I must say, “Innuendo” was Queen’s best album since the 70s, Freddie gave it all he had.

[dfwgator]

“Made in Heaven” really shouldn’t count, by the way.

[T.B. Yoits]

Led Zeppelin’s ‘Coda’.

[mylife]

there is some good stuff on the list and other stuff that would never grace my turntable.

[bigbob]

Isn’t that always true when people compare opinions about music?

[dfwgator]

Doesn’t count.

[mylife]

absolutely

David Bowie ’70s recordings announced for new compilation

“In Through The Out Door” was, I think, their best album ever.

[circlecity]

That was a good one as are a couple other ones on the list. For the most part though, the list shows how the later stuff of great bands pales in comparison to their early works.

[caver]

Interesting list.....

[Sirius Lee]

“Love Beach” by ELP. Just kidding. That sucked.

[Dr. Sivana]

Rock and Roll Hall of Famer Del Shannon's "Rock On" is missing.

[rarestia]

While not on the list, I wish Guns & Roses had quit at Use Your Illusion II. The subsequent albums by Axl were a pale comparison to the greatness of GnR.

[Fresh Wind]

Rock and Roll Hall of Famer Del Shannon's "Rock On" is missing.

Did it run away?

[mylife]

I never liked Axl

[ZirconEncrustedTweezers]

GnR peaked with Appetite For Destruction. But if they'd edited the Use Your Illusion albums down to a single disc, it probably could have at least equaled that peak.

And The Spaghetti Incident? should have been aborted.

[ZirconEncrustedTweezers]

I know they’ve released albums since then, but Alice In Chains’s self-titled album marks the end of the band with Layne Staley. AIC with William Duvall is still pretty good, but it doesn’t have quite the same feel.

[bagadonutz]

CCR’s Mardis Gras is actually a pretty good Americana album. Definitely not as good as Cosmo’s Factory or any of the earlier albums but still worth listening. It’s funny how John Fogerty gave up after listening to the other guy’s whine about Fogerty getting all the song writing credits ($) so he let them write songs on the album. “Sweet Hitch Hiker” is one of his contributions and one of their best songs.
