Van Halen's Fair Warning was the same. I'd always enjoyed Van Halen and Eddie's guitar riffs (I can't spell out r.i.f.f.a.g.e.) but it wasn't until I heard Dirty Movies, Sinner's Swing! and Hear About It Later that I really got into them because there was just so much anger and attitude in those songs and solos, something I didn't hear in 50's, 60's and 70's guitar driven music, whether it was pop, rock or jazz.

That year really changed my life.
The opening riff of Snortin Whiskey is so freakin tasty. Stoner stuff is my main fun and I love those groovy bluesy riffs...
