EJ wrote:They were certainly exciting in those very early years. And, yes, Ed's soaring vocals and his mystique was a huge part of the appeal. The "Animal/RIFW" performance on the 93 MTV Video Awards was one of the most goosebump raising things they'd to that point. It was raw, powerful, and separated them
But, if I had to choose the best period of the band, it'd be 1994-2000 - a much more creative band and Ed's talents as an all-around singer improved dramatically.

I find that awkward and embarrassing to watch. I never really cared for the band till Vitalogy. Ten is pretty close to hair metal but is enjoyable as some hair metal is. I much prefer 1994 - 1998.
