Whitney Houston

Billy Corgan is perhaps the greatest frontman lead guitarist of my generation and an excellent songwriter as well, but sometimes you need to take one step back in order to take two steps forward and I think that is currently where Corgan is at artistically.

And you need to take one step back from that crack-pipe with comments like that.

His early work was a little too New Wave for my
 taste. But then Mellon Collie and the infinite sadness came out in 1995, I think he really
 came into his own, commercially and artistically.

What does this have to do with Whitney Houston?
 
 I think Corgan is working on writing the new Pumpkins album, and sometime in the Spring he's going to just "pop" out of nowhere with a band like he did with Zwan (when they played their first show, they already had 40-50 songs tracked).
 
 As for his creativity, I think obviously it's not where it was, but then again most artists put out their definitive work before the age of 30, in my experience. Alot of unreleased Zwan stuff sounded like SP, but he left it off albums because he was trying to do something "different." It'll be interesting to see where the next release goes anyway.

It all went downhill from Gish.

In 1993, Corgan released this, Siamese Dream, his most
 accomplished album. I think I his undisputed masterpiece is
 "today," a song so catchy that most people probably
 don't listen to the lyrics. But they should because it's not
 just about the pleasures of conformity and the importance of
 trends. It's also a personal statement about the band itself.
 
 The whole album has a clear, crisp sound and a new sheen of
 consummate professionalism that gives the songs a big boost.

Despite all his rage, he's still just a rat in a cage!  :roll:

Emily Saliers and Amy Ray put on the most fun show I have been to in quite a while. They are consummate musicians and their perfectly complementing vocals were in top form, of course, but it was the extremely enthusiastic and knowledgeable audience (who predominantly seemed to know every word to every song in the Indigo Girls repertoire) which elevated the show for me. My love affair with Indigo Girls is renewed.

Anyone who doubts the genius of a man who can write a pop gem like 1979 at a mere 12 years of age is foolhardy!

As usual, I'm the oddball here as I kind of like some his new work. Can't say that I like everything on it but there is some good guitar work in there. I'm not in love with any of the songs but I was suprised to find myself liking a few of them.
 
 With that said, I can't stand anything ever released by The Smashing Pumpkins, Zwan, nor any other solo Billy Corgan. I do love the work that he did with New Order though.
 
 Oh, and Whitney Houston sucks blow!
