Default Billy Corgan says Smashing Pumpkins still better than Pearl Jam and Foo Fighters

Quote:
Billy Corgan is still the ultimate '90s alternative-rock god, according to Billy Corgan.



During a new interview on "The Howard Stern Show," the Smashing Pumpkins frontman blasted musical counterparts Pearl Jam and Foo Fighters. In Corgan's eyes, both are inferior to Nirvana and his own band.



"I know [Pearl Jam] have a tremendous fan base, and they should," Corgan said of the group, whom he called "derivative." "They're a great band, but I'm a Beatles guy, I'm a Stones guy, I'm a Kinks guy. To me a lot of other bands don't have the work. [...] I think if you stack my songs up, Cobain's songs up, and that band's songs, they just don’t have the songs. They're a great band. They're still an arena act. They've gotten it done for a long time; I have to bow to that. That's a mystery to me, because I don't get it."
