Siamese Dream: One of the best albums in the 90s.

Siamese Dream. Mainly because of "Mayonnaise"

Tough to argue against Siamese Dream but I went with Gish for sentimental reasons.

Monster riffs, guitar heroics, and feedback. I am One, Snail, Rhinocerous, Bury Me, Suffer, Crush, Siva.

Great album, I may have to pull this one out in fact.

If anyone remember the talk during the Listmania on CMJ, this was one of my "lawn mowing" albums during my high school summers.

Siamese Dream = first CD I ever bought...
but Mellon Collie = double the songs...
So hard to choose...


If the Zwan album were up there, this would all the more intentionally hysterical...

Melon Collie has so much filler though. Some great great songs, but tons of filler.

MC also has one of the worst mixes of a mid-90s band that i can think of. such potent, emotional stuff and it's all mid...

so yeah, Siamese Dream, easily. we actually did a very loose, jam band vs. neu! cover of "cherub rock" last night, which was almost ironic, but gave us a good laugh nonetheless.

If not for J. Chamberlain's skin tickling alone. The percussion on Gish dominates the entire record (B.Vig production?). In '91, I would've sworn JC was J. Bonham incarnate. I've not listened to anything beyond SD, so my vote is pretty much null & void.

I'm currently celebrating my 10th anniversary of Not Having Listened To Smashing Pumpkins.

siamese dream is awesome. it's the only smashing pumpkins album i still own, other than an acoustic show from dutch radio on some probably-bootlegged disc. there are only two albums from 1993 that i've owned and have listened to consistently since then and this is one of them.

Definitely Gish. I can't get any of the used record shops around here to buy my Mellon Collie album. Apparently everyone's unloaded their copy!

I voted Gish simply because it's the only Pumpkins album I ever bought. Sold it after a month or so of unsuccessfully trying to find a tolerance for Corgan's voice.

I would rate SP album quality the same as the disc chronology.

Gish/SD are still incredible.

I was the first person I knew/in my town to own Gish way back when....That being said, Siamese Dream slays....One of the Top 5 best albums of the '90's. That being said, I love the hound out of the great majority of Billy's material.

Awww, HAILLLL NOOOOO. I'm sorry, I just consider the Pumpkins work to be Billy. I ain't buying NOBODY'S f-ing book of poetry. Pardon the confusion.

I voted for Adore because it seems to be the most "distant" album which is what I love about it. However, I do enjoy all of the others.
