1. It's always annoyed me they just randomly changed from Smashing Pumpkins to The Smashing Pumpkins

before Mellon Collie came out. That said, Siamese Dream would probably get my vote as greatest alternative rock album of the 90's even above Superunknown and 10 and Nevermind. I still call them Smashing Pumpkins.

At least Eagles never changed their name from Eagles (as in that's what's on every album cover), despite what people call them. My old concert ticket stubs also say Eagles, not The Eagles.
