The houselights go down and the butane lighters go up.

I came across Stylus Magazine's Top 50 live albums list and found it to be lacking in some areas, yet all of the top 10 have much merit. I'm not a big Talking Heads fan and they managed to have two albums in the top 50 + Bob Dylan (one of the most erractic live performers ever) has 2 albums in the top 50.

Here is the LIST (http://www.stylusmagazine.com/articles/weekly_article/stylus-magazines-top-50-live-albums-of-all-time.htm), I could've easily bumped a dozen off that top 50.

here are a few noticeable missing albums,

Get Yer Ya Ya's Out - Rolling Stones
Cheap Trick At Budokan - Cheap Trick
Jimi Plays Monterey - Jimi Hendrix (Wild Thing is one of live music's finest moments IMHO)

Good Golly. I didn't know that Stop Making Sense was re-released with extra tracks. It always bothered me that they left the best songs from the movie off the soundtrack. I just ordered that sucker from Amazon. Thanks yeahwho!

Does anyone have the Kraftwerk album? I always assumed it had to suck. The very idea of it is ridiculous.

Thanks for the link!

I was a little sad the Ramones "It's Alive" didn't make it. Only really considering that some bands got 2 mentions.
