R&P: Do you consider the Smashing Pumpkins grunge (and if possible, recommend me some songs)?

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

BQ: Where Boys Fear To Trend

BQ2: Mellon Collie

Smashing Pumpkins Grunge

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

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.

Not really. They definitely have some grunge-ish songs, especially on Mellon Collie, but I wouldn't consider them grunge by any means. You might like Machina II, it's very raw and grungy sounding, and it's free!

...but what does being from Chicago have to do with anything?

Oh ok that makes sense! I totally didn't make that connection, lol.

BQ: Currently If There Is A God

BQ: Mellon Collie & The Infinite Sadness

I don't really consider them grunge. Some of their songs have a grunge sound but not too many.

If you don't like those songs, then you more than likely won't like their other songs. Not to say they sound the same in every song but, I mean, it's his voice it will always sound like that.

BA: Don't really have one, I like 95% of their songs.

BA2: Probably Siamese Dream or Gish.

Now that I think about it, if you wanted something from them that might be different, check out Adore. It is different from their normal sound and its a bit softer I guess.

Sorry, I wouldn't know. But I'm interested in seeing some answers.

One time I was waiting to be picked up from school and my friend and I were waiting in the classroom. I was singing "Should I Stay or Should I Go" by the Clash when my teacher walks in. We started talking about music and she said she liked Bread and I told her a few of my favorite bands. She goes "Ughh ew! You must like those Smashing Pumpkin people as well!"

The Pumpkins started out grunge and then evolved as they went along. Their Machina album was mixed by Flood the same guys who did Trent Reznor's work. You can hear slight elements of techno on that album in a couple of tracks.

BQ- Zero from Mellon Collie and the Infinite Sadness.
