In an interview with Paper Thin Walls way back when, Abe Vigoda guitarist/vocalist Juan Velazquez seemingly lost a few of the band’s Smell-related cool points by saying, “I don’t know if we sound anything like them but we’re all definitely Smashing Pumpkins geeks.

That’s why we asked Velazquez to split the Pumpkins’ dense catalog into a MUST HAVE ALBUM, an INTERMEDIATE RECORD, and an ADVANCED LISTEN.
