It was the same here. People saying otherwise weren't even born or were in diapers when MCIS came out.

The only Radiohead songs I hear on the radio here are Creep and High & Dry. No Surprise, Karma Police, Street Spirit and Paranoid Android very rarely. I don't think I've ever heard them playing Fake Plastic Trees... |

I know a few people who will quietly admit to buying SD or MCIS but it's a sort of embarrassing thing like admitting you bought a Limp Bizkit record. |

UK bands get a pass with the press that few American bands do unless you're from NYC. Thom Yorke's voice is no less whiny or polarizing than those who say the same about Billy's voice. Radiohead still never released an album as good as Siamese Dream either. OK Computer is close, but still comes off like a 90's alternative retread of Dark Side of the Moon.

Jimmy Chamberlain plays the hits of the Smashing Pumpkins w/ the guy from Radiohead on lead vocals would sell better than Shiny & Oh So Bright.

OK Computer is an album about the cheapest Dell desktop you can buy

Perhaps if Billy just killed himself he would have had a greater legacy than committing career suicide. It would have been very Kurt of him. |

I would, most days, probably put Radiohead's "Videotape" alone above just about the entire Pumpkins catalogue, but I think we can all agree that the determining factor here is brute strength
And Billy could, despite his pudge, very easily piledrive Thom through a card table Jimmy could fold up Phil into a meatcube, there's no contest there I don't know how a Colin/D'arcy matchup (I'm assuming original lineup here) would go down, but I feel like D'arcy would fight like a cornered animal and probably have a shiv up her sleeve James versus Jonny? They'd weakly slap at each other; call it a draw THE WINNER: THE SMASHINNNNNNNNNG…PUMPKINS Now everybody shut up |

2. I would name Soundgarden as a contemporary band with similar popularity and recognition. SP was bigger at the time but in terms of the kind of legacy the bands left on the general public, they are comparable. Pearl Jam is way more popular than either I think. |

Yeah it's not like I was actually at a MCIS show, and it's not like it was completely sold out, and it's not like the crowd was going completely insane with adoration for the band far more than any of the times I've seen Radiohead.

Billy Corgan was dating Courtney Love before she even knew who Kurt Cobain was. Get your facts straight.
