The Pumpkins are great, but they are basically all I've listened to consitantly for years.  I need something else to fill my brain with.  You guys know the Pumpkins, so you have an idea of my sensibilities.  Point me in the right direction.

I really don't know, I've heard a lot of people call some bands "Smashing Pumpkins-esque" but nothing really clicks

It depends on what side of the Pumpkins sound you're more into, I guess... I mean you can love all their stuff, but I know I for one generally prefer the more mellow, sweet side - although they have obviously written some superb hard rock too (for some reason though it's only on Melon Collie where I consistently enjoy the rockier tracks).

If you like the rockier side, then I guess you could tip over into metal like the Deftones or something, if the more mellow stuff floats your anchor then maybe Bright Eyes (wonderful wonderful band) or something similar...

I don't know though: I generally don't like the stuff that gets compared to them, so it's all very personal.

Quote from: mogwaiTeddy, do you really need to start another thread about the Pumpkins?  Cheers.

To quote your signature, Mogwai, "Yes".  This is a completely different question and it's not specifically concerning the Pumpkins.  Plus, concidering the title of my last thread, I doubt I'd get people actually answering my question, but people just talking about how much they love the Pumpkins.  To get an answer to my question on the other thread would require everyone to read that particular post and then respond.

I'm sorry if this thread is to Pumpkins for you, but I need an answer to my question.

If you don't yet have NewOrderGetReady, you'll want to pick that up. New Order were apparently a huge influence on Corgan, given his very obvious presence on this album (he plays guitar and virtually duets on a couple of the tunes).

"Lacan stressed more and more in his work the power and organizing principle of the symbolic, understood as the networks, social, cultural, and linguistic, into which a child is born. These precede the birth of a child, which is why Lacan can say that language is there from before the actual moment of birth. It is there in the social structures which are at play in the family and, of course, in the ideals, goals, and histories of the parents. This world of language can hardly be grasped by the newborn and yet it will act on the whole of the child's existence."

"Tastes like burning" was my reaction when I first drank tequila but that's another story
