I love this one but am always partial to Tyler on that album. I caught them back sometime around 1996 opening for White Zombie and left even more impressed than before with them. That was such an under rated record.
however this is the defining song of the 90's....and our generation.....and any generation for that matter. this is the defining song of all time. it defines EVERYTHING:

I think 1979 is a great song, but I do not think it cracks the top 10 of the greatest songs of the 90's.
Neither do I. There were a lot of great songs in the 90s though.
the pumpkins had quite a few 90's classic songs
Yeah, so did a lot of bands. I don't think anyone is arguing the the SPs weren't one of the top bands of the 90s. I don't even know how the "top 10 songs of the 90s " thing factors in, lol. That lost is different for everyone.

Speaking competitively, Smashing Pumpkins has put out two great albums (Gish and Siamese Dream). But for Billy Corgan to position his band (which is not really a band since it was always all about him) somehow in the same realm as Nirvana is a joke. Give me a fucking break dude -- you will never be at the level. Nirvana changed the game. SP did not. So just stop.
And for him to somehow say Pearl Jam doesn't have "the songs" compared to SP-- again what a joke. Let's break the news to you, the reason why Pearl Jam sells out arenas (and SP hasn't since the 90s) is exactly because Pearl Jam has the songs. Ten, VS., Vitalogy, No Code, Yield -- this is PJ's catalogue just in the 90s and SP cannot touch it. Nope -- never.
Oh and the other reason PJ's sell out arenas is because they are phenomenal live... I've seen them 20 times and I hope to see them 20 more. The last two times I saw SP live (in 1994 in NYC and 1996 in SF) they sucked -- a complete train wreck.
Quality sells. Shit doesn't.
On a final note, even with Eddie Vedder's voice in a lesser state these days, Billy Corgan's voice will never, ever touch Eddie Vedder's. Another reason why SP/BC are not as good as Pearl Jam: They have more natural talent where it counts.
With that, Gish was great. Same for Siamese Dream. Beyond that -- SP is boring as shit (other than "1979").

haha....talk about not having a sense of humor. jeezus christmas.
I have a great sense of humor. And I'm not being sensitive. Your comment just wasn't funny.
aw, darn it.
and here, i thought it was really really funny. you certainly seem like you have a great sense of humor, though. it's like the best sense of humor i've ever seen.

Please don't tag this song as a song of my generation. It is not. What a horrible song this is!!
it is the defining song of your life.
What a stupid thing to say.
i finally got a chance to watch the video. I didn't realize it was the Hey Jealousy by the Gin Blossoms by looking at the still. That song kicks ass!! I don't care what you think of the band. The song is timeless, a true classic!!
BTW, one of the worst covers ever: Billy's version of Landslide. Have the respect to leave that song alone if you don't have the voice for it
This is why music is so subjective...i think Billy's version is FAR better than Stevie Nicks! I even covered Billy's version at our school talent show...

I love Willy's (He doesnt want to be Billy and William sounds too refined for him) version of Landslide. I dont ever want to hear it live from him but the studio version is wonderful.
