“Spaceboy” by The Smashing Pumpkins
From the album Siamese Dream (1993)
“Spaceboy” by The Smashing Pumpkins appears on 1 radio countdown from 1 station in 1994. It was first released in 1993 on the album Siamese Dream. Its best result is #80 on the 91X Top 91 Songs of 1994. In the combined RockLists rankings it is the #261 alternative song of 1994.
"Spaceboy" sits on Siamese Dream, the Smashing Pumpkins' second album, which Virgin released in July 1993. Billy Corgan wrote it on his own, words and music, and co-produced the record with Butch Vig, while Alan Moulder mixed the track.
The sessions were fraught, riddled with trouble and tension, but the album that came out of them launched the Pumpkins into the mainstream and made them a major force in alternative music. Four singles carried the load, "Cherub Rock", "Today", "Disarm" and "Rocket", with "Mayonaise" added as a fifth in 2023 for the record's 30th anniversary. "Spaceboy" never got the single treatment, which leaves it for the fans who dig past the hits.
