This album was released my sophomore year in high school I knew aerosmith was huge in the 70s but this was a refreshing release and a opening to 2 more decades of making music and touring to this day
essential tracks young lust, love in an elevator, F.I.N.E., Janie's Got A Gun (at first I did not like this song but now I get the message), the other side, what it takes may be one of there best ballads

This is were it all began for them and it does not disappointment more raw than Nevermind of course but the lyrics not as good, Kurt's guitar is louder and more DIY kind of sound if that makes sense and his vocals are less polished

I had a friend back in the college who tried to turn me on to them but I just didn't get it then but I get it now. while I was hearing this album I thought "did Oasis ever come out with anything original?" this was about 15 years before Oasis I understand this has a lot of dance music but also has the Madchester Rock sound of early 90's London the best moment of British Invasion Part 4

When this first came out I was in high school and I loved this album I mean to the point if I wrote this in 1990 this would of been number 1 but since then it sounds very dated and my music taste has changed and just has to much drama for me

This album is full of hits in fact almost half the album is on her greatest hits package but I don't like the interludes in between songs even if they each last less than 30 seconds to me it interrupts the flow

This is a great Madonna album maybe her best the other previous I felt was filler around great hits but here she delivers a strong album from beginning to end. An album track with Prince, Love Song, is fantastic but never released as s single as far as I know but should have
