POPS23 Album Covers that Changed Everything Jane's Addiction- A defining album in my life. I was 13 or so when the album was released, and I remember hearing the song "Standing in the Shower" on KROQ in L.A and thinking "Is he singing 'the water is a f*****g hot'? or 'the water is a PIPING hot?'. Couldn't tell at the time, until I saw the album cover....and then i still wasn't sure what he was singing! I think it was the beginning of the hard rock alternative scene of the early '90s.
