It had to be done.

Hey, they weren't THAT bad.. ;)

LOL, I enjoyed them. I won't say I liked everything they did - but I did enjoy a lot.

The music snobs will hiss and booh.... but secretly they still want to hear it.... :)

done and done :)

1994's 'Monster' was just that - a monster. I think a well deserving candidate for best album of the 90s.

What's the Frequency, Kenneth? Nice hard rock hook, nice wry lyric
Crush with Eyeliner - another nice hard-rock hook
King of Comedy
I Don't Sleep, I Dream - and another
Star 69 - and another
Strange Currencies - Anthem like ... powerful chorus
Tongue - smooth changeup
Bang and Blame - We all know somebody the title applies to, right?
I Took Your Name yet anoher
Let Me In
Circus Envy
You

Peter Buck I think is shamefully overlooked as the 'monster' talent he is. Listen to Tongue - silky smooth blue-eyed soul. Buck plays piano, organ and guitar on this one:
