Nice, I love both albums but The Real Thing is a clear winner for me.

Faith No More - 1
Jane's Addiction - 0

Damn this is hard. I love both bands and love both albums. That said, I think Nothing's Shocking has aged a lot better than The Real Thing so I'm voting Jane's.

Faith No More - 1
Jane's Addiction - 1

I'll go with Jane's Addiction, I like their vocals and musical style better.

True that it has aged better, mostly due to production. But The Real Thing had a bigger impact on my musical map.

Dear Nirvana Fanboys,

If Nevermind drove the stake through the heart of hair metal, these 2 albums pinned it to the ground & pummelled it into unconsciousness first.

I don't listen to either album much these days but if I was to put one on it would be The Real Thing as it has more sentimental value.

Not my favourite albums by either band and despite preferring Jane`s Addiction to Faith No More in general, I remember the Faith No More album being the better of the two.

I could see that. Back when both albums were new The Real Thing was definitely my preference.

a better fight would be Ritual De Lo Habitual vs Angel Dust

Angel Dust would win easily for me.

Il Duce since you seem to know it all why don't you PM me a nomination for the next battle. I picked these two for a certain reason, they both helped a lot in the downfall of hair-metal in the late 80's, as Urban also mentioned. They don't necessarily have to be their best albums.

Out of these two I have to go with The Real Thing, it's definitly the more ground-breaking of the two and completely broke down some genre barriers. It's such a great mixture of styles including pop, thrash, hip-hop, funk, hard-rock, new-wave, and god knows what else, all thrown without any regard for musical norms. Nothing's Shocking is a fantastic album as well. It is heavily influenced by the likes of Led Zeppelin but they added their own original twist to update hard-rock for generation-x.
