I love SP and Siamese Dream is legit one of my favourite albums but everytime I watch a video of him sing live he's fucking terrible. There I said it.

Don't hate me.

I've never liked his singing and I don't understand why people do.

I really like the band but his voice is definitely jarring and grating sometimes, and is something you just have to adjust to, moreso than with Bob Dylan or Geddy Lee.

It's not even weird in a good way, it's just...bad.

I like him on some songs more than others, like:

He is but I dont think anyone ever says otherwise. No one really holds him up there as one of the best vocalists. His voice lends well to the type of music they make and as a collective the band is great.

Him and Gavin Rossdale have the worst sounding voices Ive ever heard.

Corgan takes the cake though. Like he smoked a carton a day since birth, has a clothespin on his nose, and is mocking people singing.

Most 90s alternative singers were pretty terrible tbh

Yeah he is, but he has a distinctive and memorable voice and sometimes that's more important than being able to sing conventionally well

Ive been a pretty avid Smashing Pumpkins hater for like 20 years now, and this isnt trying to draw any comparisons, but I mean, Mick Jagger is a terrible singer too, hes a vocalist.

I do gotta say, I watched a few things last year, and Billy can actually play some guitar.

Yeah, Pearl jam, Soundgarden and silver chair had the best vocals...as well as stone temple pilots in my eyes, I know most don't like weilands voice but I thought he was great. As for the topic at hand, Billy Corgan was so/so. I'm not really a fan of them outside of two songs. Cherub rock is a jam.

I really enjoyed his voice on his acoustic cover of Iron Maiden's Number of the Beast.
