Jane's Addiction is considered one of the trailblazers of alternative rock. Their influence on musicians since is inestimable. The band broke up in the early 90s, but after a false start in 1997, reunited in 2001 to release a new album and tour. After another breakup in 2003, the band reunited once again in 2008, and appears to be currently active, with pending plans to release a box set in 2009. | Jane's Addiction is considered one of the trailblazers of alternative rock.
