Also, damn Gish is 30 years old...1991 seems so far away and at the same, so fucking near.

I'm coming up on 20 years as a fan. Feeling old, but fortunately not that old.

[VinylGuy]

im a fan since Adore, but i liked Today a lot when it came out. The video was pretty much everywhere...

[Ello Sailor]

I loved 1979 and Tonight, Tonight but I had no idea they were Pumpkins songs, so it doesn't really count. Listening to Rotten Apples for the first time was a huge blast from the past for me. Being able to put a name to these songs I had heard countless times on the radio growing up hit me like a ton of bricks.

I listened to Mellon Collie for the first time in decades last week and it was a lot better than I remembered. I think at the time, which I listened to parts of it a lot, was just that it is so long. Dropped off after that album, though I did jump back on board to listen to the two albums they released after they “reformed” a while back - Zeitgeist and Oceania. Then dropped off again. Something about this music simultaneously thrills and annoys me. A hot or cold type of thing with nothing in between.

Meanwhile, I am looking for ways to roll back into it because of the Sea Hear Now festival in September. So I will be giving it yet another go.

As a kid i remember loving Today and Disarm because of the videos...and from Mellon Collie, 1979 was my favorite but it wasnt until Adore that i got the albums.

I might bought Siamese Dream before maybe? Dont quite remember. My Mellon Collie cd was a cd copy because it was double and super expensive at the time.

If you're some kind of psycho, pre-orders are open for a 2-LP release of a live show from 1992 ($70, or $170 if you want it autographed): https://madamezuzus.com/collections/rec ... an-lp-1992

[VinylGuy]

yeah, i saw that...a japan tour from 1992. Cool release for sure.

[Simple Torture]

There's going to be a regular black release at some point, and it would be cool to have...but I would be shocked it that drops below $50.

[VinylGuy]

yeah, those things are expensive...and if Billy alone is behind it will be more expensive. Still, everything he did with the reissues of the albums has been amazing.

[VinylGuy]

listening to Gish right now....what a debut...to start an album with I Am One...This things sounds amazing...i forgot how much i love the bass in this album, sounds incredible.

Also fuuuck Crush is such a good song.

[Ello Sailor]

'Bury Me' has such a badass bassline.

I think 'Snail' is the best song on there.

[VinylGuy]

I think Rhinoceros is the best one. But yeah, there are so many...

Hell, even Daydream is amazing.

Man, Corgan is insufferable. Would grunge even exist without him?

i feel bad for Jimmy and James.

Gish - released in May 1991
Ten - recorded March 27 – April 26, 1991

Hm... maybe Ed got the album before it came out?
