I'm going to have to stick a "The" in front of the band name for every song, just so it fits in with all my other SP MP3s ;)

I gave up doing that a while back Im now going with 'smashing pumpkins'

My love for you just can't explain

They'll always be "The Smashing Pumpkins" to me :)

I dunno, I've always seen it as a proper name rather than allusion to an object sort of name.

For me it would be saying "The Bright Eyes" or "The Nine Inch Nails"

MCIS is the definitive SP album though, so clearly that's the one we should go off ;)

Smashing Pumpkins sounds better to me but I think it's up to anyone.

"The _______s" implies a band. I see Smashing Pumpkins to be Billy's chosen artistic name. I wouldn't call Sam Beam and his band "The Iron & Wine" because its his work and the name doesn't make sense. Same applies here.

But at one they were going by The Smashing Pumpkins. So it really is up to the listener.

If I'm telling someone, "Yeah, my favorite band is Smashing Pumpkins" that does not sound right, at least to me, so of course I put the "The" in there. Same thing if I refer to them as "The Pumpkins"

That's what I do. But all my mp3's are labeled without the The. I dunno why.

i label them as Smashing Pumpkins for everything, but i agree with dream that it's up to the listener and the The can be used were it fits.

All mine have "The" and if they don't I add it.

Um - Adore, Machina..?

Then again.. Now that I think about it...

They were always 'The Smashing Pumpkins' when they were rich.

So really it was SD who earned them the 'The' and the other albums until Machina were able to maintain it.

It may just be a very very very long time before we ever see The Smashing Pumpkins again...

...And it's odd that you chose to go with my second and third favorite band to prove a point about my favorite band.

Me too.
And as for talking about them, it depends on what I'm saying. I would say "my favourite band used to be The Smashing Pumpkins". But I would say "have you heard that Smashing Pumpkins song" not "have you heard that The Smashing Pumpkins song". But yeah, I'll always think of them as The Smashing Pumpkins.

Re: SMASHING PUMPKINS RECORD CLUB 1 year 8 months ago #96218

so, I was reading this thread and I have to say, that obviously everyone is bored shitless. I mean there is a whole conversation about whether the word "the" should be included in the band name. Who cares really? I am and have been a lifer fan since I was 8 years old back in 1993, but even I have not had this conversation and believe me Ive had some pretty monotonous conversations about the pumpkins. Anyways, it kind of made me laugh. I went to this thread thinking everyone would be talking about records, as in vinyl, not the trivialness of whether they should be calle "the smashing pumpkins" or just "smashing pumpkins" or "the pumpkins" or "Billy Corgan and friends"

However, you guys are all awesome. I just thought Id share my thoughs :)
