I've never liked Billy Corgan (even before his reactionary libertarian side came out) and I always tried my best to dislike Smashing Pumpkins, so it annoyed me how great of a songwriter and musician he actually is. It took some time for me to realize and admit it, but Siamese Dream and Mellon Collie really are masterpieces. And 1979, along with Mayonnaise and Today, are my three favorite Pumpkins songs. The video is so perfect for this song too. A pure nostalgia bomb for anyone who grew up in the 90s like me.

Siamese Dream will always be a GOATed alt rock album, so it remains probably the most difficult test of how good I am at separating art from the artist.
