I had been listening to SP since my freshman year of high school, but I went to their reunion concert in the summer of 2018 and bought the Mellon Collie vinyl box. Every day after that i would loop it CONSTANTLY on our record player while looking at the pictures and artwork from the box, which completely transported me to another world it seemed. Jimmy’s drumming mixed with the harmonies and melodies and overall vibe of the whole album gave m a newe appreciation for music and for SP themselves. I constantly write songs and always use inspiration from SP, and mellon collie specifically, to use as the root of all of them. Thank you guys!
