first love

Ah... Siamese Dream. I keep coming back to you every time. I don't know what it is, the beginning of the song "Rocket" or the chorus of "Cherub Rock"? I think you symbolize a time when before Billy Corgan went crazy, or before that touring keyboard player overdosed and died. Smashing pumpkins was different back then. It wasn't this overbearing, electronica weird crap that finally did you in. I know most of the album is one big guitar overdub, and that's ok. The big muff distortion really screams alternative youth! Siamese Dream, you will always be in my top ten.
