Hold back. An album of that calibur doesn't deserve an 'archive' label.

Isn't it already old enough to be classified as a classic? What's the policy here?

Classic = 10 years old. Archives are anything released more than a year ago to the day.

The Gorguts has been released in 98, it can be a classic then.

I think Rio was talking about waiting until there's a free classic slot, we have a policy of a maximum of one a week, too, and I think someone may have already written one...

Well, I don't use to agree with TheOctavarius, but that's an exception.

CLASSIC, not archive.

(Well, after that, Angel Witch, Angel Witch, Angel Witch... and Thin Lizzy's Jailbreak! )

Actually thought about doing Live & Dangerous by Thin Lizzy... Anyone up for that? By far one of the best live albums ever..

I'd go with Black Rose personally...

Does an album really need to have been out ten years for it to be a classic? I think five years would be much more approriate...

"Classic" does seem to imply, to me at least, that's it's been out for a while and is generally acknowledged as an excellent album. Is there that much good stuff from 2004 that can't just go under Archive?

Indeed I was... how does it work? (you can PM or whatever if that's better)

Some early Scorpions is mandatory.
Roth/Schenker & Schenker/ Jabs' pants-creaming licks abide.

errr.. heh hehe

Deep Purple Live in Japan

Please

Lucifer's Son · **Joined:** Mon Jan 05, 2009 9:52 pm **Posts:** 2016

Live in Japan or Made in Japan?
Anyway, both are overrated... :rolleyes:

If another live from Deep Purple must be reviewed either as an archive or a classic, I'd better see their neat '96 live at The Olympia (Paris).

DevotedWalnut · **Posted:** Fri Jan 16, 2009 12:37 am

Live in Japan from 72'

and it's far from overrated, nobody talks about it on this site. So as far as I see it's underrated.

That's not Made In Japan?
That's the version I've got, the 25 anniversary edition.

For me a great record live... my fav 5 live albums are all from the 70's.

In order:

1 - Judas Priest - Unleashed In The East (1979) the best life album of all times.
2 - Thin Lizzy - Live And Dangerous (1978)
3 - Scorpions - Tokio Tapes (1978)
4 - U.F.O. - Strangers In The Night (1978)
5 - Deep Purple - Made In Japan (1972)

All 5, imo, deserve classic status.[/img]

That picture is too big! :mad:

Plus, you missed some awesome live albums:

Rainbow "On Stage" (1977)
The Who "Live At Leeds" (1970)
MSG "One Night At Budokan" (1982)
Cheap Trick "At Budokan" (1979)
AC/DC "If You Want Blood...You've Got It" (1978)

:wink:

I've edited the image. sorry, I didn't notice it was so big.

Yeah, they are awesome, (well, I've not listened the Cheap Trick & The Who ones) but my five 5 is my fav 5. (On Stage is the 6th)

And there're more as great, as:
Thin Lizzy - Live - Life (1983), Irom maiden - Live After Death (1983) or Queen - Live Killers (1973).

DevotedWalnut · **Posted:** Fri Jan 16, 2009 10:25 pm

Well fix my knickers, I messed up.

I guess it is Made in Japan, how the hell did I screw that one up?

Oh well...

Another classic live album is Rainbow -- On Stage, like Damian said.

I would like to suggest a magnificent gem that never gets its due respect and attention:

Rough Cutt: Rough Cutt

This was a mid/late 80's masterpiece IMO that is great from start to finish. The band quickly dissolved after their 2nd CD and the singer (Paul Shortino) did a quick stint in Quiet Riot. He was also featured in Dio's "Stars" project.

Sounds an awful lot like Ratt (of which three of the numbers were part) but Shortino has a better voice than Pearcy.
