I prefer it that way too. I just find the bands I like the most impressed me more live. The aforementioned Envy on the Coast have a very "recorded in the same room" sound for their first album, and watching them live with proper sound engineering blew my mind. Most other bands have disappointed me live, but knowing there is that dichotomy just makes me so curious about what everybody else's percentage is, or what bands they feel the same way about. You mentioned classic rock?
