Originally found by The Rolling Stones frontman Mick Jagger, Living Colour's debut album Vivid produced one of the biggest hard rock song's of all time. The track opens the record and is the first thing that comes up when someone mentions Living Colour. "Cult of Personality" won the the best Hard Rock song in 1989 and definitely has one of the best solos I've ever heard. I believe they were the first or one of the very first all black heavy metal bands and the album dealt with racism and equality. The music is a blend of jazz,punk,funk with there hard sound. Going through the album once again, I'm surprised how nice the album flows like it's a complete album. I know they've always been consistent but the variety of the musicianship is awesome.
