Nothing's Shocking, the first album by Jane's Addiction, is 35 years old. I saw the video for "Mountain Song" on 120 Minutes and bought the album on cassette the next day.
Between this album and Pretty Hate Machine by Nine Inch Nails (1989) I wore both cassettes out. I listened to Nothing's Shocking pretty much every day until Pretty Hate Machine came out, and then I listened to that one everyday. Side note: I spent my 39th birthday in 8th row at the NINJA tour featuring both bands after seeing them at the first Lollapalooza in 1991.
1) I feel old. 2) I feel like both albums hold up.
Happy 35th Nothing's Shocking. You're still brilliant.
