Biography

Live rose to chart success on the strength of its anthemic music and idealistic, overtly spiritual songwriting, two hallmarks which earned the group frequent comparisons to U2. Their 1991 debut, Mental Jewelry, made Live one of the key players in the post-Nirvana alternative music scene thanks to singles like "Operation Spirit (The Tyranny of Tradition)" and "Pain Lies on the Riverside." Three years later, Live returned with the muscular Throwing Copper, which eventually pushed the group into the rock mainstream; the album's slow build climaxed with the funereal "Lightning Crashes," which propelled the album to the top of the charts. ~ Jason Ankeny
