Such an overrated song. Even when I was too young and nervous to call the band out I secretly never understood what all the fuss was over that song. It just sounds like their attempt to rip off Nirvana. They've had a few songs I dig, but "Zero" is easily their best.

I was responding to someone calling them one of the best big alternative bands. Considering how few actually big, legitimately alternative bands there have been over the years it's a relatively small pool of bands, and Smashing Pumpkins are definitely one of my least favorite.
