8 Smashing Pumpkins Covers That Still Hit Hard

Few bands have left as deep a scar on the alternative, emo, and pop-punk space as The Smashing Pumpkins have. Through frontman Billy Corgan’s uniquely gruff vocal snarl, melancholic grandeur, and wall-of-distortion, they’ve shaped not only the ‘90s alt-rock space but have embedded their DNA into the next two decades of rock music.
