On the topic of Smashing Pumpkins, the only song I have by them is "Bullet with Butterfly Wings". I love it and I want some more. What do you guys suggest?

No offense, but I just hate U2 too much to compare them to the Beatles. I don't think DMB is mainstream enough to be compared to the Stones. Although they are very popular (largely with college kids) they don't get very much attention on radio or tv. Where do the Smashing Pumpkins fit into this?

For the Doors to Soundgarden, I was thinking that both bands were never on top although they were probably the most talented band at the time. For the Stones to Pearl Jam, I was thinking that both were right behind the Beatles/Nirvana, but just never reached #1. Also, both bands seemed to be a little heavier than their counterparts.

Hey, this is my first post. I'm a 16 year old drummer/pianist. I listen to classic rock for the most part although I listen to some jazz, hip hop, or anything really. A good song is a good song in my eyees. Anyway, here's my question. I was thinking about bands of the 60's vs bands of the 90's in terms of their role in popular music. Here's my analogy: Beatles = Nirvana Rolling Stones = Pearl Jam The Doors = Soundgarden Do you agree? Feel free to add on to the analogy.
