Last year's show was enjoyable because they embraced their age and were really comfortable with it. When Pete missed a note he even feigned some hilarious confusion for a moment.

They probably had the material for a good album in 1982, but the problem was splitting it between the Who and Pete's solo career. Otherwise, "The Sea Refuses No River," "Slit Skirts," "Athena" (or "Teresa"), "Eminence Front," "Cry If You Want," "Face Dances, Pt.2" and the B-side "Dance It Away" were all released in 1982 and were all solid cuts, IMHO. I'd add "Somebody Saved Me" but I much prefer the Who outtake from Face Dances (it should've been included on that album IMHO).

Agreed. Even decades later, long after their last enduring hits, the line-up with Warren Haynes and Derek Trucks was on-stage arguably every bit as great as the original.

Brothers of the Road is not that hot. It is their worst studio album.

Check that Live at the Warner Theater for a taste of what late model ABB sounded like on a good night.

Feel like should have included a Snoop album, like there's no way that one he did for No Limit could be any good.

xp That first reunion (1978-1982?) should never have happened, but I'm glad they gave it another shot many years later.

they certainly wouldn't include her on any best of lists xpost

That is pre-Anselmo Pantera.

Most Pantera fans will only ride for Power Metal cos he's on that one and it's more Priesty.

This is Pantera doing Foreigner rock

I wonder what that Paul McCarthy album sounds like.

also why are they picking on a random Stephanie Mills album lol

You know they misspelled Stephen Stills, right?

I know the thread authors are not responsible, since they are usually copying and pasting from another source, but why do 'worst ever' lists always have so many odd misspellings? Is it an intentional way to avoid getting swarmed by superfans? The Q - The Worst 50 Albums Ever poll featured nonexistent artists like "Mariah Cary", "Tim Machine", "Ace of Bass", "Fishspooner", and (still cannot believe this one) "Terence Trent Diabolical"; not to mention an imaginary album from Kula Shaker called "Peanuts, Pigs & Astronauts".

Didn’t even notice that! Copied the list from Reddit I think.

If they ever make a Velvet Goldmine type film about 80s electro-pop Tim Machine would be a good name for the main character.
