The Smashing Pumpkins – Pisces Iscariot (2xLP)

Pisces Iscariot by The Smashing Pumpkins is a compilation album released on October 4, 1994. Unlike a traditional studio album, it consists of B-sides, outtakes, and cover songs recorded during the sessions for their first two albums, Gish and Siamese Dream. Despite being a compilation, it’s considered an essential part of the band’s discography, showcasing their range and depth beyond the radio hits.

The album features fan favorites like "Frail and Bedazzled," "Starla," and the beautiful, melancholic acoustic track "Landslide," which is a cover of the Fleetwood Mac classic. Pisces Iscariot offers an intimate, raw glimpse into the band’s creative process, highlighting both the soft, introspective side of Billy Corgan’s songwriting and the more experimental, distorted sounds that the band was known for in the early '90s.

The album charted surprisingly well for a B-sides collection, reaching #4 on the Billboard 200, reflecting the strength of The Smashing Pumpkins' fanbase at the height of their popularity.
