If "Not giving a shit about any of it" from a "I haven't listened to it except in my occasional 'let's see if this has gotten any better with age' file counts, which also includes such terrible drinking games as Peter Frampton and Kiss, sure,

Nah, I'm not a big fan of Gish either.

Thirded. I liked siamese dream and melon collie much more.

Speaking of things that were cool in the 90's, every time I see Jeff-7's name I always, always, think of L-7

For those who care so little about Gish and/or don't like it, what was the first Pumpkin album you heard?

No idea, circa '90 in Chicago.

when "Today" was running on MTV, what was that, 93?

the thing that bothered me about the Pumpkins other than what they did was that they were touted as "psychedelic" which then just were not.

Yea, they were marketed as that because it was the local music scene's "thing" at the time, the whole hippie thrift store thing was in vogue then too.

We used to point and laugh at the band if they were playing somewhere that a friend's band was opening during the early 90s. It was the era's equivalent of hipster shit. Never gotten the Pumpkins at all.

Always felt the same way and I'm from australia. I get being into them for nostalgia reasons. But my own experience of it as a kid was like 'this sucks, this is a shitty version of bands I haven't heard yet but I know there's something out there that does this way better'. Also I liked the Melvins more than Nirvana so basically I was insufferable as a 13 year old.

I like Gish, I just like the other albums more.

First Pumpkins album I heard was Mellon Collie back in 2009 as a freshman in high school. I had liked "Bullet with Butterfly Wings" a lot, so I seeked the album out to hear more. Loved it, still my favorite pumpkins album.

futuresailors disliked the pumpkins before it was cool.

The first Pumpkins album I ever listened to start to finish was Machina I.

No love for Pisces Iscariote? That phaser on the intro to Frail and Bedazzled gives me such bonarz.
