Poison certainly divide opinion that’s for sure. I was in the camp that derided them and thought they were all that’s bad about rock n’ roll. When you look a little closer, they maybe kept big rock alive as they were still filling out stadiums and were all over radio and MTV, whereas some of their contemporaries were falling by the wayside.
This album alone made them stars, it’s rammed full of hit tunes. Nothin’ But A Good Time, Look But You Can’t Touch, Fallen Angel, Your Mama Don’t Dance, and the huge all over the world track Every Rose Has It’s Thorn. They must have been doing something right as this album sold by the shed full. If you keep it simple with a chorus to remember, you can’t go wrong.
So yeah, I’ve come to appreciate the music they made and give credit where credits due.
9/10 from The Grooveman.
