IMO, they were great all throughout their initial run. I recently revisited Machina and it sounds like shit but it's filled with strong songs.

Siamese Dream remains my favorite 90s rock album

Yeah I love MACHINA. Even Zeitgeist has some decent tracks.

i quite like adore, and there are some strong songs on machina, but even those two albums are a giant step back from SD and MC...

even gish is better than I remember. I think Billy Corgan is probably the most talented musician of that scene

I guess. But rarely has his music moved me. There are a handful of songs but that's it. So, really what's the point? What good is it being "the best musician" of a time and place if the music doesn't affect or move you?

It is actually unfair how head-and-shoulders above everything else Siamese Dream is in this tourney. It's almost reason enough to remove it.
