They were always so-so to me. But the part that bugs me is the direct correlation made between them and avant garde. I mean, if they had said they were a great rock band, I would just think to myself "eh, not quite" and move on. But to say a band like Live "serves to open pathways for us all to grow into newly emergent artistic, cultural, and intellectual possibilities—the most current embodiment of the Kosmic impulse to constantly go beyond what went before, adding brilliance and revelation to the deadening forms of the previous moment"? I don't think so.
