OT: Still Great, just different

Unexpected and most enjoyable response.

The 1972-74 Feats trio of releases is my favorite, same time period, applying as well for Stevie Wonder and Steely Dan, come to think of it. Studio releases by the Stones dropped off after Exile, until Some Girls

Those 3 feat records are untouchable. Song for song untouchable. Great comparison to Stevie. FFF is my sleeper favorite stevie Album from that period.
I don't think steely dan made an average record until everything must go. Every Record is gem after gem. Gaucho and Royal Scam are my 2 favorites if I had to pick though.
I would've agreed about the stones until Blue&Lonesome. IMO it's one of the best late releases of any classic band. (David Crosby and Tom Petty later years records are top notch too)

I’ll throw in John Ritter and Tim Allen for funny men. Big Genesis fan and prefer the earlier proggy stuff but I’m not sure is because of Gabriel so much as the music. Although Mama was my fav song for awhile, I gravitate towards Firth of Fifth and Suppers Ready a lot. For another proggy band, I’d say Rutsey —> Neil Peart worked out pretty well for Rush.

Poor Rutsey. That first album is still a classic though, so good for him.
I say Supper's Ready is the second best prog song ever. Hearing Gabriel say "A flower??" is enough for it to qualify. (Close to the Edge holds the top spot in my heart)

When I saw the title of this thread I thought it was a slogan for a new consumer product. Like the failed marketing of New Coke in 1985.

New Coke: The Most Memorable Marketing Blunder Ever?

On April 23, 1985, The Coca-Cola Company took arguably the biggest risk in consumer goods history. Check out this story and more news from The Coca-Cola Company.

Lots of obscure references into darker heavy metal with swapping of instrumentalists I could go through but hey

As a more accessible example, Robert Trujillo after Jason Newstead after Cliff Burton saw zero drop off in bass play for Metallica

And many many examples of drummers I could go over lol like Mangini after Portnoy for Dream Theater, Alan Cassidy after Shannon Lucas for Black Dahlia Murder…

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:
Stanley and Helen Roper (Norman Fell and Audra Lindley) were replaced by Ralph Furley (Don Knotts)
Chrisy (Suzanne Somers) was replaced by Cindy (Jenilee Harrison) and Terri (Priscilla Barnes)

Charlie's Angels
Farrah replaced by Cheryl Ladd
They also added Shelley Hack and Tanya Roberts
Farrah was Farrah but Cheryl Ladd was a great addition.

Finally, the Stooges.
One simply does not replace Curly
