The Smashing Pumpkins have several great albums but this one is a standout. Mellon Collie and the Infinite Sadness proves that Billy Corgan is one of the great song writers, especially since this is their follow-up album after their hugely successful Siamese Dream. This album is a double CD release, with a play time of over 2 hours. The first disc is dawn and the other is dusk, the times mentioned in the songs roughly correspond to a passing day in the life of a teenager. If you feel like spending a few hours just chilling out with headphones on then this is what you should listen to. There are so many great songs on here that I couldn’t pick a favorite. Tonight, Tonight, Bullet with Butterfly Wings, 1979, and Here is No Why are all amazingly well written songs that you should already know.
Note: When I was in university I had to study Georges Méliès's silent film A Trip to the Moon (1902) It is one of the first silent films ever made. The Video for Tonight, Tonight is based off of Méliès film, and they did a great job. Here it is.
