I liked "Shout At The Devil" more than most Crue, and I still think Dr. Feelgood is a very strong record, but Crue were always second or third tier for me. I've written about this before but I was East Coast, so for me, it was "Twisted Sister", not Crue. I think there were a lot of similarities at that time between the two bands, from the debut (two versions, one raw, one more polished) to the breakout album (Twisted's third, Stay Hungry and Crue's fifth, Dr. Feelgood), with a really strong record in between (Twisted's second, You Can't Stop Rock and Roll) and Crue's second Shout At The Devil and fourth, Girls Girls Girls).
