One of the most influential alternative rock bands of the 1990s, Smashing Pumpkins garnered critical acclaim as they achieved commercial success over the course of several excellent albums—including Gish, Siamese Dream and Mellon Collie and the Infinite Sadness. The Chicago-based group, led by guitarist Billy Corgan, ended its first run in 2000, but last year Corgan and two of the three founding members (guitarist James Iha and drummer Jimmy Chamberlin) reunited to release a 10th Smashing Pumpkins album, Shiny and Oh So Bright, Vol. 1 / LP: No Past. No Future. No Sun last November.
