Which alternative rock band released the 1995 album 'Mellon Collie and the Infinite Sadness'?

The story behind the answer

The Smashing Pumpkins released the 1995 alternative rock album Mellon Collie and the Infinite Sadness.

Mellon Collie and the Infinite Sadness was the band's third studio album and a double record containing 28 tracks. Produced by Flood, Alan Moulder, and Billy Corgan, it moves across heavy guitar rock, orchestral pop, electronic music, and quieter piano-based songs.

The album includes “1979,” “Tonight, Tonight,” “Bullet with Butterfly Wings,” and “Zero.” “Tonight, Tonight” is known for its elaborate early-cinema-inspired music video, while “1979” became one of the group's most successful singles.

The title can be confused with Siamese Dream, the band's 1993 album, but Mellon Collie was released two years later. It became one of the most commercially successful double albums of the 1990s and earned the band multiple Grammy nominations.
