See... this is the mentality that I don't understand. Do you actually like bands you listened to back then or do you just listen to them for nostalgic value? When I was in junior high I pretty much listened to nothing but Korn, Limp Bizkit, and Eminem and the thought of listening to those bands for any reason gives me reactions ranging from nap time to puke time. I listened to a fair amount of stuff in high school I think sucks now too. I mean, do you really have to listen to something just because you listened to it when you were younger? There are other bands I feel helped shape my music tastes today that I just can't get into as much or even at all anymore. Maybe I'm just an ungrateful bastard...

You listened to that stuff like I listened to Green Day. Green Day for me now is def a nostalgic thing.

Siamese Dream has over 30 guitar parts on it. Billy Corgan wrote that entire album and played, to the best of my knowledge, every part on it (except the drums). It was during a period where he was a complete control freak and went down to every knob turn in the mixing and dictated how it should go. That album will definitely have books about it once everyone stops writing about Nirvana at some point this century.

That said, it's a night-and-day difference. Korn, Limp Bizkit, and Eminem are what's refered to categorically as "hitmakers". They, debatebly, exist to simply chart (not counting the first Korn record which was actually awesome). Smashing Pumpkins spent a long time as a labor of love in an era when Sonic Youth, Nirvana, and more "artisically" sound bands were making record labels think it was ok to dump money and bands that would craft their music. In the end, it never paid as much as Britney Spears or Michael Jackson, but it was a bit of an experiment.

I don't know if that answers your question, but maybe it gives you some info you didn't know.
