# I'm not really too bothered about bands having guitars
In fact, speaking of Smashing Pumpkins, my favourite album of theirs is the electronica-tinged Adore.

# Mellon Collie is a very close 2nd (and Siamese Dream is a very close 3rd)
In fact I possibly like Mellon Collie a little more, I just listen to Adore more these days. Plus Ava Adore is definitley my favourite Pumpkins song.

# Ooh, and Perfect is ace too
(I only really know the singles from Adore but I recall the last 17 second track being quite moving despite it's shortness)

# Best non-single tracks on Adore
are Daphne Descends (which I think would have made a better second single than Perfect) and For Martha, which is really beautiful.

# *fires up Youtube*
while I'm here, Age of Innocence from Machina would've been an excellent single and Home from Machina II is the definiton of 'soaring'*

*though not officially

# Check out "Behold! The Night Mare" as well
I'll have to check out Machina a bit more. I only know the singles off that.

# I'd say Siamese Dream for the last two 'summer evening' songs
I wish Corgan wouldn't go around calling himself the Smashing Pumpkins now - though ironically the Wedding Present have been going around as just Gedge for years and I have no problem with that... I AM AN INDIE HYPOCRITE.

# True, although
I think the Pumpkins were always just a kind of backing band for him, so I guess it doesn't really matter who else is a member. I'm not familiar with any of the new incarnations music though, so can't comment on their actual goodness.

# yeah, siamese dream is also excellent, but mellon beats it for sheer volume of quality tracks
