Living Colour – Vivid (CD, 1988, Epic EK 44099)

Why This CD Matters
Vivid helped redefine heavy rock in the late 1980s by blending hard rock, funk, metal, punk, and socially conscious songwriting into a groundbreaking debut album. Featuring the Grammy-winning “Cult Of Personality,” the record became a landmark release in the funk metal and alternative hard rock movement. Living Colour’s musicianship and genre fusion also influenced many rock and metal acts that followed in the 1990s.
