Billy Corgan

William Patrick "Billy" Corgan, Jr. (born March 17, 1967 in Chicago, Illinois, U.S.A.) is an American vocalist, guitarist, and songwriter best known for his work in the now-disbanded alternative rock band The Smashing Pumpkins. The Pumpkins were one of alternative rock's biggest acts, known for their complex layered sound, Corgan's scathing guitar and whiny vocals, and making use of elaborate and evocative fantasy imagery. The Smashing Pumpkins produced five major albums, including the widely-acclaimed and commercially successful albums Siamese Dream (1993) and the follow-up double album Mellon Collie and the Infinite Sadness (1995).
