I know there will be haters, but that's OK.
I just put a ton of old CDs on my PC to transfer to Itunes & I have to say I had a BLAST listening to the old Poison cds. I'm 30, so I grew up on that stuff.
Believe it or not it has held up. they were exceptional musicians even if you don't like their music.
I saw them live in 03 with winger, cinderella and faster pussycat & they put on an entertaining show.
In particular the two cds that stick out for me are Flesh & Blood & Native Tongue. They were slight departures from the "glam" sound of the 1st two cds. native tongue went for a very rock / blues feel and did a pretty good job.
I'm not saying these guys should have won a grammy or anything, but it was a very nice flash back to sit with these cds for a couple hours.
Key Tracks:
Ride The Wind - Flesh & Blood
Stand - Native Tongue
Until You Suffer Some - Native Tongue
Theater Of My Soul - Native Tongue

Flesh and Blood was a pretty solid album - I'm not a big Poison fan, but I've always liked that record.
The new covers album they put out, while cheesy as hell at times, was done very well musically. I think the band sounds better than ever, honestly. They did a nice job in the studio.

they were fun...but a few notches below some of the better bands of that genre/era.

I saw them in concert twice during their "heyday."
My theory is that this is was the fate of people (like me) who didn't have an older sibling to guide them towards better music. It took me a while to realize that MTV was steering me wrong.

That was Warrant (and so is "Heaven isn't too far away.")
Poison are one of the very few bands from that genre that I actually like. My step-dad has two of their CD's so I just borrow them whenever I want to listen.

I know, they just kinda run the same to me. I like some Poison here and there and always look forward to some Metal Mania on VH1 Classic
Even when I was thirty, I was able to see through the bullshit. You've got to be kidding me is right. Listening to Poison is like punching yourself in the testicles.

I'm picturing you with a mullet, rocking out to "Nothin' But A Good Time".
