Wrong!!

You're thinking of The Dead.

I've had this said to me: "Wait, you DON'T do drugs and STILL like the Dead?!"

According to this thread, The Replacements and Interpol are the two greatest bands of all time.

Well, that's half right.

Get a Gun is an amazing song. What a vocal on that one.

Good choice - haven't heard this album in a year or more.

Really underrated band and this album is great front to back.

Great balance of moody, psychedelic, atmospheric and upbeat.

The Silversun Pickups video had a link to a Smashing Pumpkins live performance that had been recorded within the last couple years - didn't see the exact date.

Billy Corgan's (or however his name's spelled) lyrics and voice really don't fit his appearance. He looks like an old man, singing a young person's complaint song.

ETA: You know, complaint isn't the right word. Emotional distress at how the world doesn't quite work for him, maybe that would be a more concise way of putting it.

I always thought of it as white suburban teenage angst.

He's my age and grew up in a similar suburb of Chicago. First 3 or 4 albums nailed my teenaged childhood in so many ways.

I saw Corgan being interviewed recently (by recently it might have been 2 years ago my memory sucks) with his at the time new Pumpkins ensemble and irrc they were all female 20-somethings. It looked really forced if not creepy.

Somewhat unrelated but funny enough to reference: Donald Trump's Speeches As An Early 2000s Emo Song

Re: USCHO Music Thread 3: They Heard Me Singing

Steel Panther #4, Lower the Bar dropped last week. The last one, All You Can Eat, grew on me a fair bit after some initially lukewarm thoughts.

Overall, a bit of a departure from their usual over-the-top lyrics. The first 5 tracks are what you expect, plus the cover of "She's Tight" is solid and right up their alley, and "Pu55y Ain't Free" is an instantly relatable fan favorite for their male base . However, I'm left scratching my head at "Now the Fun Starts" and "Momentary Epiphany" - are these supposed to be sarcastic jabs at cautionary drug songs (like "18 and Life" or "Wasted Time"), or are they really trying to get serious now? Neither of these songs is anything like the comedic and awesome "I Like Drugs" from Balls Out.

Rewatched some of Hip Hop Evolution on Netflix tonight. Still mesmerized by it. Such an amazing doc.
