  Episode #111

  Mellon Collie and the Infinite Sadness | ULTIMATE TEIR LIST | Smashing Pumpkins

  Sep 29, 20261h 17m

  StereoRuss and longtime friend Ian Butcher take on the massive 28 song Mellon Collie and the Infinite Sadness, ranking every track across four categories: poppy, dreamy, groovy, and raging. They get into the album’s ambitious place in the mid ’90s, its production, Jimmy Chamberlain’s drumming, Billy Corgan’s polarizing vocals, and the songs that have held up (or grown more complicated) with age. Expect strong disagreements, some surprising rankings, and a lot of love for one of the Smashing Pumpkins’ most ambitious records.
