Whenever We Wanted – John MellencampView More By John Mellencamp Our ReviewSteeped in gutsy heartland rock, 1991’s Whenever We Wanted brings John Mellencamp back to the sound of such pivotal albums as American Fool and Uh-Huh. A definite Rolling Stones influence (think Exile on Main St.) is apparent in tracks like “Crazy Ones,” “Melting Pot” and the hit single “Get a Leg Up.” The cowbell-accented beat of “They’re So Tough” spurs Mellencamp on to give an especially aggressive vocal performance. There’s an almost punk attitude coursing through the hard-chugging “I Ain’t Ever Satisfied.” Though sexual intrigue is the subject of more than one of these tunes, Mellencamp hasn’t completely forsaken his role as a populist commentator here. “Love and Happiness” offers thoughts about war and consumerism even as it lays down a ferocious groove. Whenever We Wanted isn’t the most reflective of Mellencamp’s albums, but for sheer rock muscle and pugnacious spirit, it ranks among his best.. Customer ReviewsHARD MELLENCAMP!! (5 stars)this is a really, really straight forward rock album. it kicks off with love and happiness, and never really lets up. i saw this tour, and it was fantastic!!! if you are a fan of rock and mellencamp, buy it. Recently re-discovered (4 stars) I loved this cd when it was first released. It is just good music from start to finish. The best songs are Get a Leg Up, Melting Pot, I ain't ever Satisfied and Love and Happiness. This CD just ROCKS! I don't generally agree with John Cougar's politics, but I do like his music. Mellancamp's Best (5 stars) Simply John Mellancamp's best album. It rocks from start to finish. The guitar on "Melting Pot" is infectious. I think "Crazy Ones" could be a modern day country smash hit. "Again Tonight" picks me up everytime. "Now More Than Ever" just keeps building and then the guitar just tears it open...love it! BiographyBorn: October 07, 1951 in Seymour, INGenre: Rock Years Active: '70s, '80s, '90s, '00s, '10s Throughout his career, John Mellencamp has had to fight, whether it was for the right to record under his own name or for respect as an artist. Of course, he never made it easy on himself. Mellencamp began his career in the late '70s as a Bruce Springsteen clone called Johnny Cougar. As his career progressed, his music became more distinctive, developing into a Stonesy blend of hard rock and folk-rock. His musical development coincided with his growth in popularity — by the time "Hurts So Good"...
