State of play: His solo project, Billy Corgan and the Machines of God, pulls into House of Blues tonight at 6:30pm.
Yes, but: It's Corgan's main band, the Smashing Pumpkins, at the center of a Rock Hall debate.
What they're saying: "The Chicago alternative rock band certainly has the credentials to be in the Rock Hall, but has yet to even secure a nomination," Axios' Chicago's Justin Kaufmann wrote after this year's nominees were announced.
"They topped the 1995 Billboard album charts with 'Mellon Collie and the Infinite Sadness' and they consistently charted with songs like '1979,' 'Tonight, Tonight,' 'Disarm' and many more."
💭 Troy's thought bubble: The Smashing Pumpkins rank right up there with 1990s bands like Soundgarden, Red Hot Chili Peppers and Rage Against the Machine, which have been inducted.
If you go:Tickets for Corgan's show start at $75.50.
