Exclamation How did Billy Corgan go from The Marked to Smashing Pumpkins?

I've never seen this discussed. I own The Marked's complete demo set and I've probably only listened to it twice in about five years because it's so bad. Check this shit out:

Then listen to Gish... it's a miracle!

Seriously, how did Billy Corgan improve this much in just a few years?

He sold his soul to satan obviously. Thats why he's all into god now. He knows he's going to burn in hell soon.


Too bad bill, you're fucked.

After reading this post, I listened to the song and got it stuck it in my head. It's a catchy song but it's no where near as good as anything on Gish.

very early pumpkins weren't too far past the Marked. The real question is how did they go from early pumpkins to Gish

I don't agree with that. The Pumpkins were much better than the Marked right from the beginning. Of course, that can probably be explained by the fact that they had two world class musicians to go with Billy Corgan.

That's worthy of a Twilight Zone episode. Come to think of it, something like this probably was a Twilight Zone episode.

Spiteface, anyone?

Or what about "Death Of A Mind" = Sun? (and FWIW I think DOAM was better)
