Melon Collie and the Infinite Sadness.
Not to mention, Zero, Galapagos, Love, Porcelina of the Oceans Blue, Thirty Three, In the Arms of Sleep, Stumbeline, We Only Come Out at Night and many others.
A grunge/prog rock-esque masterpiece.

No.....
such a hard thing to talk about. I don't think that is the best album of that generation nevermind ever, not in my top 10 for grunge era albums. Maybe not even the Smashing Pumpkins best album as Gish was awesome.
Thanks MasterShake!!!
And you call me a musical baboon?
Let's Rid3!!!!
I could never say there has ever been a best album but there have been several i loved in my lifetime like:
Cradle of filth: Cruelty of the Beast and Vempire.
Amorphis: Tales of a Thousand Lakes.
Pantera: Vulgar Display of Power.
Metallica: Kill em all.
Megadeth: Rust in Peace and Countdown to Extinction.
.....i could prob name a bunch more.
Lmao. Cradle of crap. But no, I enjoy those albums army so no sweat.
If we are talking strictly with SP's than I have to agree with mhc. For me its Siamese dream and gish over Mellon collie quite easily.
Just noticed this thread as I started playing the Mellon Collie Re-issue that just came out. That set is epic. Four Discs and 92 songs including alternate mixes by Flood (one of the best producers in the 90's) and never released demos and songs. The Smashing Pumpkins are easily one of my favorite bands, and Mellon Collie is their best effort overall. They stumbled a bit with Zeitgeist in 2007, but their last album Oceania made it to the Rolling Stones top 50 of the year and is in my top 3 for sure.
Siamese Dream, Mellon Collie, The Downward Spiral by NIN, Stone Temple Pilots Purple, etc. all hit when I was in high school so that automatically puts them in my all time favorites. I really think the music that defines those days is more or less the style you stick with the rest of your life. I am constantly seeking out new music that is similar which is tough, but Silversun Pickups and Arcade Fire are pretty close. I always go back to those albums without getting sick of them though.
I can pretty much enjoy anything Pearl Jam has done.
