1979 will always be one of the best songs of the 90s

As incredible as Siamese Dream, and undoubtedly more consistent, MCIS will always remain the pinnacle of SP’s work imo. The sheer epicness and variety is just mind blowing. Sure there are a few clunkers, but only a few, and there are far more instant classics.



I grew up listening to SD and MCIS, but I probably listened to MC the most. Being a 90s teen was so awesome. So much great music (SP, AiC, Soundgarden, PJ, Tool, NIN, etc) — I feel sorry for the youth of today. They have no idea how deprived they are.

Every track on here belongs here - the fact that there is at least single album's worth of grade A outtakes kinda attests to that

Mostly agree. Not a big fan of Lily and Farewell and Goodnight tho but wouldn’t call them filler.



And I’m in the minority who thinks disc 2 is superior to disc 1. Always have.

Yes they can listen. But most don’t. Even more depressing.



I don’t know man, they’re blessed and cursed with technological overload. Between smartphones, YouTube, streaming etc, most have a short attention span and more listen to songs and playlists than actual albums.



I’ve always been an album guy. Listening to just one song at a tome is like watching various scenes to various movies, rather than an entire movie.

"Yes they can listen. But most don’t. Even more depressing."

you mean like how most kids in the 90s listened to the backstreet boys instead of smashing pumpkins?

Lol. I wouldn’t say that. Maybe most preteen girls? But no way, Pumpkins’ were one of the best selling artists of the 90s so your argument holds no weight at all!

perhaps my research is lacking but a cursory search turned up that one sold more than 3 times the records that the other did

that sounds like a comparative majority to me

i dont appreciate the condescending implication that i wasnt around though, id be very surprised if you werent younger than me lol

I dunno, I’m 36.



I didn’t mean to be condescending tbh so I’m sorry if it came off that way.



I’m just saying that plenty of teens were listening to Pumpkins. More were listening to Backstreet Boys of course, but they were insanely popular with girls. Doesn’t mean that tons of teens weren’t listening to the Pumpkins because they were

I hate people complaining about kids these days and music these days. Like seriously, didn't your generation fuck things up enough?

Fair enough. Just saying I think music was so much better in the 90s vs now.

It wasn't. The rock music that actually made it to mainstream just was

yeah mainstream and bestselling music was for the most part much better in the not-2000s-yet but across the board you can find thousands of good releases in any decade

if anything id expect the concentration of good music to only increase as the means to create and produce music become more and more accessible to more and more people
