Who here became a Pumpkins fan from post MCIS matarial?
meaning anything from the release of Eye or TEITBITE onwards.
It seems a lot of fans of SP were turned onto them from SD or MCIS, their most popular albums. |

I still don't care for Gish, and I don't know why Siamese Dream is considered so highly around here. It's pretty good, but I would rather listen to pretty much anything Billy has done since with the exception of Rocket. |

I bought Adore when it came out, which was my first SP album. I had heard MCIS before though and i was thoroughly impressed, so at least that's where my interest for SP came to exist.

A similar situation, but I'd heard some of the MCIS singles and I thought they were just another dumb rock band. Obviously I wasn't listening hard enough.

I downloaded BWBW after finally acquiring the internet and Limewire. I always liked to download a couple random songs by an artist to see if I would like them for more than just the single. I fell in love with SP after hearing Real Love, Tear, and Shame.

Casual fan during MCIS. TAFH got me hooked. Total fanboy by the release of Adore.

I remember the exact moment...Summer of '94
I was in my grandma's basement watching MTV. The Rocket video came on and that was all she wrote. I was 11, almost 12. It's pretty weird to think that I've been a fan longer than I haven't in my total life. |

Total fangirl since I saw the rockumentary om MTV. I loved "disarm" prior to watching it, but it wasn't until I heard Billy speak I really became a fangirl. He just intrigued me. I remember asking my best friend at school the day after: What's the name of the lead singer in The Pumpkins? "Billy Corgan" she replied. And I just kept repeating his name in my head all day. I was hooked. It was love at, well, second sight. So fan since SD. I was 16, and next february it will be 14 years since I got the Billy bug. Yikes.

I am a Siamese Era...since just before SD was released....but I know several people who became fans after the release of Adore and I know others who have slowly listened to more and more of their music in just the past few years

I heard Machina right when it came out, when I was in, maybe 7th grade, I can't even remember what my favorite songs on it were back then. Then got MCIS, followed by SD, followed by Pisces, then Gish, then Adore.

[quote=greedo;3354445]I didn't consider myself a fan until Machina. I loved MCIS and really liked Adore, but Machina made me a fan. MCIS is still my favourite album though.
and I don't know why Siamese Dream is considered so highly around here. Wait.. Really? |

I didn't become a fan until I think my sophomore year of college, but that was due to finally getting SD and listening to it.

Being born in November of 82 I was only 10 years old when Gish came out. I had neighbors that were older than me that were playing gish and SD all the time so that got me hooked. When MCIS came out it took me forever to get thirty bucks together to buy the album. The best purchase a 13 year old kid could make. So thats that. Then it was going back and finding out about pieces iscariot and TAFH. TAFH seemed like something I would never own considering it was 50 or 60 bucks when it came out. But a girlfriend bought it for me and well, she still holds a dear part of my heart for that incredible present!

Some of these stories are pretty neat

I think some of the popularity of SD is due to the innovative recording and production that went into it. Not that your average listener would know about that, but they would certainly be able to hear how deep and swirling the sound is. |

I was watching MTV with my dad i was like 6 or 7 and the video for Today came on I loved it so much i begged my mom to buy the CD for me. I remember the guy telling my mom that it was their first release so i didn't know about Gish till a few years later when MCIS came out.
