You can see one show, both bands with original lineups, in their prime. Who do you choose?
Smashing Pumpkins
>>61165690
Objectively Smashing Pumpkins
death cab
Mellon Collie-era SP
no doubt about it
Pumpkins obviously
smashing pumpkins
Who the fuck would choose Death Cab desu?
>>61165866
They have some really good songs, asshole.
>>61165928
I know they do, they're a good band, I quite like them. But SP at their prime were beast live, plus Jimmy motherfucking Chamberlain. Who could say no to that?
>>61165866
me. loved them in high school and never really cared for Smashing Pumpkins
>>61165949
He's one of the best drummers, ever. I love JC.
>>61166007
What's wrong with TSP?
>>61165690
Well they're both utter shite so I think I'd just stay home.
Death Cab
From Something About Airplanes to Transatlanticism easily
We have the facts Death Cab over billy corgan and his smashing pumpkins. Death Cab was more of a band. Chris Walla hand equal input into early death cab. Pumpkins was just billy telling jimmy to do some ghost notes and he'd be melancholic over it.
>>61165866
Listen to their discography up to Transatlanticism
>>61165690
Death cab easily.
Corgan is such a pretentious asshole.
>>61166132
Some would say he's earned that right.
>>61166180
No one earns the right to say something as pretentious as "rap music will be looked over as some kind of embarrassment" after writing bullet with butterfly wings.
Pumpkins, of course, especially hoping to watch them play Starla, Mayonaise and Silverfuck
>>61166037
I never said anything was
>>61166664
You never really cared for them, so there must be something about them that you don't like.
>>61166700
I just never made a conscious effort to listen to their discography. The few songs I did hear were not interesting or special to me so I never decided to delve deeper.
Transatlanticism on the other hand gives me massive feels/nostalgia.
>>61166752
That's how I feel about Dead Cab lel. The few songs I've heard haven't given me any feels. Soul Meets Body is good though.
Siamese Dream is fucking god tier, in the top 3 albums of the 90s
Gish is also fucking excellent and MC is pretty good too
>>61166916
What would you say the top 5 90's albums are? I also put Siamese Dream in there, btw.
If you held a gun to my head right now and made me choose, here's my top 5:
Nirvana: Nevermind
Pearl Jam: Ten
Smashing Pumpkins: Siamese Dream
Faith No More: Angel Dust
Alice In Chains: Dirt
>>61165690
Smashing Pumpkins, but how is this even a valid comparison?
>>61166992
1. Definitely Maybe
2. Dirt
3. Siamese Dream
4. Aenima
5. Welcome to Sky Valley
>>61167022
Jesus Fucking Christ, you actually put an Oasis album there? Get the fuck outta here.
>>61166992
1. Siamese Dream
2. Loveless
3. Repeater
4. TNT
5. Aenima
>>61166345
Yahoy
>>61165690
Smashing Pumpkins, no question. Wtf
>>61166254
>"rap music will be looked over as some kind of embarrassment"
but he's absolutely right. and BwBW is a good song.
We have the facts and transalatncism are amazing albums
Saw them live at msg in September
>>61166992
Nirvana - In Utero
Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds - Murder Ballads
The Smashing Pumpkins - Siamese Dream
My Bloody Valentine - Loveless
Jeff Buckley - Grace
This thread makes no sense, SD is the literal GOAT 90s alt rock album and anyone who disagrees is a moron
death cab were ok at their best. transatlanticism is cool and plans had some nice songs
death cab v say... the shins, sp's vs nirvana. these are fair
>>61166992
Ten doesn't deserve a spot
>>61167022
Definitely Maybe is shit
Otherwise great choices
>>61167042
>being this much of a negative pleb
kill urself my man
>>61165690
>with original lineups
>in their prime
Obviously Smashing Pumpkins then
"Death Cab For Cutie"
Such a cringeworthy name. Who's in the band, kids for fucks sake?
>>61167786
The Smashing Pumpkins is a shit name too tbf
band names don't really mean anything after you've heard them a few times
>>61167786
"My Bloody Valentine"
>>61165690
Pumpkins
Jimmy C + James Iha is really all I need. Seeing Corgan before he went insane and D'arcy is just a bonus
>>61165726
Stealing this band name
Death Cab in we have the facts era
>>61166992
Soundgarden - Superunknown
R.E.M. - Automatic for the People
Slint - Spiderland
Alice In Chains - Jar of Flies
Tom Waits - Mule Variations
>>61165743
this
>>61167809
The Smashing Pumpkins is an excellent name and I'm not even a huge fan of the band.
Siamese Dream was pretty good.
Mellon Collie had some good tracks, but a lot of filler and would have been better had it been compressed into a single album like 99% of all double albums.
>>61165690
It's like between choosing between urine and feces. I'll go with Pumpkins.
>>61167217
>DESPITE ALL MY RAGE I AM STILL
>JUST A RAT IN A CAGE
>GOOOD
>>61166827
>Soul Meets Body is good though.
>doesn't like any others
pleb confirmed
>>61167010
It's not, Death Cab has artistic merit.
>THE WORLD IS A VAMPIRE
>basic ass harmonic structure with cock solos and fancy arrangements to convince the listener they're not listening to basic Fuzz Rock
>>61169210
Nice
>>61166082
careful with that edge faggot
considering I was in sixth grade when Siamese Dream came out (1993), here's my teenage self's top five records of the 90s:
1. Porno For Pyros: self titled
2: Smashing Pumpkins: Siamese Dream
3. Green Day: Dookie
4. Screaming Trees: Dust
5. Beck: Mellow Gold
SPs best album btw
deathcab was better when ben was a fat sad piece of shit
>>61172207
>1. Porno For Pyros: self titled
good choice
>>61172393
It was so underrated and deserved better.
>>61167786
>not knowing the source
plen
>>61172469
agreed
>>61172257
nah
