GREATEST HITS contains 2 previously unreleased tracks. A bonus disc entitled JUDAS O RILEY containing B-sides and rarities will be included in this package for a limited time only upon initial release.

Throughout the '90s, The Smashing Pumpkins used a mixture of prog-rock, dream-pop, psychedelia and heavy metal to drag the emerging alt-rock movement kicking and screaming into the mainstream. GREATEST HITS puts these fine finest moments on display along with a pair of previously unreleased cuts. Billy Corgan's brilliant leadership mixed angst-ridden lyrics with the kind of interplay with fellow guitarist James Iha that found the duo using different shadings of distortion the way artists use paint. Opening with the controlled chaos of "Siva," the chronological path makes pit-stops at the awesome power of "Cherub Rock," sweet optimism of "Today," lush beauty of "Tonight, Tonight" and electronica shadings of "Ava Adore." Along the way, Corgan's sentimental side found him embracing Fleetwood Mac's bittersweet "Landslide" and coming up with his own brilliant pop moments like "1979" and "Bullet With Butterfly Wings."

The Limited Edition version features a second disc entitled JUDAS O, a collection of B-sides and outtakes that serves as a companion to the 1994 B-sides collection PISCES ISCARIOT. Key cuts on this bonus CD include the rumbling ruminations of "Set The Ray To Jerry" and shimmering heaviness of the previously unreleased "Slow Dawn."

GREATEST HITS contains 2 previously unreleased tracks.

5 stars AWESOME!!!
I bought this because I really liked 1979 and Tonight Tonight. So I listened to the whole album after I got it and was shocked!!! I loved a lot of the songs on there!! Some of the rockin' songs like Bullet with Butterfly Wings, Everlasting Glaze, Siva, and Zero are awesome to listen to. And then there's the beautifully written songs Rhinosercous, Cherub Rock, Drown, 1979 and Stand Inside Your Love. I think those songs stand out more because they just make me feel happy and think about life and the good times. Great CD! I'm a pumpkins fan now!

5 stars Rotten Apples!!!
Not THE greatest band of the '90s, NIRVANA deserves that distinction, but the 'PUMPKINS are definately ONE OF the greatest bands of the '90s. GREATEST HITS: ROTTEN APPLES, is vital to MY tape collection, and I imagine, to the music collections of many other people. I especially enjoyed their cover of Fleetwood Mac's "Landslide." I didn't purchase this tape from CD Universe. I've had it for several years, actually, but it's just a great album and I wanted to toss in my two cents worth of opinion.

5 stars One of the best bands ever
This compilation of songs puts me in a mood I cannot describe. I wish I could put into words how great this band is. There are rumors flying around that they are going to get back together but w/o D'Arcy and possibly Melissa Auf Der Maur would play bass. I just would like to see them live again

5 stars amazing, but too many great songs left out
in my opinion the greatest hits album for the smashing pumpkins should have about the same no. of songs as mellon collie. Where is soma, muzzle, hummer, i am one, where boys fear to tread, i of the mourning, the sacred and profane, etc.? nonetheless amazing
