While I agree with Molanphy that it got unfairly overshadowed by "Without You", that song has it's moments as well. I remember buying the Motley Crue double live album in high school, and being outraged when the version of "Without You" was missing the bridge.

OMG Lukather's Mork suspenders. And was this from the brief time when Burton Cummings was fronting Toto?

Also: poor Jeff Porcaro. They buried him with his sticks, you know. True story.

"you'd love Abba too, if you had robot ears."

now, with my illusions shattered, i head back to Metsblog with my tail between my legs.

That entire production (starting with the almost Cure-like opening, and OMG, the minor-key build to the chorus) is positively spine-tingling. This song still gets a workout on my iPod regularly.

"Don't Go Away Mad" did way, way better on the charts than "S.O.S." If it got overshadowed by anything on Dr. Feelgood it was the boring ballad, "Without You," which came just before "DGAM (JGA)" and was the Crüe's only Top 10 hit besides "Dr. Feelgood," the song. But "DGAM (JGA)" was one of their five highest-charting Hot 100 hits (the list: "Dr. F," "Without You," "Girls^3" "Smokin' in the Boys' Room", "DGAM (JGA)") and got shitloads of MTV play, as I recall.

(Before anyone asks: "Home Sweet Home" wasn't promoted to Top 40 radio in 1985, and so back in the days when the Hot 100 wasn't all-genre, it charted poorly despite its months of Dial MTV dominance. A live remake charted, also not too brilliantly, in 1991-92.)

Expose really IS great spring music. I almost want to say that was the season I first heard them but it's way too long ago now to say.
