Rat in a Cage by Smashing Pumpkins

And would I be correct in saying Kool Thing by Sonic Youth?

I agree that's an awful song with some of the worst lyrics in the history of rock music, but I don't think that's the Smashing Pumpkins' most well known song by any stretch.

My bad <.< It's the only Pumpkins song I had heard when I was a kid.

Incorrect. Not only is it not a bad song but it is certainly not their best known. No Sonic Youth songs would qualify for this thread in my view

I'd say it's up there with 1979 for popularity. Shame it isn't up there for quality though.

Hmmm. Maybe. But I'd say "Today" and "Disarm" were bigger songs.

It was on Guitar Hero though, its either going to be that or their cover of Superstar.

Something I want to point out thats only mildly related.

The first page has Jospahines (who?) signature as saying

"Urban for Euromod"

Remember when the Brits felt maligned? This place has gone to hell.
