My List- Top 10 of the 90s: Siamese Dream, HUM- You'd Prefer an Astronaut, Pearl Jam-Ten, Jane's Addiction- Ritual De Lo Habitual, Sonic Youth- Dirty; Faith No More- Angel Dust; Sunny Day Real Estate- Diary, Dino Jr.- Without a Sound, The Pixies- Bossanova/ Doolittle, Radiohead- OK Computer.
Siamese Dream - Smashing Pumpkins, Blind Melon - Blind Melon, Too High To Die - Meat Puppets, Loveless - My Bloody Valentine, and Ten - Pearl Jam are my top 5 albums of the 90s
@TPZEbanda Yes, HUM is the band name. It's rock bro. Straight up, kick-ass Rock...um, perhaps Alt. Rock (still not really sure what that actually means) Rock is rock as far as I'm concerned. You've probably already heard "Stars" track 3 off of "You'd prefer an Astronaut" if you've been into the Pumpkins since the Siamese Dream or Gish days.
@TPZEbanda My list is: In utero by nirvana, Superunknown by soundgarden, aenima by tool, siamese dream by smashing pumpkins and 40 oz to freedom by sublime. That's just one of the lists.
I wasn't born when this came out. But my sisters used to play this when I was very little. My earliest memories were listening to music like this. Thank God for having a family with taste in music. I still have the Mellon Collie and the Infinite Sadness and Siamese Dream CDs here. My sisters gave them to me when I was old enough to recognize who they were. Pretty awesome.
I first heard these guys in '90. I told my then girlfriend that they would change the face of music.. She thought I was fucking nuts. Well, she is gone and the 'kins are a true story of great music. I dont music gets the chance to see this but once every generation. I consider them our "Who".
remember 1993-94? oh my those are the best times, especially with the family and music like this. i will always feel that the best and worst thing about life is the passing of time.
Smashing Pumpkins changed my life. 14 years of age, and listening to the tripe that was played on the radio day in day out. I saw an advert for the smashing pumpkins rotten apples greatest hits. I went out the next day and bought it, not knowing any of the songs or even what the pumpkins were about, never heard of them, took a chance and spent my savings on it. One of the best things i ever done in my life.. followed it up with siamese dream and mellon collie, and the rest, and never looked back
I had a similar experience. I too was about 13/14 and it was around the time that Rotten Apples was released, and I remember buying it on the strength of seeing a documentary on them one night. Blew me away! Ended up buying their entire back catalogue and getting old of every song I could find!
I.. ah.. was the inspiration for ...everything Billy Corgan ..did. This was song written, sung and specifically mixed for me- DON'T CALL ME A LIAR!!1 BECAUSE I'M NOT!!
Living in Seattle WA, from 1990-94 going to graduate school, I remember working in lab and one of my lab mates was a DJ for the school radio and on came a song by Nirvana and I was like who is that? Two months later they blew up. Then I remember turning down my best friend to see Pumpkins for free during their Gish tour (what a idiot!). Finally, I remember walking in a bar downtown, seeing a flier that both pearl jam and Sound Garden were playing together the same night! Pumpkins were EPIC
I rate this album so high in terms of impact and influence on me as musician. The production with it's crisp percussion coupled with out in frontbase then the layers of meaty overdriven riffs and sweet melodies that grabed you by the balls and the heartstrings simultaneously. I really feel Billy Corgan blew his load on this one, in relationship to his subsequent work, but what an amazing orgasm it was for a generation.

zoals ik al vertelde ik was in 94 voor het eerst in israel op een moshave vlak bij de jordaanse grens in de ochtend om 5 uur gingen we paprikas plukken de zon kwam op tripping me and them

I keep trying to evolve musically. To a certain extent, I've succeeded. But every time I hear this track, I completely regress to where I was when I was 15 years old; I don't care about anything I've learned in the 15 more years since, it's like I'm transported back in time. Really, I'm just reawakened to what is probably one of the greatest rock songs of the 90's, and maybe of all time.
This album is just SO heavy in my memories. Forever connected to a girl in my memories who I fell deeply in love with while I was married to a mean nasty person. Feeling unappreciated and hurt, the "girl" (co-worker) lured me in and showed me warmth that I so desperately craved. Emotionally, I felt loved, hated, wrought with guilt, free and imprisoned all at the same time. I listened to this album the entire year, and it mirrored my every feeling at the time. Truly amazing what this album means
@xXdEaThSeQuEnCeXx lol yeah i was over exaggerating a little, but you know, its rare. in my teens, i was falling in love with a new band every week. now it takes about 6 months to find something i like
@Zardi82 Not even them, lol. I think nowadays Muse is the musical alternative in creativity, innovation when it comes to rock. You also have Queens Of The Stone Age or Foo Fighters. And yeah, ol' Smashing ruled!
@Metalcousins The new Foo album is just awesome. Plus, not many people know about R.E.M.'s new album. I think they're finally returning 2 the awesomeness they had in the 80's.
@d1versify wtf does QQing mean? chill out mate, it was only a light hearted comment. absolutely no reason to attack me personally, you dont know anything about me
Everytime I play this song on my guitar, I feel like a badass.
Also patheticnonsense, i agree with you this is one of the best albums of all time, if i was in a fire and i three things to save. It would be this Siamese Dream, Ten and Nevermind. My absolute favorite CDs!!!!!
Whenever i'm feeling angry or sad, putting my headphones on and listening to siamese dream makes me feel okay. Something about the music calms me down.
@patheticnonsense Definitely The Smashing Pumpkins best and definitely one of the best albums from the 90's. Every song, including this, is unbelievable. Siamese Dream and August and Everything After (Counting Crows) are my favorite albums from the 90's no question.
that one really deep grungy distorted guitar drop from all the licks is just wat makes smashing pumpkins so memorable one of my favorite bands of all times pretty hot chick in it too lol i love paz from apc more though
I miss the sweeping melodic overtones of this band. Not sure how much James Iha played in the creation of the melodies but it's like high-priced artwork flying into the brain. Amazing stuff to say the least.
@CAPTAINSARGE well it wasn't really mine it was my dad's lol. and it only played tapes. i had a siamese dream one and a pearl jam one. siamese dream got played pretty much all the time though :-). pretty much every song on that album is gold in my opinion!
First of all why 5 dislike's?! obviously tone deaf people who do not understand amazing music, can not be any other reason really.. an amazing past grunge band and a classic album which is up there with Nevermind and Ten.
this is one of my favorites from the pumpkins. i fell asleep one night with my head phones on and woke up to the part of, "do you feel love is real"?and the whole song is so deep. any body that is a pumpkins fan, you know what i'm talkin about. it was almost a revelation. anybody know what i'm sayin?
It's interesting comparing this album to Melon Collie. There's an interview where Billy talks about Flood (producer of Melon Collie) focusing on feel and atmosphere, whereas Butch Vig (Siamese Dream) was more about technical perfection and crafting the ultimate piece of art. Siamese Dream doesn't feel as grand or diverse to me, but is a stunning example of guitar layers and melodies forming a perfect wall of sound. mrjackolanters is bang on. It transports me in a way no other album ever has.
I always wanted to obtain the masters to this record and extend 4:30 to another minute or so. Maybe I'll do it with doubles of the vinyl if I'm DJing somewhere. That part of the song has always been so poignant. Do You Feel...Love Is Real?
This is easily the pumpkins best album, i felt they were overly ambitious with the double disc set of melon collie despite a clutch of great songs most of the album was mediocre filler, every single song here is quality and criminally underrated. This was the soundtrack to my youth.
This one of the must underated smashing pumpkins songs, sure there is songs like Zero, cherub rock , disarm etc and they are great but this song is outstanding and is not really spoken much about.
I listened to this album for 3 days straight when my grandma died back in '95; it's very deep and personal to me and I can only hear it maybe 2 times a year, it's so emotional and powerful to me. I just disappear as it envelopes me into it's beauty, pain and splendor and I remember her so vividly...it is so bitter sweet I am always moved to tears. An absolute masterpiece! 'Do you feel...love is real?!" ~Goodbye grandma, I miss you still! )=
reading some of the comments here is giving me goosebumps because of similar sentiments toward the song. it will always be sophomore summer vacation during early 94 for me. vast fields of orange and great sunsets and fooling around with various girls and going home to listen to siamese dream and repeat the album and repeat this track.
this whole album reminds me of autumn back home when i was a teenager.... i dropped acid for the first time to this album... nothing but warm feelings when i hear this :)
anyone else think that this album has alot to do with being an individual? :)
"I chased the charmed but I don't want them anymore" -Hummer
"I'm all by myself, as I've always felt" -Soma
"No longer will I follow" -Mayonaise
It's ironic because this summer I chose to walk away from a certain group and just do what I wanted it was also the summer I first listened to this amazing album.
I wholeheartedly agree with mrjackolanters and mandrilmalo. There is something so peacefully chaotic about Smashing, just makes you feel oh so good!!!
Part of the soundtrack to my youth ... Like "les madeleines" (Proust) an intangable aspect takes this music to a higher level, here not the smell or tast of pastery, but the atmosphere of being young and all you did. Stop being too critical to current music. By definition, it can not bring on the same "feel" as we (the young elderly) have for our past current music.
RIP Summer '09. Getting this vinyl was one of the top ten things that I ever did. My friends and I use to put it on and bullshit in the mornings after all nighters fueled by the blissful defiance of authority. Now everytime I here a song off this album, I get that surrealistic pumkinhead experiance that nothing else can really compare to.
Everytime I listen to this song, it brings me back to a time when I was the happiest, and seriously, it's just so majestic, I feel like I just drift of past space and time.
Someone brought their guitar to class, I played the last part of this to the end, and then one girl in the class, gets off her chair and is like, "WAT IS THAT"
i LOVE how he drop tunes his guitar in the middle of the riff 1:04 and then tunes it back up to perfect pitch...just brilliant. ...absolutely brilliant....
@medellia85 omg i was just thinking of the same thing when i heard it for the first time it literally pushed me back into my seat, it grabbed my body. best feeling in the world
I agree with mrjackolanterns completely. For some reason whenever i listen to practically any of the pumpkin's songs i feel like im in almost another time and place just engulfed in the wonderous lyrics and tremendous instruments. Its almost like being high if that makes any sense. Anyway, this is probably the most epic band to have lived on earth, and if anyone else ever comes close to the amazing sounds of the pumpkins, i pray ill be there to witness it.
4:29 on is a dream. One of the best SP songs. <3

First of all why 5 dislike's?! obviously tone deaf people who do not understand amazing music, can not be any other reason really.. an amazing past grunge band and a classic album which is up there with Nevermind and Ten.

"Ask yourself a question. Anyone but me, I ain't free." is the proper lyric. Beautilul and powerful song.

this is one of my favorites from the pumpkins. i fell asleep one night with my head phones on and woke up to the part of, "do you feel love is real"?and the whole song is so deep. any body that is a pumpkins fan, you know what i'm talkin about. it was almost a revelation. anybody know what i'm sayin?

It's interesting comparing this album to Melon Collie. There's an interview where Billy talks about Flood (producer of Melon Collie) focusing on feel and atmosphere, whereas Butch Vig (Siamese Dream) was more about technical perfection and crafting the ultimate piece of art. Siamese Dream doesn't feel as grand or diverse to me, but is a stunning example of guitar layers and melodies forming a perfect wall of sound. mrjackolanters is bang on. It transports me in a way no other album ever has.

I always wanted to obtain the masters to this record and extend 4:30 to another minute or so. Maybe I'll do it with doubles of the vinyl if I'm DJing somewhere. That part of the song has always been so poignant. Do You Feel...Love Is Real?

This is easily the pumpkins best album, i felt they were overly ambitious with the double disc set of melon collie despite a clutch of great songs most of the album was mediocre filler, every single song here is quality and criminally underrated. This was the soundtrack to my youth.

This one of the must underated smashing pumpkins songs, sure there is songs like Zero, cherub rock , disarm etc and they are great but this song is outstanding and is not really spoken much about.

I listened to this album for 3 days straight when my grandma died back in '95; it's very deep and personal to me and I can only hear it maybe 2 times a year, it's so emotional and powerful to me. I just disappear as it envelopes me into it's beauty, pain and splendor and I remember her so vividly...it is so bitter sweet I am always moved to tears. An absolute masterpiece! 'Do you feel...love is real?!" ~Goodbye grandma, I miss you still! )=

reading some of the comments here is giving me goosebumps because of similar sentiments toward the song. it will always be sophomore summer vacation during early 94 for me. vast fields of orange and great sunsets and fooling around with various girls and going home to listen to siamese dream and repeat the album and repeat this track.

"No longer will I follow" -Mayonaise
It's ironic because this summer I chose to walk away from a certain group and just do what I wanted it was also the summer I first listened to this amazing album.

Part of the soundtrack to my youth ... Like "les madeleines" (Proust) an intangable aspect takes this music to a higher level, here not the smell or tast of pastery, but the atmosphere of being young and all you did. Stop being too critical to current music. By definition, it can not bring on the same "feel" as we (the young elderly) have for our past current music.

RIP Summer '09. Getting this vinyl was one of the top ten things that I ever did. My friends and I use to put it on and bullshit in the mornings after all nighters fueled by the blissful defiance of authority. Now everytime I here a song off this album, I get that surrealistic pumkinhead experiance that nothing else can really compare to.

Everytime I listen to this song, it brings me back to a time when I was the happiest, and seriously, it's just so majestic, I feel like I just drift of past space and time.

The bends in the riff and the solo combined with the tone of his guitar makes me feel like i'm flying in the skies as free as a bird.

i LOVE how he drop tunes his guitar in the middle of the riff 1:04 and then tunes it back up to perfect pitch...just brilliant. ...absolutely brilliant....

I agree with mrjackolanterns completely. For some reason whenever i listen to practically any of the pumpkin's songs i feel like im in almost another time and place just engulfed in the wonderous lyrics and tremendous instruments. Its almost like being high if that makes any sense. Anyway, this is probably the most epic band to have lived on earth, and if anyone else ever comes close to the amazing sounds of the pumpkins, i pray ill be there to witness it.
