Sharon Osborne has one of the best lines about him. She used to be the pumpkins manager and she left them. When asked why she said, "I am no longer managing the Smashing Pumpkins due to illness. I am sick and tired of Billy Corgan's shit."

Even though Corgan is an ass, that sound he created was made for me. That shit was MY music. I loved those low, crunchy, Sabbath-like chords.
When they started experimenting with Electronica too much, I had to jump ship.
I'm always in search of some bands that sound like early Pumpkins. HUM is a good one, but Silversun Pickups are filling the void nicely.
