"Smashing Young Man" is a song by American alternative rock band Collective Soul. It is the third single from their second studio album Collective Soul. The song was rumored to have been written as an insult to Smashing Pumpkins lead singer, Billy Corgan, who accused Collective Soul of plagiarizing music.[citation needed]
