Live really were the first, the beginning of the downfall. I say that all the time, but I could really feel (in 1994 or whenever that album started to get hot) that this was the first of the music I really despised -- something I could see through, something that made me angry, something that was a hundred times worse than what was on the pop charts because its principal avatars KNEW better.
This may be the most insincere thing I've ever read.
