Throwing Copper...

still have Lightning Crashes playing in my mp3 mix.

EDIT>> Apparently I traded away the CD... what else was good on it ?
 
reminds me of pearl jam. I just don't think live will ever live up to "throwing copper", just like pearl jam can never surpass "ten". especially since live went god squad.
 
"vs" was better than "ten" imo but I'll agree with you on Live. "Throwing Copper" will never be topped by Live.

"I Alone" and "Selling the Drama" are the other well-known songs from the album.

Superunknown was great, indeed, but it was a hard rock album. Throwing Copper was excellent in its own right. Lightning Crashes was the big hit, but there were some other great songs on the album. I Alone, Iris, All Over You, and my fav, Selling the Drama.

The entire album is excellent.

My favorites that weren't released are "Waitress" and "Pillar of Davidson".

Yeah...I got to see them perform Pillar of Davidson a few years back...it was awesome hearing Ed really get into it.

My personal favorite was Sh!t Town. They were referring to their home town in PA....I forget the exact name. Great song though.

Soundgarden was similar to Live in that Superuknown could never be surpassed as Throwing Copper could not. Despite Soundgarden breaking up long ago, Chris Cornell's projects just don't live up to the days of Superunknown.

As for Pearl Jam, I agree, Ten was definitely their best album, however, Vs. and Vitalogy were right up there. After the third disc I think they lost a lot of their momentum. Still a great band though....seen them twice live.

Personally, I think Alice in Chains takes the cake for me with regard to bands of the 90's. Jar of Flies is the best selling EP EVER. 7 songs of pure brilliance. Not to mention Dirt, Facelift, and the Title album sounding incredible and way ahead of their time even for the early to mid-90's.

RIP Layne Staley!!!

I love all those PJ albums, but I think Yield might be my favorite. And also I agree Jar of Flies is incredible. I have it on vinyl. Trust me you need to hear Rotten Apple on Vinyl. The intro so freaking awesome.
 
I used to be a major fan of live until they came out with V... what is with the indy sounding stuff.

I remember when I drove to Montreal to see them on their 00' tour with the Counting Crows- we had an insider source tell us when Ed K. would be interviewing so my buddies and I went and got our picture snapped with him, real nice guy.

Yeah, I agree, Yield is a pretty good album as well. I guess it's just not as nostalgic to me as the first three.

Where did you find a vinyl copy of Jar of Flies?? I would kill for one of those copies. AIC is one of my favorite bands of all time. I couldn't imagine the Unplugged album on Vinyl either. That would be friggin sweet.

It is a double record set. It opens two fold like a book. One half is Jar of Flies the Other is Sap. Since Sap is so short, it is a one-sided record. On the reverse side there are all these random deep scratch marks on it. It looks like someone went crazy with a knife. At first I thought it was defective, but when you hold it back the scratch free areas spell out Alice in Chains. It is pretty cool looking.
