I miss the contrasts between soft and heavy the '90s rock had...Smashing Pumpkins had a sweet sound but surprisingly no vocal variance which is bad when they feel unfitting. Meat Puppets, Blind Melon, Live, etc. are all better than the radio music of today (except for some bands like Breaking Benjamin.)
The thing that's cool about 90's bands is the variety of subjects they would cover. It sort of reminds me of the late 60's and 1970's when not everything was about trite, romantic themes and people covered more varied subject matter. Plus, bands like Smashing Pumpkins were not afraid to experiment with different sounds and textures than are typical to popular music.
As far as the vocals go, Corgan has more range than most of the singers that are popular on the hard rock stations of today. Some of the vocals can be sad, some angry, and sometimes he switches between the two. Nothing they ever did was happy, perhaps a good part of the reason I like them. I have always thought artistic expression never reaches it's full flower until it is melancholy. The emotion is more raw and honest that way.
