And why does it always get a parenthetical “Live” now? Like is there some not live version about?

Should Running on Empty now be Running on Empty (some of its live)? Kiss - Alive is now Kiss - A”live”?

You ripped that off the back of my jean jacket.

Like was there a class action suit because audiophiles were like I was lied to, no one told me this was live?

 

[TrainFan73]

Also, why is Lawyers in Love streaming in cd quality but I can do 24/196 of Run DMC and fucking MC5?

 

[jamieanderson1968]

A visceral gut punch (MC5 not Jackson Browne). 5/5

I think High Time is a better record, but Jams is absolutely intense. It is a manifesto to “f@cking you up and getting high”.

 

[Whiteout75]

Kick Out The Jams by MC5 sounds like it should be one of them 80’s electro hip hop things like Pump Up The Volume.

By some weird coincidence or some kind of unknown binding in cosmos, the Bad Brains cover of "Kick out the jams" actually features in a climactic scene in the high school movie "Pump Up the Volume" with Christian Slater. Don't ask me how I know this.

Or what the hell....the film is awesome and so is the soundtrack.

This book loves them some 70's (though I guess this is technically 60's) live albums don't they?

The book loves some 90s BritPop which is the only thing that truly seems a little whacky compared to other lists.

I love me some 90's Brit Pop. Rough sounding live albums are just OK.

Honestly I feel it’s kind of refreshing. The pro American bias on here, particularly with trash like grunge and hair metal, is really stark and stifling.

Grunge is meaningless, how can it be trash?

The American-centric focus of this book is infuriating.

That said, MC5 rages full on!!

I think it does have a British contributing author/editor because it is at least represented.

Calm down I think the UK music scene is hardly marginalized here or anywhere else.

An American would say that. In reality I don’t claim marginalised, more an afterthought or not taken seriously once you drop to the level below the behemoths.
