    Most of these fall into the "improve" bucket, with Sammy and Brian, being portal moves to save bands from implosion.

    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.

    Can't believe we haven't mined this topic yet @RaceBannon in the 6 years my shoppe has been in bidness.

    But with all the transfer portal hawt talk, now is as good as time as any.

    I would say when Chevy Chase left Leather Cannary is a close Portal second.

    Mick Taylor to The Rolling Stones
    Agree about Neil P...A great list for sure, I've gotta go with Mick Taylor because the Stones were about to go into free-fall, IMO. "No Jones No Stones" had checked out well before, and Mick was a key component to their four greatest albums. I don't think he "reinvented" the Stones, but inspired them to what could be going forward.

    Also, Rod and Ronnie took the Small Faces in a different direction than Mariott...

    I don't view Mick Taylor as "saving" the Stones, per se. They had already started the GOAT 4 Album run with Beggars (Ry Cooder helped that one a bit) and Mick's contributions to Let it Bleed were minimal. But what he did do was enable them to get back on the road (Brian was done as a player and had too many legal issues) and enable them to take things to their greatest ever work with Sticky Fingers and Exile.

    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.

    Ry Cooder is massively underrated. His sessions on Begger's were spechul!

    I've got 3 Ry Cooder LP's in my collection, plus the Taj Mahal stuff he played on.

    Love me some Ry.

    Paradise and Lunch is a GOAT album.

    Brian Johnson to AC DC

    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

    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.
