Originally released October 24, 1995, Mellon Collie and the Infinite Sadness would debut at No. 1 on the Billboard 200 chart and was certified nine time platinum by the RIAA. It yielded major hits such as "Bullet With Butterfly Wings" — the iconic alternative band's unlikely first Top 40 hit — the exquisite "1979" and epic "Tonight, Tonight" as well as a thoroughly inspired series of videos. Produced by Billy Corgan, Flood and Alan Moulder, the album would also earn a Grammy Award (1996 Best Hard Rock Performance for "Bullet With Butterfly Wings") as well as seven nominations. Beyond the more obvious hits, though, Mellon Collie is a song cycle of unusual depth and considerable range. It is a collection of stunningly beautiful moments when everything lined up — a moment in time that's still here to be treasured.
