I've captured myself constantly listening to their music and they are definitely among one of the most underrated/under-appreciated bands of all-time...
Most just think of "Cult of Personality" and "Glamour Boys" whenever they may come to mind, however, Living Colour is just beyond those 2 songs... True.. "Cult of Personality" is one of the best songs of the 80s, but just listen to their rest of their catalogue and you may be equally impressed....
Vernon Reid is one of the best lead-guitarist out there... Calhoun and Wimbish (who replaced Skillings) form an excellent rhythm section, and no way possibly would I forget to give credit toward Corey Glover..who is a top-notch vocalist/lyricist.....
Check-out the following concert website and do keyword search of Living Colour and you'll come across a sparkling performance from 11/01/04.. its amazing.... Contains most of their hits and also several songs from their last album.. 2004's "Collideøscope" (which I discussed underthis link: http://www.arizonasportsfans.com/vb/showthread.php?t=44270&highlight=living+colour).

That's the site that contains the particular concert along w/other memorable ones from other bands....
I would recommend anyone to check-out "Staind" (which is probably their least acclaimed album, but solid all through-out) and of course no one can go wrong w/"Vivid" & "Time's Up"....
I was privileged to see them live in '89 when they were opening up for the Rolling Stones on their "Steel Wheels" tour and I was just amazed on how incredible they are.......
Anyone else fans of their music? If not... you must really check them out.. they still rock after all these years.....
