The best hit songs often have fascinating stories. This one is about "1979," The Smashing Pumpkins hit song that was almost dropped from Mellon Collie And The Infinite Sadness. Mellon Collie was the band's rock opera, a massive double album with over two dozen tracks. Dig into a little of the history of the LP -- and more specifically, the album story behind the song "1979" which would become the second single from the record.
