Jane's Addiction
That band were a muscle. Stephen Perkins’ octopus-armed drumming, Dave Navarro’s articulate guitar work and Perry Farrell’s life affirming lyrics all coming together to create something larger than the sum of its parts.
The first time I heard Jane's Addiction, it was like being shaken out of a stupor; it was like someone telling me basic human truths that deep down I'd known all along. I can't adequately put into words what songs such as Ocean Size and Ain't No Right meant to me.
