Disagree on The Office. It just wasn’t the same once Michael left and I lost interest. I loved that show.
I'm a big fan of AC/DC but I always felt Brian Johnson had to work too hard to sing in that manner. It's probably not the case because if it were that difficult, he wouldn't have been able to do it for so long. But it does look painful. Bon Scott had a very distinctive voice and I think Johnson tried to copy it.
I would suggest that Genesis going to Collins was comparable. Far more commercially successful with Collins.
Robert California defines "different but still great." Michael Scott could not be replaced but The ****ing Lizard King character and his propensity for easter european women, classic. Extremely Obnoxious.
I did not know that. so did Bon Scott pull over on the highway to hell and phone the boys "go get that bloke from Gordie"
Yeah, I kinda got that. Where is the authority @August_West in this thread? I give those bands credit in the old days. They're out there performing and the audience is sitting there like they're at a funeral service. The Goodbye Love video.
Some lead singers are so unique that bands simply couldn't replace them. GNR didn't lose Axl but he was certainly one of those lead singers.
The ratings for Cheers definitely dipped the year after Shelly Long left the show.
I'd actually thought in that direction after I re-redirected from TV shows to bands, but I haven't followed football closely in too long to recall if Montana & Young, or Favre & Rodgers were directly consecutive, after my first football memories were Connelly to Tittle.There are probably more (Sayers->Payton?), but, again, I didn't want to start looking things up, and I'd decided that Lowell George was where I'd draw the line on bands, not mentioning Duane Allman, or making obscure reference to the Butts Band, or dismissing the Foo Fighters, or wondering about Dave Alvin before the Blasters, bands populated with Modern Lovers alums, and way too many permutations across way too much cultural terrain.
Unexpected and most enjoyable response.
Not to mention the Allman Brothers.... At some point, bands become cover bands or self-tribute bands...
Those 3 feat records are untouchable. Song for song untouchable. Great comparison to Stevie. FFF is my sleeper favorite stevie Album from that period.
Poor Rutsey. That first album is still a classic though, so good for him.

This is totally OT and maybe should be its own thread, but you got me thinking: What is the greatest year in music history? I say '73, but you could make great arguments for '67 and '71, as well. What say you, Boneyard?
John Ritter was good. Speaking of which:
