Abbey Road.

 

Take out Maxwell's Silver Hammer and Octopuses Garden. Add Hey Jude.

"Hey Jude" is a White Album era track.

 

The Beatles should have recorded a George song in place of "Maxwell's Silver Hammer" or "Octopus's Garden".

Steven Wilson - Hand. Cannot. Erase.

 

 

 

Remove Perfect Life: and the album would easily be one of my all time favorites

Rush - Hold Your Fire

 

 

 

Remove the last two songs, "High Water" and "Tai Shan" and this would rank up perfectly with
Power Windows
and
Grace Under Pressure
.

Alice Cooper - Love It To Death

 

Get rid of the cover of Sun Arise & this is the perfect 70s rock album

 

:clap:

Joe's Garage (acts I-III)

Either cut "Sy Borg" or shorten it.

 

The Incident (disc 1)

"Circle of Manias" and "I Drive The Hearse" -- these aren't bad songs, but without them as well as "The Seance" being the album's official ending the entire thing would be much more solid... Hell, even just through Circle of Manias / Hearse somewhere onto disc 2 and things would be better.

Every Eagles song. Take out all the vocals. And while you're at it, take out all the instrumentation too.

 

Perfect.

 

You are a waste of ears.

Preferably over an Eagles box set?

 

Not a fan either, I just couldn't resist it haha!

What's wrong with The Eagles?

 

Not much. Besides Don Henley.

 

Which deserves it's own thread.... Improve a Band by Removing a Member or Two.

I don't think I ever owned an Eagles album, but i did grow up with them.

 

What was wrong with his voice?

 

By the way, that would make a good thread for sure. Just what we need and have too little of here - controversy! ;)

His voice isn't what people generally dislike. It's well-known that Henley & Frey are a pair of arrogant shits. If you get a chance watch the documentary about the Eagles. They are absolutely awful, the pair of them.

The music is bland & beige. Taking something beautiful like country-rock and turning it onto snoozy, anodyne shite. No soul.

 

And of course, Don & Glenn are dreadful people. They seem to revel in being utter cockwazzers. That documentary is remarkable.

 

I'm a firm believer in love the art not the artist, but lucky for me their art is flat Fanta added to lukewarm piss & they're both utter bellends.
