[edit] Galapogos?

I know the correct spelling is Galápagos (yes, with the second "a" accented)... but I'm wondering if the misspelling is the band's, or the editors'. Anyone got their album handy who can verify this?

It's spelled on the album "Galapogos". God knows why. Thanks for asking first! Underwater 15:49, 6 June 2006 (UTC)
Right now both spellings are listed on this album page.. I say they should both read "Galapogos" as given on the album. I'm going to make the change -- please protest in response here. 74.128.253.162 01:06, 19 September 2006 (UTC)
no no no no... i think it should stay as the album spelling...if it doesn't stay a sthe album spelling does that mean that we should change all the (supposed) misspellings on every album? "Galapogos" is the album spelling and, whether it is an error on Corgan's (or the label's or whoever's) side or not, Galapogos it should stay...Sickboy3883 22:41, 12 November 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Record of the Year?

If it was released in 1995, how was it nominated for Record of the Year (1979)? Shouldn't that be 1997?

No it means that the song 1979 was nominated for Record of the Year.Aljohnston 23:16, 8 October 2006 (UTC)
I reformatted all the album and song titles to conform to WP:MOS-T which also has the nice side effect of making it more clear that it's referring to the song "1979" and not the year. Pimlottc 20:49, 20 November 2006 (UTC)
