Great observation!  I recently bought Mellon Collie on a chance because I'm 
always intrigued by the magical and now rare rock double album (CD).  In 
fact I knew Billy Corgan had something going for him when I noticed George 
Gershwin sheet music on his piano a couple years ago during an interview.
Ambition wise Corgan can rival Townshend (I think rock has been lacking a 
deep thinker for some time), this album is a very challenging listen.  As 
for musical content it's not of the classic variety yet, but it has more 
peaks than valleys.
