hahahaha, the smashing pumpkins are far from the most popular band in mainsteam music in the US. i would say they are one of the more popular alternative bands. indie and alternative no longer mean 'non mainstream' as they both have destinct sounds associated with them. are you gonna tell me that the shins arent indie just becasue they can actaully sell albums to the masses?
can someone PM me a link to Viva La Vida?
