Well I like 'When I was born . . .', and it's grown on me the more I've

I completely agree with this sentiment: TWHF and Patience sounded like nothing
I'd heard before (probably my ignorance showing!) wheras GDBG, glorious though
it is, doesn't have the same passion. First albums are often the best.
On the live vs. studio point, can anybody name bands who *do* sound better on
record? (Apart from the obvious Milli Vanilli and Spice Girls.)
