I feel like music is kind of like a time travel machine: You can hear a song or even just reading this thread of the albums can send you back to a certain time or memory. It’s a wonderful thing.

I love 'live' albums, the same songs you know and love, just with a twist

Before the days on internet/online music being everywhere, I would only buy 'greatest hits' albums where every song was a well-known/popular song. Many bands would put out an album with maybe 1-3 hits and the rest seemed like 'filler' music no one every listened to. Which genre of music you happen to like probably determines the bands you like best.

Me too.

In my teens and my 20s i went to a LOT of music festivals and concerts of all sorts of genres. Id be at Ozzfest one week listening to heavy metal bands, then a chili cookoff listening to country and blue grass music, then a reggae fest.

Live albums take me back to those times. I close my eyes and pretend I'm there. A couple live albums i have i actually was there for the recording!!

I have often wondered why they did that. It was like they intentionally took the time to write bad/mediocre songs I would think it would take similar time to write and do a good song vs. intentionally poor songs.
