Best album? Options

[Wendy]

Wich Live-album do you like most and why??

Mine is "The distance to here" simple reason : i was 16 and it was the first time i ever heard about Live... (ok,that's a lie,cuz when i see the video's of Freaks and I alone,i remember myself seeing those on MTV i was 10 years old and watched MTV all day with my big sister )
I think it's the best album they ever made...

As much as I like MJ and TDTH, Throwing Copper is hands down their best. Not for it's commercial success but it's overall flow and content. The album tells a story from start to finish and there is no filler whatsoever.

Songs like I Alone, White Discussion and Lightning Crashes are simply epic. The dam at otter creek is the best opener they have off any album. Then you have songs like Selling The Drama, Iris and Stage, which are all pretty damn good in their own right. I Alone, WD, LC and Pillar of Davidson are all extremely well written. The basslines in TBD and Stage are paralelled only by PLOTR off Mental Jewelry. Then you have a couple of catchy as hell songs in Waitress and Shit Towne. And Did I even mention All Over You yet???


While I agree that TDTH may be a little more pleasant to the ears, it comes nowhere even fucking close to being as good as Throwing Copper. This album was a masterpiece and the only nineties album to better it would most likely be TEN from Pearl Jam, and that's saying quite a bit. TC was their best album a trillion times over.
