Smashing Pumpkins

The Smashing Pumpkins' debut established the foursome as the pre-eminent college radio band of the early '90s, upping the bar for the rest of the decade. Not all of the songs on Gish work, but some of the band's finest moments ("Siva," "Crush," "Rhinoceros") are found here -- reason to add it to your collection.

If you can dig art-rock fantasia--and hey, why not?--this has a nice witchy wail to it ("Rhinoceros") (Grade - *)
