40 BEST ROCK ALBUMS OF 2001 - V Options

[Hoodstock]

Found this list at the end of an article on Weezer. Live's V made the cut.


Live, 'V'
Sometimes plans don’t work out quite like you expected. Such was the case with Live’s fifth album, V, which was never meant to be an album. The group had intended to release the collection of songs for free ahead of working on their next album before their label got involved and urged them to release the songs as a full record. In the end, the album received mixed reviews and saw a bit of a commercial drop-off. It still yielded some successful songs, though. “Simple Creed” featured a guest turn by trip-hop king Tricky, hitting No. 11 on the Mainstream Rock Chart. Ed Kowalczyk returned the favor appearing on Tricky’s Blowback album. The piano ballad “Overcome” also proved to be the right song at the right time picking up steam as a single in the aftermath of 9/11. Other highlights included “Deep Enough” and “Forever May Not Be Long Enough.”
