meat beat manifesto did it better

this is the only tolerable smashing pumpkins song and it is pretty.

hater

what about "disarm"???

"what i choose is my choice"

billy corgan is such a douche

You guys who like "1979" would probably like "Appels + Oranjes" off Adore. It's even prettier.

yeah, well it IS his choice you big DUMMY

My SP love has decreased significantly since middle school but they're still one of the few tolerable rock bands from the '90s.

Billy Corgan's voice seriously went from bad to worse tho. He used to be able to make it sound pretty on songs like "Obscured." Then he got "voice lessons" and started singing in that ridiculous drawl.

mellon collie + the blowfish

great, ethan, look what you started.

this is how jack dangers sings it:

It's a crime

I'm stuck in 1979
I'm stuck in 79
It's a crime
It's so sublime

oooh aaaah

also it is like an uptempo dubby thing

secret weapon of this tune = the hi-hat accents

jimmy chamberlin >>>> billy corgan

Tom, no one is going to trust you about MBM's version being any good. Give it up.

yeah, cool kids never have the time.

????

this is my birthday song! its the year of my birth AND my name is in the lyrics. and i was an obsessive fan in highschool. i'm still a huge fan, but in a more of sentimental sense, since billy corgan has completely gone off the deep end.

he was used to be so much cooler when he was just an asshole. now's a religious fanatic and an asshole.

also: 'rhinoceros'

good song

max correct; disarm is superior

not interested in songs u crumbs think are better than 1979

this video was so good one time when i was coming down off acidz

i love this song (see chaki i love some things)

not better than 1979:

one of top 3 most likable SP singles, for sure, except: when this was popular, my college radio station would keep playing some pre-existing New Order pastiche song by some random midwestern indie band that was "1979," completely and totally

(I say "random band" from memory, though for all I know it's some medium-sized name I just hadn't heard of at the time)

great bridge on this song!

i loved sp as a teenager but let's face it they are awful!

awesome song
heard it for the first time in forever a few days ago too

I did a double take on the Marcy Playground guy thinkin it was Agent Dale Cooper

"I want pie and ... and coff-ee-ee"

fyi you can see a young me as a mudperson in the Bullet with Butterfly Wings video.

this is basically the SP song that people who normally hate SP can like. I think we've proven that. I'm just chiming in to agree.

Still would rather listen to MBM though

chaki are you for realz??

brmc

are you Chino Moreno stunt double?

Best drum beat I heard on the radio the whole time I was in high school.

lol carne. no it was filmed next to my high school so we all ditched and showed up to be xtras.

"The video for "Hexagram," by The Deftones was filmed with fans watching the band play the song in an indoor skatepark in Simi Valley."

I guess 1979 was filmed there too!

I'm a modern day Suzy!

blastocyst what 90s rock am I missing out on? I really never clued into a lot of it

you are missing out on the cherry poppin daddies

MC 900 foot jesus

consolidated

I'm a modern day Suzy!

Hahah :D

MANDEE OTM

i had a consolidated album! i'd forgotten about that. it was during my very brief *coughs* "political" *coughs* stage as a teen. their songs would be pretty hilarious to listen to now.

oh ffs. :-( i'm going to have nightmares now

don't want to derail thread but the huge genre of rock n' roll did very well in the '90s. i know the band primus is very popular here, for example.

[major x-post]

is blastocyst from the future?

The only thing I remember about Consolidated is the song that went:

RU 486?
YES I AM!

the only thing i remember about consolidated is the song that went:

i know you think it's a real drag
to suck my cunt when I'm on the rag
