Not very close.
You didn't know Steelheart, you don't get a vote.

I think Eddie Vedder berated an audience for daring to applaud after they played "Black" telling them don't cheer because you don't know where I was in my life when I wrote that or something... Just reaffirmed my opinion that Vedder is a douche.

When I See You Smile by Bad English. When The Children Cry - White Lion God, just thinking about Steelheart makes me giggle. When I was a sophomore in HS, I was in a band with seniors and someone had the great idea of playing Save The Weak by Britny Fox at our Spring variety show. It was as wretched as it sounds..... |

"Never Mind the Bollocks" is the best debut album IMO, but it's kind of their only true album. |

"The Stooges," but I would stop short of objectively saying it is better than "Appetite." I'd say "Nothing's Shocking" is as good, if you count that as Jane's Addiction's first album (there was a live album prior to that, as was the case with GnR.) |

However, everything they did pre Revolver is pop dreck. And an immediate change the channel when listening to radio. That Ramones debut was top notch...29 minutes of fast and furious awesomeness. |

The scene in Dazed and Confused was similar to my memory of junior high with Steelheart and Slaughter. Fly to the Angels is very underrated. I think maybe Slaughter get overlooked because the cheese factor wasn't as strong with them. The video is really good and they don't do a lot of posing unlike White Lion and Wait. The cheese is very strong in that one. The drummer even has a gong. I'm not aware of any White Lion songs that required a gong. |

Appetite is a pretty damn flawless album. I'm not going to argue for or against anything I'm not versed in...Ramones, Cars, Dave Matthews Band.... Rage Against the Machine had a nice debut. Arguably their best album. |

I'll have to give them a listen if they have stuff better than - Break on Through Soul Kitchen Alabama Song Light My Fire Back Door Man The End I'll throw in Take It as It Comes also. I think that is an underrated song. I don't think there is a bad song on there, maybe Crystal Ship. |

I have never been a big Doors fan. IMO GnR Appettite is at the very least in the team photo for greatest rock album of all time. |

Yeah it would have been better as one album with the best songs, but I actually liked both albums. They are not on the same level as Appetite, but still pretty good. |
