Dr. Feelgood
1989
Favorite tracks: Dr. Feelgood, Kickstart My Heart, Don't Go Away Mad (Just Go Away)
Sleeper tracks: Slice of Your Pie, Sticky Sweet
I wasn't the biggest Crue fan growing up. They were too popular for me and while I liked some of the songs, I didn't feel the need to get any of the records.
I started to buy the albums in the early 2000s. Once I realized how good some of the records sounded and how good some of the songwriting was, I made it a point to get the whole catalog.
This album sounds huge thanks to Bob Rock (produced Metallica's 'Black Album' after Lars heard the sound of Dr. Feelgood). There's a lot of cool guitar work going on. I didn't like all the horns and layered backup vocals (the list of guest singers rangers from Bryan Adams to members of Cheap Trick to Steven Tyler) but I get what they were trying to do. Tommy's drumming is pretty awesome.
