From Motley Crue's fifth studio album, Dr. Feelgood, I chose the power ballad "Without You" as my Power 96 Cool One for last Friday. Released as the third single from the album, yesterday's track made it to No. 11 on the U.S. Billboard Hot Mainstream Rock Tracks chart and No. 8 on the U.S. Billboard Hot 100. The album, released on September 1, 1989, topped the charts at No. 1 on the U.S. Billboard 200, No. 4 on the UK charts and No. 7 in Canada.

As their best-selling and probably the best-known Crue album, it's filled with several singles including yesterday's "Without You," "Kickstart My Heart," "Same Ol' Situation (SOS)," "Don't Go Away Mad (Just Go Away)," as well as the title track, "Dr. Feelgood." I don't usually like power ballads as much as the songs that have some balls, but I would have to put "Without You" in the "like" category. Another tune from the album that I've always enjoyed was "Rattlesnake Shake." Give it a listen sometime and see what you think.

Listen at 4:35PM this afternoon for the next Power 96 Cool One, brought to you by Kelly's Auto Parts in Faribault.
