While outstanding and legendary in their own right, it was Perry Farrell's attempt to be the modern day Velvet Underground. They only had three studio albums: Triple X, Nothing's Shocking (which won a grammy in 1988) and Ritual de lo Habitual. Apparently, the band was broken up because it was getting too popular. If you ever attended one of these shows, you were in for a unforgettable experience.

Since their breakup in the early 1990's, Perry Farrell has brought the group back together several times for rare performances. However, the original bassist, Eric Avery, was never included in these reunions. His replacement is usually Flea from the Red Hot Chili Peppers.

Not to nit-pick, but this is my favorite band. Actually, Jane's had four albums so far (6/2000). Their titles and labels, and release years:

Jane's Addiction on Triple X Records, 1987
Nothing's Shocking on Warner Bros, 1988
Ritual De Lo Habitual on Warner Bros, 1990
Kettle Whistle on Warner Bros, 1997

Note that the first album is actually self-titled, and that they released a "live, demos, out-takes" album in '97.

Here is a translation of the Spanish intro to Ritual de lo Habitual, right before the song Stop.

Senoras y senoras, nosotros tenemos mas influencia con sus hijos que tu tiene
Ladies and gentlemen, we have more influence over your children than you do

pero que queremos
but we love them, too.

JUANA'S ADDICTION!!!

I never understood why they say "Juana's Addiction" instead of "La Addiction de Juana" or just "Jane's Addiction", but it must be a type of Spanglish thing.
