Alabama can rightly claim to be the band who made country music what it is today. Formed by three cousins in 1969, the band hit their peak in the 1980s with their blend of southern rock and twangy country balladry, a formula that everyone from Garth Brooks to Luke Bryan has built upon in the subsequent years. Now for Alabama are back on the road to celebrating over 50 years of making music!

Of all the major alternative rock bands of the early '90s, the Smashing Pumpkins were the group least influenced by traditional underground rock. Lead guitarist/songwriter Billy Corgan fashioned an amalgam of progressive rock, heavy metal, goth rock, psychedelia, and dream pop, creating a layered, powerful sound driven by swirling, distorted guitars. With iconic albums 'Siamese Dream' and 'Mellon Collie And The Infinite Sadness' - Corgan and co solidified themselves one of the greatest alternative rock bands of all time. In fact, the Smashing Pumpkins became the model for alternative rock success. Now, far into the 21st century, The Smashing Pumpkins have remained beloved by fans of alternative music.
