I've been getting into the Smashing Pumpkins only recently. I'm up through Adore. From the sounds of things... I guess I can just stop now.

As someone discovering their material for the first time, I think that SP is at their best when they get a loud, heavy groove going. Where Boys Fear to Tread is one of my top favorite songs by them, as is Zero and Quiet. With a few exceptions (notably Stumbleine and Annie Dog), I don't think their slow songs work nearly as well. Mellon Collie could absolutely be cut down to a single album. But that's coming from someone who, like I said, doesn't like 90% of their slow material. There are plenty of bands who can do pretty, atmospheric music, but I reach for SP when I want something loud and fuzzy and driving.
