Does anyone remember when Smashing Pumpkins were cool?
Score = -5
Yes. Fortunately that has no bearing on the good music they are still making.
Score = -5
you don't even have to remember that far back to remember when he went all bonkers about how this sort of thing was crass commercialism and undermined his blabbitty bla:

Corgan's shiny bald head is getting too much sun.
Score = 3
I know Cadillac went with all alt-rock and tapped Hum for a commercial, so its nit out of the question But Hyundai? Was Kia too high class for you?
Score = -2
Bands have to make money some how these days, more power to em......
Score = 1
yeah, but bands WITHOUT money should have the chance. unless billy spent all his royalties on turtle wax for his head.
Score = 0

Score = -1
"FOL" cool name of new song!!! waiting!!!!!
Score = -1
I, as an actual fan since Gish can say that I used to meditate and cry in my bed about the content of the pumpkins, but now OBVIOUSLY realize unfortunately - that the pumpkins are no longer such. The Smashing Pumpkins have fallen from grace, sad to say folks, but the music SUCKS.
Score = -1
how dare you. The pumpkins are amazing and are still cool. show some respect :)
Score = 1
Just had a preview of the ad yesterday - Corgan's version is very Pumpkininny. There's also a Yo-Yo Ma scored version of the commercial. The spots end with a link to a site where you can make your own cut of "The Epic Lap" - not sure if you can use your own music though...
Score = 1
The song is really good, their best stuff in a long time!
