I recently stumbled upon this clip, this band is very strange to me. Do you like them? What do you think about the vocals and their overall sound?

I honestly never liked them at all.... He sings as if he is asleep. We have the same haircut but besides that I don't rate them. Each to their own though

I like only certain songs, such as bullet with butterfly wings, tonight, etc.

I've always quite liked them!

I am certainly not their biggest fan however I do enjoy some of their music even though I always found Billy Corgan a bit pretentious. But he's a Rush fan so he can't be all bad

this would be my favourite by them

I understand what you feel because I felt the same when they first appeared but after maybe 10 years I started to like them a lot.

I've been listening to them them for quite some time now, but they never appealed to me that much (although some ideas are quite good), so wanted others opinions too

I always liked them. I grew up listening to them, though. I am only 20 after all!

I thought we were going to talk about smashing real-grown pumpkins. I was gonna say, well, if you clean it up I don't see a problem.

Awful performance and sound.

I liked them since the early nineties, and I don't think I have ever heard an album so diverse as Mellon collie... that is still so awesome.

This is another great song and video... the guitar tones are always really good and original.
