R&P: Do you consider the Smashing Pumpkins grunge (and if possible, recommend me some songs)?
Being an alternative rock fan, you probably expect me to be a Smashing Pumpkins fan. Well, not really. I find Billy Corgan's voice to be irritating. I've heard some of the band's hits (such as 1979, Bullet With Butterfly Wings, etc) but I don't really like them much. Any suggestions for me? :D
And, do you consider the band grunge? They're from Chicago, by the way.

Mr. W: Because 99% of grunge bands are from Seattle (or the state of Washington). lol

Id consider them Hard Rock. They were good but his side project Zwan was horrid and the latest SP album even more horrid.
Other good songs are
Today Cherub Rock The End Is The Beginning Is The End Machina The Machines Of God Disarm Love Where Boys Fear To trend
Overall, I wouldn't call them grunge, though some of their songs do have grunge elements.
Try the songs:
Tonight, Tonight Zero Siva Rhinoceros Landslide (Fleetwood Mac cover) Disarm Adore Tarantula Doomsday Clock Today Cherub Rock Quiet Mayonaise Rocket Here Is No Why F*ck You (An Ode to No One) Thru The Eyes of Ruby Tales of a Scorched Earth Muzzle Porcelina of the Vast Oceans Bodies Thirty - Three X.Y.U We Only Come Out At Night I Am One Bury Me Crush Snail Tristessa Window Paine Ava Adore Eye Perfect
BQ: Tonight, Tonight BQ2: Mellon Collie & The Infinite Sadness
Yes the Smashing Pumpkins WERE grunge, and especially if you look at their live performances during the early 90's, Blly Corgan screams and growls a lot, and Albums like Siamese Dream and Gish definitely have a grunge aspect to them, with Dark lyrics and sludgy guitar sound, you can't possibly miss that.
No. Not at all. They have songs that could be considered grunge (Cherub Rock, barely), but they are not grunge. They're songs are put together better to be grunge and they're cleaner.
BQ- I don't even know anymore. BQ2- Adore or Machina/The Machines of God or Siamese Dream
It's hard to say suggestions if you don't like his voice. Thirty Three Drown I of the Mourning In the Arms of Sleep Snail Rhinoceros
Those will probably just make you hate his voice even more. Give me a day and a half and I can make a list of song with less annoying Billy vocals.
