I'm a huge Joe Walsh fan, but I can't think of another guy who did more than Neil Peart to take a band to the next level.
But with all the transfer portal hawt talk, now is as good as time as any.
Also, Rod and Ronnie took the
SmallFaces in a different direction than Mariott...The first album with Ronnie and Rod was still under the "Small" Faces title by the way. Imagine a world where Rod doesn't want to go solo and is content as the leader of a band called the Faces. Ties Buffalo Springfield staying together and adding Nash and Crosby in the portal as my all time favorite band that could have been.
Love me some Ry.
Paradise and Lunch is a GOAT album.
People thought AC/DC peaked with Highway to Hell and they were done for. Then they had their biggest album and one of the biggest in rock history.
it’s a feat of transfer portal brilliance that on one has ever matched.
Different scenario than my Peart vote though.
I wanted to hate Brian Johnson but the Young brothers really stepped it up with irresistible hooks and power chords
What about Ed King in Skynyrd?
Bruce Dickinson - Iron Maiden
Ed was in Skynyrd though before they released their first album.
Maybe if Steve Gaines doesn’t sell the couch and they have a late 70s or early 80s album on par with Pronounced or 2nd helping.
Does John Frusciante count either time?
yes, but I don’t think of this example as being as momentous as the others.
