I am a devoted LIVE fan and I think it's pretty sad that you guys have nothing better to do that sit around a bash them. What are you doing with your life???? I think you all just need to get over yourselves! Find something important to talk about. -- Lele
This basically sums up my image of the typical Live fan.

the video for "I Alone" is hysterical, especially with the sound turned off.

if I were to try to defend Live, I guess I'd say that their big songs (I've never heard the albums) were full of angry groaning that could conceivably get you pumped up as you got ready to play basketball.

37. "Lightning Crashes," LiveTrue story: Just after I’d moved to Los Angeles a decade or so ago, I met some friends for drinks at Barney’s Beanery, a giant, noisy West Hollywood bro-bar that smells like how they describe Valerie Cherish’s trailer on the new season of The Comeback. It was karaoke night, which it somehow almost always is there, and sometime around midnight we all heard the opening chords to “Lightning Crashes.” “Oh, dear God,” I said. “Who would do this?” And seriously: Who wants to sing a song about death in childbirth underneath a TV with SportsCenter on it? Who gets drunk and sings the word placenta? I turned toward the stage and felt a twinge of recognition, and when he began singing, it hit me: The person who would unleash Live’s “Lightning Crashes” on a karaoke night crowd was Live’s own Ed Kowalczyk. I walked toward the stage in disbelief, as did about half the crowd. And as he sang, we all scanned each other’s faces for cues so we’d know how to react: Like, is this the coolest thing we have ever experienced, or is it unspeakably sad? You guys, I still have no idea.

5. "All Over You," LiveNow, if I were Ed Kowalczyk, and I were meeting friends for draft beers and potato skins at a bar that smells like throw-up, and it were karaoke night, and I were determined to sing my own song, I’d go with this one. This is your crowd-pleaser, Kowalczyk; keep your placenta to yourself.

Listening to Ed Kowalczyk sing "drunk on your juuuuuices" in "Turn My Head" is an excellent natural emetic.

ok, as per the premise of the thread : the opening 3 mins of 'the dam at otter creek' is rather good .. the rest of the song is standard college rock, but those gated drums and atmospherics in the build up are kinda cool.
