Didn't even think to check the date on this one. I see now that not only was "Oh You're So Quiet Jens" a compilation, it was released in 2005. Late on both counts.

they would believe you and they would love it.

Except the dude from Silversun Pickups doesn't have Corgan's grating whiny yelp.

true, but he has the same style. hes like a refined Corgan. so one could conclude that Corgan just finally got some singing lessons ;)
