I pretty much loathe Smashing Pumpkins, but I still consider "Gish" and "Lull" to be fantastic recordings. For me, it was all down hill after that. "Siamese Dream" is pretty good, too. I can usually seperate personality from artistic output whether it be filmmakers, musicians, actors, writers, or whatever, but Billy Corgan is such a douchebag that I can rarely enjoy listening to those early albums.
