A huge influence on modern music, as well as a true inspiration to anyone who would be interested in good music. The Smashing Pumpkins formed in 1988 and broke up in 2000. HOw we carry on without them is unknown...
Damn it! Turn off that stupid rap and put something good on, maybe The Smashing Pumpkins or some Red Hot Chili Peppers.

the smashing pumpkins

An amazing alternative rock band that recently got back together and is currently in the studio working on a new album!
After listening to "Mellon Collie And The Infinite Sadness," I had reached the conclusion that The Smashing Pumpkins are one of the best rock bands in history.

the smashing pumpkins

Billy Corgan (vocals)
James Iha (guitar)
Jimmy Chamerlain (Drums)
D'arcy Gretzky (Bass)

These four people made some of the best music of the Alternative Rock movement of the 90s. Hits included Disarm, Tonight, 1979, and Bullets with Butterfly Wings. There best albums are Mellan Chollie and the Infinite Sadness, Gish, and Siamese Dreams.

Better than any music of todays generation. Rap is Krap kiddies. 50 cent is really a pansy.
The smashing Pumpkins, gods of Alt Rock

The Smashing Pumpkins

One damn good band. The guy who said turn off rap and put on "Red Hot Chili Peppers", obviously knows nothing about rap or the Red Hot Chili Peppers. I take it you don't own any Chillies albums from before BSSM, and even that and Californication were HEAVILY influenced by rap music. To praise a rock band you don't have to insult rap, especially if that rock band would not exist without the influence of rap. Anyway, the Smashing Pumpkins are friggin' awesome, and they were on the Homerpalooza episode of The Simpsons.
D'arcy out of the Smashing Pumpkins is hot.

Dude, Turn This Shit Off!

Fuck dude, Green Day SUCKS!

If your gonna listen to some rock, Turn on some of The Smashing Pumpkins.
The Smashing Pumpkins by Max A, January 5, 2009

The Smashing Pumpkins

Shallow MTV plugged 'alternative' rock band, that were heavily indebted to The Cure, My Bloody Valentine and Judas Priest. As plastic as Britney Spears.
Obnoxious Thirtysomething: Hey, the Smashing Pumpkins were musical revolutionaries. Billy Corgan's a genius!

Bob: Y'mean revolutionary by the standards of Rod Stewart? Oh... um, you seem to have got overexcited, you might wanna change those trousers.

Obnoxious Thirtysomething: Wha..? And who's this My Bloody Valentine band? I've never heard them on MTV, therefore they probably don't exist.... oh, have you got a paper towel?

doorwall 

A door wall is a sliding-glass door or patio door. The term is yet another example of banal Michigan vernacular, where in the residents latch on to company names, trademark names, marketing terms and product names from local companies. The terms become embedded in the local vocabulary and eventually become accepted as actual valid words and phrases. In this case the term comes from Wallside Windows in Taylor, MI (a large window manufacturer), where 'door wall' is their created word for sliding-glass door.

Frothability 

The measure of an emotional and over zealous consumer in an upwardly charging market, also known as a bull market. It's characterized by rising asset prices, increased investor confidence, and favorable growth in the markets, bro.
The frothability was evident as over-zealous consumers eagerly engaged in bidding wars, driving property prices to unsustainable levels reminiscent of previous speculative bubbles.

Soul digger

A man who dates women with the sole purpose of exploiting their time, energy, and labor while he sucks the joy and happiness from their lives.
"That guy's a soul digger. He'll expect you to work full time, but you'll be doing all the cooking, cleaning, laundry, shopping, and childcare while he plays video games or watches TV."

pod person 

A person pretending to be something they aren't, or an impostor. This is inferred because of the old alien movies where alien pods appear on earth and the "pod people" dispose of the humans and slowly reproduce the bodies, pretending to be humans.
The pod person was pretending to be my father, but I knew that he was an alien when he acted differently than my father ever would have.

A dead drop is a location used to secretly pass items between two people, without requiring them to meet.

Spies have been known to use dead drops, using various techniques to hide the items and to signal that the drop has been made. Drug dealers use this as well.

A common place is to duct tape the item to the underside of a toilet cover in a public restroom.

A signal is sometimes used as well to indicate there is something to pickup, like a pile of stones in a certain formation. After checking the drop the signal is removed.
"The dead drop is the restroom toilet at the Gulf station at the corner of Commercial Ave. and Georges Rd."
