The Smashing Pumpkins

[monkey1989]

Oceania is a pretty decent album plenty of time for people to familiarize themselves with it

[neil999]

i think if i go see them and they dont play 1979 i will actually be really upset! sounds silly but i adore that song...they should be headlining other ffs! i dont give a pl0p if xx 'have to play in the dark' go and headline john peel or west holts..

oh crikey...am just gonna assume they wont play it, think we will def get 'tonight, tonight' , 'zero' and 'BWBW' so its not all bad!

Really enjoyed them at Reading in 07 so definitely gonna be there. One of the surprises on the lineup for me! Always the acts that get me most excited.

[RichieSpenno]

Didn't know Karl Pilkington was in Smashing Pumpkins!

I don't get how somebody could think they're MOR in any way. They're fucking brilliant. Mellon Collie is one of the best double albums ever. I may be a fan boy, but i'm also speaking truth ha

This is the name that sprang out at me most on yesterday's poster (given I was certain The Rolling Stones would be appearing).

One of very few bands that have been around for any length of time that I've yet to get around to seeing so very much looking forward to it.

Imagine Tonight Tonight as the sun goes down though.... heaven.

likewise about 1979. probably my favourite song by them, and their recent live versions of it have been absolutely fantastic

not the best video but it gives you a good idea of just how amazing it will be. i'd take 1979 over most of their other songs any day

[rexclark]

This will definitely be one of those Glastonbury moments. Cannot wait.

Dinosaur Jr, Nick Cave and the Pumpkins are like the main 3 bands I want to see, That's actually going to be the stinkiest clash I've ever had at Glasto!

Even though I could buy a ticket to see the Pumpkins at Wembley, I just reckon it's going to be fucking magic to see them at Glasto so I reckon they'll have to win!

70% of the Pumpkins career has been arse. But 'Siamese Dream' is a pretty much perfect record. It is a coruscant, heart warming masterpiece.

If the "Ask yourself a question..." coda bit at the end of 'Hummer' is MOR (as the record is described upthread) then I wish all music was MOR.

[Wooderson]

The solo on 'Geek USA' MOR? What other MOR records sound like that praytell?

[Justiceforcedave]

As has been pointed out to me, Dinosaur Jr's other commitments mean they must be playing on Friday. So it's only a 2-way stinky clash!

It's an ok album. Just formulaic and, in my opinion, pretty much indistinguishable from a load of other generic American rock of the same period. It's nothing to get excited about.

In my opinion

Eta - I'm unlikely to be persuaded their wise, and I accept that there are people who think I'm wrong...c'est la vie

Like your style guv.

[Vieuphoria]

I always thought Mellon Collie was 10x better than Siamese Dream.

[Zoo Music Girl]

Still seems like a mental clash to book! If it had been Nick Cave into Pumpkins headling the Other that would have been the PERFECT end to the festival for me!
