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.

Stone Temple Pilots, Rival Sons and Interpol will join them on various dates.

The best of the best, year after year. The rock world has evolved quite a bit from 1970.

Happy summer solstice!

A livestream Q&A and a vinyl listening party is just the beginning of the celebration.

May the birthdays be filled with plenty of candles for these rock stars celebrating this month.
