Does Live Get More Hate than the Average Band? Options

[Schlomo]

I'm sure there are a ton of band's from the 90's that people don't care for, but a lot of times if you mention Live people will laugh and call them terrible.

You have the hate from websites like Blender (any others?)

They get backhanded compliments from places like MTV for being the chick flick of rock bands.

On a basketball website I was participating in a song draft where try to pick the best songs of all time and somehow Live was brought up and the consensus was that they were awful.

Just my experience?

Live definitely gets more than its share of the hate.

I chalk it up to people (especially here in the States) going with the flow and trying to be trendy.

When things like American Idol, the Jonas Brothers, NASCAR, Britney Spears, all 1700 reality tv shows that are really garbage, all the really bad movies that still become popular - it makes you realize people never take the time to find the good things in life because they are too busy following the big crowd.

I am used to the hate. I love hockey - it doesn't even get a blip on anyone's radar here in the US, but I think it is far and away the best sport on the planet.

And then there is LIVE...my favorite band of all time - yet one of the most underrated and hated.

But who cares. I'll appreciate their music until I die.
