I just wanted to reply because it seems that everyone else has, and I didn't want to be left out...and I think that "Corgan's biggest blunder" was the choice of singles post-MCIS. To Sheila, Crestfallen, & TTT had no commercial potential whatsoever. And since commercial success is the point of singles, then releasing the wrong singles prevented the band's fan base from growing by keeping their music out of the limelight. And while popularity isn't everything, as in it shouldn't be your goal when you're making your music, once the music is made, then why the hell not use that music to reach as many people as possible? Huh? And this reminds me of something--wasn't Jellybelly supposed to be the first MCIS single? If it had been, THAT would have been the biggest blunder, cause we all know what happened with BWBW, and it wouldn't have happened with Jellybelly. Word.
