Live - Throwing Copper

April 23, 2024 09:00 - 22 minutes - 21 MB

Throwing copper was one of the most played albums of 1994 and 1995. Philosophical lyrics and intriguing themes fill this album that was vastly different from most popular albums of the time. The band Live is kind of an underdog story because of how the record company / MTV treated them and somehow they still managed to put this album together. --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/album4theday/message Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/...
