If there is one song that captured the 90s music scene it's this song.

Ahem.. not really.. close, but no

@@LarsRyeJeppesen so then what is the one iconic representative song of alternative 90's rock?

@C R E A T E T U B E 100%. People can talk shit about it, including Kurt Cobain himself, but there’s a reason it became so big.

[@HuckleberryAlexander]

For anyone born at a certain time, this song will likely always be one of the clearest and purest representations of nostalgia.

[@mattroberts3204]

I was just thinking that. Took me back to the mid 90s, the house I lived in then, the other music on the radio. This is awesome.

[@sylvainpenicaud5691]

I was born in 1963. Was 16 in 1979. This song is my anthem

[@fattysgarage1754]

12 in 1979. Yes it has a certain emotion to it.

[@lawrencecocuzza]

Billy and the Pumpkins deserve to be in the Rock Hall of Fame. One of the most important and influential bands of their era.

[@KaBoomChannel]

Justin Beiber is getting inducted this year, how exciting!

[@deathriverflowing5675]

They’ve been being overlooked for 8 years of eligibility!! >:(

[@matthewwinthrop3278]

Couldn’t agree more. I think there are other bands from that era that are overlooked, too. It’s sad. It’s overdue for the Pumpkins to be in.

[@TheHeroicDoses]

agree 100%

[@rickysubie]

The hall of fame is so subjective. The woke people at rolling stone are too young to appreciate the pioneers. It could be Billy's reputation for being a jerk too.

[@smagencies]

Most nostalgic song ever if you were born in the 70's, raised in the 80's, partied in the 90's, found love in 00's and getting my son into good music in 2010 and beyond...

[@TheHSIHP]

That's me

[@lipeteixeira]

I’ve born in the 90’s and this song give me nostalgic feelings as well. That’s something about it that triggers a nostalgic feeling.

[@elchatodeoro1]

[@dilegox]

People don't realize how good Corgan is as a guitarist. Those are not easy chords to play, especially when singing.

[@karmahavok]

I think people realize how good of a guitarist he is. He's influenced many bands. That said, 1979 while a great guitar song is not, by any means, a difficult guitar song. It takes good rhythm, but it's not technical. I encourage everyone to play it!

[@morbidmanmusic]

wrong. lol. People ..what people..? Also, very very easy to play. Sorry charlie.

[@lunarpking]

This is my favorite song, and band, but after having not touched a guitar in 10+ years I looked at tabs and played most the song after five minutes of teaching myself. Great song, but a much less technical song than plenty of others by them.

[@vancitycanucks]

They are very easy to play. Lol

[@dmannion81]

lol

[@gorfaj]

so far, music is the closest thing we've got to a time machine

[@forhisglory700]

Well said.

[@elviracatherinetalaoc2070]

Pumpkins are so underrated. The deserve more.

[@macristo33]

First time I heard this song on the radio, I completely froze. Everything about the song was perfect. I was in the 8th grade when I heard this song for the first time. Hearing this song for the first time was one of my favorite childhood memories.

[@aaronluvsmelo15]

I love his voice so much

[@alexojeda8915]

His voice actually sounds great here!

[@provcityparks3278]

this song is great because of the melody and the chorus riff. it isnt overpowering but it has subtle hypnotic tones and is smooth

[@mungofinalfi4480]

I think the verse riff is better and more classic than the chorus riff. The chorus vocal melody is awesome though.

[@bluepandaman]

So many memories of when this song came out.

[@ars4455]

me too 😔

[@themountaingoat21]

A ageless classic. I got this as a promo cd in the 90's and when I heard it..I was blown away..still am today

After school in the 90’s I went to the news agent and this tab was in a guitar magazine so I wrote it out in my school book and still play it today. One of the nicest songs to jam on.

Listening to that brought back so many memories from that era. Life felt uncomplicated.

[@antiochiaadtaurum3786]

It's great to see the actual band back together. It's a real pity D'Arcy is gone

[@SlickBlackCadillac]

She was no good. A huge liability

[@DaveTaste]

She was nice. But she was also crap.

[@happity]

Is that Jimmy Chamberlain on drums?

[@FeeIium]

@@happity yup

[@johndrummond88]

Her "crap" was better than 99% of most musicians could put out today. She was a liability due to her personal life not mirroring her professional life. She can still thump a Fender Precision better than most folks.

Such a great band..liked them since 93 ..first song i remember was Today..liked them ever since..I was 14..now 44..still digging it
