Chicago alt-rock band Smashing Pumpkins third, double album Mellon Collie and the Infinite Sadness hits US#1 & is an international top-10.
Following albums Adore (1998) and Machina/The Machines of God (2000) enjoy a similar success … and the band breaks up.
Among their highest US-Alt chart singles are ‘Disarm’(1994) , ‘Bullet with Butterfly Wings’(1995) , ‘1979’(1996) , ‘Tonight, Tonight’(1996) .
1979 is one of my favorite songs of all time. I felt nostalgia when it first came out and nostalgia listening to it today. Just an amazing tune.
