Siamese Dream was a breakthrough album by The Smashing Pumpkins, released on July 27, 1993. It is rumoured that due to constant fighting within the band, that Billy Corgan played all the guitar and bass parts. The band generally deny this, but Corgan did say he played the majority of the guitar parts. Siamese Dream is generally considered the best work of The Smashing Pumpkins.
