The band's debut full-length Nothing's Shocking is often stunning. 

 The 1990 followup, Ritual de lo Habitual, produced the sly glam-rocker "Been Caught Stealing," which remains a rock radio staple to this day. 

 The inevitable reunion came in 1997, though without Avery, who vowed never to work with Farrell again, leaving the Chili Peppers' Flea to step in as interim bassist. Marking the occasion was Kettle Whistle, a hodgepodge of unreleased cuts. 

 Neither made much impact, though, and the two teamed again with Perkins (with former Porno bassist Martyne LeNoble taking over for Flea full time) to tour as Jane's Addiction and record a new album, their first in 13 years. 

 A final nail in the band's coffin was the greatest hits set Up From The Catacombs, a silly proposition for a group whose discography is basically two essential studio albums, a half-decent comeback LP and a handful of avoidable fan fetish items.  

 The band reunited once again in 2008, with original bassist Eric Avery back in the fold for the first time since the days of Doc Martens, nose rings and OK Cola.
