I agree.. Nothing's Shocking was (to me) the best hard rock album, since, oh, I don't know, Physical Graffiti. Dave Navarro (guitar) has great phrasing. Helped bring back (pains me to type that) the classic Les Paul/Marshall stack sound!

Up the Beach, Ted Just Admit It... all great tunes. Without a doubt, pick up their first album if you don't have it already... self titled live album from XXX Records. It just smokes!

I have ripped most of my CDs to MP3s on my CPU and have a huge jukebox setup. I have a "go to sleep playlist" with Elton John, Van Morrison, Beatles, Billy Joel... Those (less the Beatles) are probably my "weaknesses", though I really don't give a rat's behind what anyone thinks of my music!

Much as I was born and raised a Redskins fan, the same can be said to excuse my fondness for Neil Diamond. My parents loved Neil, and I was raised humming the bars of "Cherry, Cherry" and "Cracklin' Rosie". I only listen to his early stuff from the late 60s and early 70s, not the truly wretched "Headed for the Future" and "Comin' to America" crap he put out in the '80s. The first concert I ever saw was a Neil Diamond concert at the Capital Centre.
