The Chris Isaak Hour

The Smashing Pumpkins (1x6)

Air date: Apr 02, 2009

This Chicago quartet wooed audiences with a wholly new style, a sweeping, melodic sound that combined ponderous lyrics with progressive rock, heavy metal, and electronica. Although the band seemed caught between widespread appeal and prickly artiness, Smashing Pumpkins became a respected industry mainstay and earned two Grammy Awards.
