Two bands stick out in my memory as acts whose songs felt channeled and not simply performed: The Beatles and The Smashing Pumpkins. To this day (even with my own Billy Corgan model Reverend guitar), I think of “BWBW,” “1979,” “Zero,” “Tonight, Tonight,” and the ethereal “Thirty-Three” as transcendent singles that the Pumpkins revealed to the world. “Tonight, Tonight” still moves me to great emotions–happiness, melancholia, surprise, peace, and of course love. Long may MCIS reign as a crowning achievement of 90s music!
