Page "Mötley Crüe" Paragraph 12

After finding sobriety in 1989, Mötley Crüe reached its peak popularity with the release of their fifth album, the Bob Rock produced Dr. Feelgood, on September 1, 1989.

On October 14 of that year, it became a No. 1 album and stayed on the charts for 109 weeks after its release.

The band members each stated in interviews that, due in no small part to their collective push for sobriety, Dr. Feelgood was their most solid album musically to that point, and indeed, it was their best selling album to date.

The title track and " Kickstart My Heart " were both nominated for Grammys in the Best Hard Rock Category.

The band did find some success at the American Music Awards, as Dr. Feelgood was nominated twice for Favorite Hard Rock / Metal Award, losing once to Guns N ' Roses ' Appetite for Destruction, but winning the following year, beating out Aerosmith's Pump and Poison's Flesh And Blood.

Mötley Crüe was also nominated twice for Favorite Hard Rock / Metal Artist.
