Can't say I've ever listened to these guys. Any good, or just a few songs here and there that a worth anything?

Their pretty good Mark. Mutt Lange produced them. The problem I have with them do that their song selection doesn't seem consistent. Seems like they tried to please everyone and in most cases it's mixed results at best. I bought a couple two-fers afew months back. I played once or twice but nothing I need to rush back to hear again.

I picked this up in a bargain bin for a quarter. One of the more costly quarters I've ever spent - I totally fell in love with this album. I ended up buy a couple copies on cassette, I may have picked up a second vinyl copy when the first one started getting ragged, and I found a CD copy as well. And I'll buy this one, too. I can't say it's a masterpiece end to end, but I really love the first side, and I love how the concept ends the album. Freaked me out the first time I heard it because I was kind of fading out at the time.

I've picked up most of the rest of their catalog. As Rick said, I've listened to it all, but nothing else really grabbed me.

I only vaguely remember this one, but I think I liked it. I still have it on vinyl so I guess a listening session is in order this week.
