If Live were to stop making music here and now, what would be their defining song, to you?

By that, I mean what song will you always remember them by, always feel the most emotionally tied to, and always have the strongest memories of?

For me it would be Lightning Crashes. It's the song that I literally became addicted to when I first heard it on the radio, and therefore the song that made me buy Throwing Copper and eventually led me to my decade+ obsession with the band.

I don't know if I would have ever gotten into Live at all if not for that song. It's probable, because I've liked so much of their stuff since, but there have been none that I have LOVED upon first listen like I did with LC!

Lightning Crashes for me too even though i don't listen to it as much but it was the first Live song i heard that really separated this band from the rest for me. It said it all that this band would not typically be one of those bands focused only on romantic themes.
The Lyrics and the vocals ( the rawness of it) just grabbed me and from then i was a total Live junkie. A fan for life!

I voted for the Beauty of Gray for one reason.

To me, Live was a band that had some pretty strong messages and themes to their music. I loved that about them from the get go. They had balls and weren't afraid to sing about religious themes, songs about love on a different level and in this case, racism.

I find it ultimately clever and riveting for that reason. Never mind that such great lyrics were written and sung by a 19 year old. It set the stage for them to be a band with a message, a band with the balls to put it out there knowing it would draw ridicule. That song completely defines what this band was to me.

Until V hit and then it all went to shit. surrender.gif
