Actually didn't like them much as the original band and albums. Saw them twice and then decided that they REALLY sucked. Probably the worst band I saw in the 90's. They were basically shoe-gazers.
However, as an older gent I have been exploring them a bit more now and I really like the off-formula stuff Corgan does occasionally, like Monuments to an Elegy (with Tommy Lee as the drummer and not the original guy), and his solo album, Ogilala (just Corgan, a piano, and an acoustic guitar) - It's quiet awesomeness.

It's weird. Bought and loved Siamese Dream. Played the shit out of it.
Never bought or listened to another thing by them, except whatever came along on radio, etc.

I liked them a lot, but didn't care about a few more recent records. Jimmy C. is a great drummer though.
