pixelatedboat aka “mr bluesky” @pixelatedboat.bsky.social · 04/02/2025A sad truth we all need to accept is that Smashing Pumpkins were clearly the best of the big-name 90s alt rock groups 6574168137 0
pixelatedboat aka “mr bluesky” @pixelatedboat.bsky.social · 05/02/2025Before you reply to this to suggest a band you think is better, please check: - were they a big name? - were they primarily a 90s band? - were they alt rock? If they weren’t, then don’t reply. If they were, then don’t reply. 263160 0

Aaron Izakowitz @aizak.bsky.social · 04/02/2025Radiohead is better but Smashing Pumpkins is a much, much closer second than they ever get credit for. I have long felt they’re the most underrated band of all time 010 0
joocifer @joocifer.bsky.social · 04/02/2025I once read a rock writer claiming that Stone Temple Pilots' "Interstate Love Song" wasn't just a great song, it was The Best radio song out of the 90s. I began to mock that writer internally but the next time I heard that song I really listened, then I listened on good speakers He might be right. 060 0
