Billy Corgan was a genius (for a VERY short period of time in his songwriting career) and though his music had a very short 'shelf-life"...when he was on...he was absolutely brilliant!!!
He took advantage of the HUGE vacancy that Kurt left us and delivered great music, period.
Now, comparing Nirvana to the Smashing Pumpks, you can't!!!
Cobain changed the industry for the better...period. Its a HUGE milestone despite what you think of his guitar playing (IMO sloppy as hell yet perfect in its passion, intimacy and tone) and that can't ever be taken away from his legacy.
There would be no Billy G. if it wasn't for Cobain opening the door which REM, the Replacements, et al. helped him barge into....
