Another artist I acquired albums of in the CD collection I annexed last Spring. Unlike Pearl Jam, I actually didn't have a bias going in to listening to their music. I recall somewhat enjoying the song, "Jane Says" back in the day and was hoping that, in listening to their music, I would find it to be something that I was truly missing out on by never buying into them in the 1990's. Nope. "Nothing's Shocking", their big hit album, completely sucks. Unlistenable garbage IMO. Yeah, "Jane Says" is on it, but I forgot how tediously long that song was. Yeah, it's somewhat enjoyable, but goes on a good minute-minute and a half too long. I really think what happened was that the powers that be in the music industry told radio programmers that Jane's Addiction was going to be the next big thing and they HAD TO play some music from this album...... and the programmers listened to the album and figured "Jane Says" was the only halfway tolerable song, so they went with it.
