My parents pretty much dislike any music I listen to, apparently it's all satanic and devilworshipping when I don't think they've ever actually sat down and just listening to a Pumpkin song.. Oh well..

Well my mom got me into music. She likes heavier stuff than I do! But, she listens to underground music now, "undiscovered" bands. Which is cool with me. She also got me into Sonic Youth, her favorite band. So I don't worry about that stuff with my mom. Or my dad, although he can be a religious fanatic sometimes...But he doesn't know who I listen to (or things of that nature) so I don't worry about him either. But, if my little brother is around, I try to skip the songs that have certain words or phrases and such (which is more than what mom does, lol)

What Sonic Youth album do you recommend. Ever since I got into the Pumpkins about a month ago, I've been wanting to go deeper into 90s alt rock. Should I get Daydream Nation?

I'm gonna put TOASE on repeat at christmas

I like Daydream Nation, and with that yes. But, I also like Rather Ripped. That's the one I've been listening to lately. You can really go either way.

O My God, My mom doesnt think anymusic is appropriate for me. She likes a few Smashing Pumpkins songs , like to shelia, MCIS, Landslide, + if there is a god (Piano/ Vox). My Computer backround was a picture of the smashing pumpkins, and she saw billy with makeup on and she said, Are these Smashin Pumpkins appropriate for you??/ so i said yes mom. Onetime we were listening to Pink floyd's "Hey You" and when they said naked she said, turn this off but i am like NO!!!! Also i showed her BWBW and since it was a rather heavy song, she said, this is innopropriate!!! But i showed her it wasnt.

Seeing as I'm twelve and I come from a Christian family and my dad got me into the pumpkins, i guess they're ok but you might want to marker out one certain song title if you happen to buy siamese dream

That's funny because I read the back of Siamese Dream for the first time when I was five and Mom never did anything like that, heh. And I appreciate it now that I cuss all the time! (just kidding, of course...or am I?)

i actualy think that goo is their best.

and in response to the forum topic, yes, i think the pumpkins are family friendly, people before were saying that you shouldnt listen to songs like zero because of christian parents, well im a pretty strong christian myself and it doesnt offend me, because i understand what billy truly meant, you just have to explain what he truly meant to you family. Billy is a christian himself (maybe in his own way but still....), so i think that it would be hard for it not to be family friendly if they truly understood the meaning of the pumpkins.

sure...
my dream is to see all my family united in christmas sitted in front of my radio while hearing zero


ROFLMAO

omgosh, were is corgan street?

My dad listened to a lot of the pumpkins back in 91 when I was about 6 or 7 and I always liked what I heard and then in 93 I remember him playing siamese dream and it was halloween and we were carving pumpkins and he kept saying "Smashing Pumpkins" I didnt get it at the time, but looking back it was pretty funny. My family is very into music so there was never any issues about the whole appropriate thing. I feel bad for kids that have to deal with that. Thants a bummer.

cool, i wish my dad listened to the pumpkins, then he would be more relaxed, l.o.l

XYU isnt family friendly. day dream wouldnt really. disarm is about billy's childhood so 'cut that little child' should be taken literally, its to do with emotions i think.

ahhh! i mean SHOULDNT be taken literally. SHOULDNT!

my dad doesnt listen to anything but opera, but my mum and my stepmum really like the pumpkins, im always sending them mixed tapes. most of my original tastes in music stemmed from them so its sorta funny that its the other way around now im older

I would say the majority of Smashing Pumpkins songs can be considered family friendly, while others might make you want to slit your wrists and die a whore.

Whooaaa Murder, I've never seen this side of you...Die A Whore??? That's Pretty Harsh bro.
