@POWERPLANTRECORDS | PowerPlantRecords.com | Leave a positive Google review!
Title: Smashing Pumpkins – Gish
Year/Genre/Sub-Genre/City: 1991, Rock, Alternative Rock, Chicago, IL

Media Narrative: Released into the pre-mainstream alternative moment; later success made people retroactively treat Gish like a prophecy instead of a local indie record.
