Well their other albums could certainly fit under that description.  I would only suggest checking out The Holy Bible, but I strongly suggest doing so.

Interesting phrase "Wrote them off as an Oasis type band...".

On the basis of their music alone, I don't think Oasis can be considered "writeoffable", as they have produced much classic (if strongly derivative) rock

The Manics OTOH have found a more unique and interesting style - although perhaps a little inconsistent in terms of songwriting quality. That said, when the Manics produce something good, it's extremely good!

Yep- the "Holy Bible" stuff does sound quite interesting- aggresive and smart. The sort of direction I wished Suede had taken after their first album. Thanks for the info!

Oh yeah, never did have a taste for Oasis myself but I didn't mean "write off" to take a jab at the band specifically- just referring to all the rip-off artists that came out afterwards trying to sound like them. I never say anything bad about the brothers- for one thing, you never know when they might be listening, and at least one of them packs a mean punch

Space Ritual is defininetly one of the greatest live albums. It is probably the only conceptual live album apart from The Chronicles of the Black Sword also by Hawkwind. Pink Floyd Does Dark Side in it`s enirety on Pulse. I am also an Elvis fan and have a few of his live stuff. I like the way he would always begin the shows with Also Sprach Zarathustra theme. Aloha From Hawii is probably my favourite liv Elvis album.

All Night Wrong from Allan Holdsworth is one of the best live recordings I've ever heard. Except for a bit of crowd noise at the end of each track, you would think is was a studio album. I should also mention that AH totally burns up the fret-board as though tomorrow was going to be permanently cancelled. Stellar.

I understand the point of this topic, but I can't imagine Landberk (whose musical taste is very close to mine) listening to a Kiss album.

I haven't done that in a while!  At least since I was like 10 or 12 years old... (the vinyl should be around somewhere though... ) It's all about life stages, and I think I successfully surpassed my KISS one

I know, I know!!!     I was into KISS, I admit it! Not anymore... (but it's hard not to mentally sing a song of them when it's playing on the radio though! and after all those years!  )

For what it's worth, the big live album when I was in high school was Ozzy's "Tribute"...I and almost every other adolescent metalhead out there was convinced of Randy Rhoads' genius (hmm...), and it brought the Ozz-man back from his second career slump. Looking back, it's not all that major a release, but if you're not completely sick of Mr. Osbourne yet, it's still a fun collection of earlier Ozzy/ classic Sabbath tracks.

I feel duty bound to mention "Uriah Heep live , 1973" in this thread, one of the finest live albums ever released. It captured them at their absolute peak.
