Top Live studio albums, ** Update ** With final totals ... Options

[T.B.D]

I have a feeling many of these will be similar, but thought it would be interesting to see where everyone ranked Live's studio albums ...

1. Throwing Copper
2. Secret Samadhi
3. V
4. Mental Jewelry
5. The Distance to Here
6. Songs from Black Mountain
7. Birds of Pray

I said it in another post, but Simple Creed is still one of my top five songs. And Overcome was so powerful here in the US, I had to put V up there. As for SFBM not being last, for some reason I like Wings and Get Ready a lot. Sophia live is still awesome (or was awesome anyways).

I wish we could take SFBM off the Live catelog! Let Ed have that garbage since he is fighting so hard for it. Just an embarrasement to call that a Live record.

You know what I hate about that album (other than the music)? The fact that somebody decided to use the font and color that was used on the Throwing Copper album for the band name.

EDIT: Based on curiosity, I went looking at the Wikipedia entry for SFBM and found this crap in the "background" section,

Live signed with Epic Records in 2005, having left Radioactive after the release of their 2003 album, Birds of Pray.[1] Singer Ed Kowalczyk explained that Songs from Black Mountain is in the same vein as Birds of Pray, "The album itself kind of took its lead from where we were with Birds of Pray, which was just a really basic, stripped [approach]...It's just amazing. It's just a great album and the excitement level of [Epic] and the band, everybody is just really pretty blown away by it."[2]

Somebody needs to go graffiti that entry...
