But two albums were released after the album with No Rain (although one was posthumously, but still amazing). They weren't getting the credit they deserved when Hoon was alive, let alone after the 90s. To me they are a solid band that holds up well 20 years later. Very few lame songs, particularly compared to Pumpkins, Foo Fighters and Pearl Jam (again, IMO).

As far as the Smashing Pumpkins goes, I find their music has not aged well at all. Even songs I used to like gets harder and harder to listen to. Pearl Jam and the Foo Fighters have aged better, imnsho.

That's the thing, they were better than the one-hit status they have. Soup and Nico were their best albums. I'd post some songs, but I'm kind of short on time. If you have a chance, listen to them both.
