The smashing pumpkins are the band that got me into music! I was in sixth grade when I got Mellon collie. 

I just remember having a the joy of listening to what I thought was the most bad ass album! Soft and beautiful meets rock! How does this exist so perfectly? Just an amazing sound. Through and through!

I would put my headphones on and play both albums start to finish, n64 just came out so I would play mc on repeat while I played at time best graphics video game.  

I’m sure their are way cooler memories or stories. But the smashing pumpkins Mellon collie was my first rock album and the reason I got into music. I’m forever grateful for that! Will always be one of my all time favorite albums!
