    What?! (Score:0)
    Why are legendary bands contributing to the distinctly ordinary Pumpkins' tribute album? Is this a joke!

    Ok, they have some lovely songs - such as 1979, ironically inspired by New Order. But Billy Corgan is a nasty cunt (and a bloody ugly one at that). His voice sucks, but some of the songs were good.

    It's really weird that half of the bands they were inspired by - Depeche Mode, The Cure, the usual British bands Americans seem to love are on here. Freaky!

      Nick Cave with Orbital?! Yeah, right! A song called Beautiful by Missy "Messy rear" Elephant of all people - the dirty fat dyke! Another called Ugly by Chris Cornell?! And Tricky hates Portishead - arch enemies of the Bristol scene!

          It's a shame that this tribute album is a hoax. I would really have liked to have heard some of those artists covering smashing pumpkins songs.
