ROUND 1 - Smashing Pumpkins

With a name as distinctive as their sound, Smashing Pumpkins are definitely icons if Rock. So, where did the name come from? According to leader, Billy Corgan, “Pumpkins” just came to him. It has nothing to do with Halloween or even actual pumpkins themselves. “[Pumpkins] could have been any vegetable.” As far as “Smashing” goes, the band intended it to be used as an adjective, not a verb.
