And if you disagree, let’s hear about it!! I was listening to one of my favorite l ive albums over the weekend and thought that I’d pass a dreary and wet day in New England by putting together a Top 25 Indispensable Live Albums of Classic Rock list. I had such a great reaction to the list of the favorite “THIRD ALBUMS” in Classic Rock, that I’m doing it again! Do you like countdowns? There’s always that air of mystery and impending excitement as we get closer to #1, but also outrage if your favorite is too far down on the list or not there at all.
