One day when I was 3-5 years old (basically before I really started getting into music when I got my first CDs at 6), my dad was playing some Alice in Chains. Later that night, he was hanging out with his friends and I was with them when they were trying to figure out what album to put on. I wanted to listen to Alice in Chains again but couldn't remember what their name was, so I asked him if he could play the band with the yucky voices. He had no idea what the **** I was talking about and said "Smashing Pumpkins?" and I was like I don't know dude but I don't think so. He couldn't figure it out so he played Gish (I only know that because it was the only Pumpkins album he had for years) and that's when I learned to start asking for the band name when I liked the music and to start hating Smashing Pumpkins.
