Live will probably be nominated in 2021. They have some RRHOF criteria creating 2 epic albums Mental Jewelry & Throwing Copper. I Alone, Lightning Crashes,Pain Lies On The Riverside, Selling The Drama were Classic songs.

For a sliver of time 1994-1995 after they released Throwing Copper,Live was one of the hottest bands on MTV & in America. Ed K. was one of the strongest vocalists of his time.

Don't know what killed Live.I guess creative differences & Ed exploring his spirituality. It is so difficult for bands to stay around 30-40 years.The ones that can still be making hits & get along after 40 yrs usually make it to RRHOF. KING

I would put Live's Throwing Copper song for song as one of the best 90's. With Reckless Bryan Adams and Def Leppard Pyromania as a KING FAV. I think Live will be nominated but I don't know if they get inducted.Interesting group. You thought after the powerful Mental Jewelry and the brilliant Throwing Copper that Live was going to be unstoppable. I was in military most of the 90's. Don't know how LIVE was innovative or influential. KING

In my humble opinion, (a pretentious intro that only Enig can truly own) Live (the band) is vastly underrated as a great 90's band. Nirvana and Pearl Jam get the headlines, but Live was right there with Smashing, Alice in Chains, and Soundgarden in quality and output. I'd put Mental Jewelry and Throwing Copper against anything the aforementioned bands released in the early-90's, including the very good but overrated "Nevermind".

More deserving than many, for sure. "Throwing Copper" is an essential album, but I doubt they're prolific or original enough to make it in easily.

And Justin....

Live is certainly not classed "Christian Rock". Not even close.

Did Live sing a song called "Pain Lies On The Riverside"?

Would've been easy enough to google it, but yes, they did that one.

Their artistry should get them in.
