Check out the Top 10 Rock Genre CD's/LP's/Downloads for this week THE ALBUM OF THE DAYLIVING COLOUR...Vivid (1988)Vivid, the debut album from Living Colour, was released 25 years ago today in 1988. It reached number 6 on the U.S. Billboard album charts. I give this a 3 out of 5 stars. In 1988 the hard rock/heavy metal scene was being dominated by the Guns 'N' Roses/Cinderella/Poison/Motley Crue crowd. Then came along Living Colour. They were different and unique but yet MTV and the public accepted them. I thought they were a jammin' band. The single "Cult Of Personality" was for sure the highlight of the album. I quite enjoyed "Open Letter (To A Landlord)" also. "Funny Vibe was the only track I couldn't get into, otherwise a different and unique and exciting album for 1988(CD, vinyl, Allmusic review)ROCK BIRTHDAYS FOR MAY 3Mary Hopkin is 63; David Immerglück of the Counting Crows is 52; Josey Scott, formerly with Saliva, is 42;ON THIS DATE1969 Jimi Hendrix is arrested in Toronto for possesion of narcotics1974 Led Zeppelin launches its Swan Song label1976 Paul McCartney makes his first U.S. stage appearance in a decade as the “Wings Over America” tour opens in Ft.
