13. 'Geek USA'

"Geek USA," the centerpiece of Siamese Dream, is one of Corgan's more fierce rockers. The riffs are brilliant and the lyrics stand out as some of the very best of his career, but the song is ultimately a showcase for Jimmy Chamberlain's astonishing drumming, which seamlessly shifts from heavy hitting beats to light, jazzy fills.
