36. Smashing Pumpkins’ Mellon Collie and the Infinite Sadness

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.
