William Patrick "Billy" Corgan Jr. (born March 17, 1967) is an American musician, songwriter, producer, poet, and entrepreneur.
 He is best known as the lead singer, primary songwriter, guitarist, and sole permanent member of The Smashing Pumpkins.
 Formed by Corgan and guitarist James Iha in Chicago, Illinois, in 1988, the band quickly gained steam with the addition of bassist D'arcy Wretzky and drummer Jimmy Chamberlin.
 Strong album sales and large-scale tours propelled the band's increasing fame in the 1990s until their break-up in 2000.
 Corgan started a new band called Zwan, and after their quick demise, he released a solo album ("TheFutureEmbrace") and a collection of poetry ("Blinking with Fists") before setting his sights on reforming Smashing Pumpkins.
Jimmy Chamberlin
James Joseph Chamberlin (born June 10, 1964) is an American drummer and record producer.

1979 (song)
"1979" is a song by American alternative rock band the Smashing Pumpkins.
 Released in 1996 as the second single from their third studio album, "Mellon Collie and the Infinite Sadness", "1979" was written by frontman Billy Corgan, and features loops and samples that were uncharacteristic of previous Smashing Pumpkins songs.
 The song was written as a coming of age story by Corgan.
 In the year 1979, Corgan was 12 and this is what he considered his transition into adolescence.
 The song was popular with critics and fans; Allmusic's Amy Hanson called it a "somewhat surprising hit".
 The song was nominated for the Record of the Year and Best Rock Performance by a Duo or Group with Vocal at the 39th Annual Grammy Awards, and won an MTV Video Music Award for Best Alternative Video.
 In 2012, it was voted the second-best Smashing Pumpkins song by Rolling Stone magazine readers.
Range Life (song)
"Range Life" is a song by Pavement, the third single from their 1994 album "Crooked Rain, Crooked Rain".
 The song attracted attention with controversial lyrics that seemed to mock alternative rock superstars the Smashing Pumpkins and the Stone Temple Pilots; Pumpkins frontman Billy Corgan expressed his displeasure in magazine interviews, while songwriter Stephen Malkmus maintained that his words had been misinterpreted and no insult was intended.
 Regardless, Pavement, which was due to tour for Lollapalooza in 1994, got kicked out when the Smashing Pumpkins, the headlining act, threatened to cancel their Lollapalooza dates if Pavement played.
 Pavement would eventually play Lollapalooza the next year.
 An early 1993 demo of the song did not feature this verse; guitarist Spiral Stairs recalled in 2004 that when Malkmus first revealed these new lyrics to his bandmates at the New York City recording sessions for "CRCR", "we almost lost our lunch from laughing so much."
 The single was not commercially released in the USA; it was issued by the band's UK label at the time, Big Cat.
 Both B-sides are outtakes from the "Crooked Rain, Crooked Rain" sessions and are included on the 2004 of that album.
 This song was one of many to be included in the group's greatest hits album "".
Mike Byrne (musician)
Michael William Byrne (born February 6, 1990) is a drummer who was a member of the band The Smashing Pumpkins.
 When Pumpkins frontman Billy Corgan called for rehearsals to replace Jimmy Chamberlin, Byrne auditioned and was chosen out of thousands of applicants.
