Smashing Pumpkins

The Smashing Pumpkins frontman destroyed his health, relationships and almost his life while creating the 1993 album.

The 1993 single marked the first mainstream hit for Billy Corgan's band.

Eclectic lineup also featured Sheryl Crow, Nile Rodgers, Duran Duran and an appearance by Sammy Hagar.

"When it's all said and done, I want the Pumpkins standing on the top of the heap of our generation," bandleader said.

The FBI even had to get involved.

The 33-song "rock opera," which serves as a sequel to two previous albums, will be released in three acts.

A way better decade than most people give it credit for.
