Ok BradH and 3 Lock, here's one from a band that everyone knows, and a record I'm sure you've heard more than a few times over the years. As I mentioned, there's really only one remaining that you may consider obscure, at least my Rave Rec standards. In any event, I hope this one draws decent attention so I have some incentive for continuing (wink, wink, nudge, nudge).

14) Live At Leeds--The Who: Before this album, the Who had never sounded like this. Not on record. It was like they had this whole other side to them that they were hiding from the world at large, but that their true fans always knew about. They were one of those bands who took advantage of the idea that they could buy bigger amps and therefore be louder than everyone else. And since their drummer was certifiably insane--and yet always right on time--they had an edge over everyone else

Loud? Without a doubt. Great? Unquestionably, and it was their only live recording released while they were still together and recording.It was all of 6 tracks long (the remastered version added 8 more plus expanded the original 6), including a 14+ minute My Generation. This one is certainly worthy of anyone's 'Top 25' list.

Swish - won't get fooled again
