Here's a question for the Pumpkin fans in this thread:
Which other album(s) should I check out that sound similar to Mellon Collie? I listend to that album a lot in high school.

Nothing is really similar to Mellon Collie, All the albums are different from each other. But if you are looking for the 'classic' pumpkins sound. Siamese Dream?

Iha Definitely Out for Pumpkins Reunion
from pitchforkmedia:
Speaking to RollingStone.com's Rock & Roll Daily blog today, NYC man-about-town and label honcho James Iha revealed that he will most certainly not be a factor in the recently announced Smashing Pumpkins reunion hysteria.
"I'm not part of the current Smashing Pumpkins album or tour," claimed Iha. "I haven't spoken to Billy [Corgan] in years."

He did The Bells, Said Sadly, the Boy, Believe (all on the superb TAFH boxset), Summer (Adore B-Side), and Go, which was on Machina II.

Maybe Billy Corgan is being all secretive with the CD because it is in fact 60 minutes of him singing and farting ala "Hollywood Knights".

I imagine this will leak relativley early. Probably May. Mr.Corgan has a habit of wanting his stuff out there as soon as it's pressed (ala TheFutureEmbrace & Mary Star Of The Sea leaks).

'Be Strong Now' is pretty good.......it's got a nice singer songwriter ish vibe on it.....the b-side called 'My Advice' is probably the best non SP James track out there.....'Blew Away' from Pisces Iscariot is his best (and a totally underrated SP song).

Local Chicago station (Q101) reported that the single should be available by the end of the month or 1st week of May! Here's to hoping it's accurate.

Smashing Pumpkins Settle On 'Zeitgeist' Track List
The Smashing Pumpkins have settled on the track list for "Zeitgeist," the first album since 2000. As previously reported, the album is due July 7 via Martha's Music/Reprise. A first single has yet to be specified, nor has the makeup of the band beyond original frontman Billy Corgan and drummer Jimmy Chamberlin.
"Is everyone afraid? Has everyone changed?," Corgan sings on opener "Doomsday Clock," a big, loud rocker in the vein of "Geek U.S.A." from "Siamese Dream." The set is frontloaded with songs of this ilk, hearkening back to the grunge era with detuned guitars and pounding drums on tracks such as "Tarantula," "Orchid" and "7 Shades of Black."
A more nuanced, less abrasive approach is evident on "Never Lost," which has vibraphone and organ tucked into the mix, while "For God and Country" is a bass-driven tune with shades of Depeche Mode-style synth-rock. The album closes with the mostly synth-powered "Pomp and Circumstance," as Corgan's multi-tracked vocals take on an angelic effect.
The band will play its first show in six-and-a-half years May 22 at the Grand Rex Theatre in Paris. European festival appearances will follow through mid-June; the Pumpkins' first U.S. show will be July 7 at the Live Earth concert in East Rutherford, N.J.
Here is the track list for "Zeitgeist":
"Doomsday Clock"
"7 Shades of Black"
"Orchid"
"That's the Way"
"Tarantula"
"Starz"
"United States"
"Never Lost"
"Bring the Light"
"Come On (Let's Go)"
"For God and Country"
"Pomp and Circumstance"

Why would Billboard do that? I was under the impression that these people actually listen to some of the music before comparing it to other pumpkin songs.
