Played this non stop driving around LA in my convertible back in the day. It's a great album because every song is good so you don't have to fumble around driving and changing tracks Crash! I got to see them here in UK they played Reading I think in mid 90s. I was the only English guy who knew their stuff. I could never understand why they weren't bigger. I think maybe their dress sense was too good for the time everyone grungey and low profile and check shirts and that sloppy genx stuff. When I saw them they had glitter suits and werre TOTALLY FUCKIN' ROCK NROLL!!!!!!!!111yEAh

My Pop music interests actually date back to the late 60`s and 70`s; and the "Grunge" period (by my estimation) often had "dull periods" when there wasn`t much that seemed very impressive getting airplay. During those times, when there WOULD be an especially good song, I would actively "hunt" for an airing of it on MTV during cable TV browsing sessions. This was DEFINITELY one of those songs.
