Dr. Feelgood by Motley Crue
Dr. Feelgood is an album by Motley Crue, released in 1989. 4 songs from it have charted on rock radio countdowns, with 139 countdown appearances in total. The biggest is “Kickstart My Heart”, on 70 lists with a best position of #6.
Dr. Feelgood, Mötley Crüe's fifth album, came out on Elektra on September 1, 1989, and it's the sound of the world's most notorious party band getting sober and getting serious. It was the first record they made after going through rehab that year, and with Bob Rock producing, Vince Neil, Mick Mars, Nikki Sixx and Tommy Lee sound tighter, meaner and bigger than they ever had.
The title track is a slow, sleazy grind, "Kickstart My Heart" roars like a dragster off the line, "Same Ol' Situation (S.O.S.)" and "Don't Go Away Mad (Just Go Away)" swagger with a grin, and "Without You" is the obligatory power ballad, done with real polish. It became their only album to top the Billboard 200 and their best seller, and plenty of fans and critics rate it their finest. It was also the last album Neil made with them until Generation Swine in 1997.
