The Smashing Pumpkins have remained one of my favorite bands over the years so it was a no brainer as to which band to choose for the Rock Band Club. I have been a fan throughout the group's twenty year career. Although Billy Corgan is the only remaining original member of the group the band is still making great new music and is releasing songs for free on their website. So go check out the new stuff. Below I have some links and info about the Mellon Collie and the Infinite Sadness album.

Mellon Collie and the Infinite Sadness is the third album by American alternative rock band The Smashing Pumpkins, released October 24, 1995, on Virgin Records. Produced by Smashing Pumpkins frontman Billy Corgan with Flood and Alan Moulder, the twenty-eight-track album was released as a two-disc CD and triple LP. The album features a wide array of styles, as well as greater musical input from bassist D'arcy Wretzky and second guitarist James Iha.

Led by the single "Bullet with Butterfly Wings", the record debuted at number one on the Billboard charts, the first and only such occurrence for the group. The album spawned four more singles—"1979", "Zero", "Tonight, Tonight", and "Thirty-Three"—over the course of 1996, and has been certified nine times platinum by the RIAA. Praised by critics for its ambition and scope, Mellon Collie and the Infinite Sadness earned the band seven Grammy Award nominations in 1997.

Mellon Collie and the Infinite Sadness was intended as a two-record set. The CD and cassette versions of the album are divided into two discs, entitled Dawn to Dusk and Twilight to Starlight.
