Originally posted by RUMMY:I had earlier stated that the album Gish was "dull" and that the track "Starla" (which is essential SP) was a "Disarm" b-side when it was in fact a b-side of "I Am One" which is from Gish. So am will eat my words and say the Gish-era is worth considering if you want to get into Billy Corgan's band. I still find Gish from start to finish a bore.

I think "Siva" is one of the coolest, most essential Pumpkins songs to date.
Originally posted by vanquish:1979 is definitely one of of the great anthems of the 90s - it really captures the whole apathethic gen x teen spiritl - lyrics are much better than similar songs like Smells Like Teen Spirit (which as a song doesn't match up to the hype for me)
Is that pretty much their masterpiece? - to me their other stuff I've listened to doesn't seem to be as good, eg. I like the verses in Tonight, Tonight but the bombastic, unmelodic chorus ruins the song for me.

i had another listen to Gish the other day though, great record.
would you guys recommend Pisces Iscariot? i'm always a bit cautious when it comes to odds and sods collections.
