36. Smashing Pumpkins’ Mellon Collie and the Infinite Sadness (1995) - Is it too long?

MC&TIS is over 2 hours long! 2 hours! In old money terms, it’s a triple vinyl album. Should it have been? The panel discuss it & agree on the tracks they would have picked if it had been released as a single album. What good songs will miss out?  Our guest is Pablos guitarist & singer, Paul Murphy. Controversially, he thinks this should have been an EP! 😬 He also reminisces about seeing the band live at the Reading Festival in 1995.   Show Running Order:  Intro - 00:00 - 14:19   Tale of the tape - 14:23 - 27:11  1995 in review - 28:43 - 41:21  Trim the talk - 41:26 - 44:49  Pumpkins live and album length discussion - 44:54 - 56:52  Pumpkin jokes 56:52 - 58:17  Song selection & discussion - 58:21 - 1:36:45  TTMF Supercut 1:36:46 - 1:37:16  Cut songs 1:37:17 - 1:42:20  Album rating and individual playlists - 1:42:22 - 1:46:36  When should the band have split - 1:46:43 - 1:48:38  Farewell & Goodnight -1:48:49 - 1:50:37  Hosts are Stephen & Paul Nicholson.  Like the podcast?
