Collective Soul October 19, 2007

With a seemingly endless supply of hooks and melodies, Collective Soul has captured the hard-rock crown of the '90s. Young, impassioned, and idealistic enough to want to understand the world fully before they die, the members of Live have gone from teenage upstarts to multi-million-selling stars in just a few short years. Led by the commanding voice of Ed Kowalczyk, this York, Pennsylvania, foursome has split the difference between the grandeur of eighties rock's more mainstream side and the agitated sound of nineties alternative.
