...it seems some on this board like to hate them? I don't understand, they were an awesomely talented funk rock band. Pocketful of Kryptonite is a classic.

    I like them too. That CD was a soundtrack to my high school days. Too bad the band kind of faded away after that.

    Aside from 1 or 2 songs, that is an awesome, awesome album. I also have a bunch of boots of the Spin Doctors from the early 90's and they are the shit. Really really underated.

    Spin Doctor boots?...how would one go about acquiring said boots?
    "Off My Line" is just an awesome tune.
    SD are a band that no one lists as a favorite but when their songs come on, you never see anyone change it.

    1. Jimmy Olsen's Blues
    2. What Time Is It?
    3. Little Miss Can't Be Wrong
    4. Forty Or Fifty
    5. Refrigerator Car
    6. More Than She Knows
    7. Two Princes
    8. Off My Line
    9. How Could You Want Him (When You Know You Could Have Me?)
    10. Shinbone Alley/Hard To Exist

    But you are correct...Shinbone Alley is a sick jam.
    This is definitely a party album

    For boots:http://www.archive.org/search.php?query=collection%3Aetree%20AND%20%2Fmetadata%2Fcreator%3A%22Spin%20Doctors%22

    Take your pick of the boots there. I suggest searching for boots from soundboards, usually better quality. Also read the reviews to chose the best ones.

    Off My Line is awesome.

    The last song is Shinbone Alley jammed into Hard 2 Exist. And yes its one ass kicking song with a SICK jam.
