Only Dave era for me. I left the band in 85 along with him. I also never followed Dave either. They were such a great band. Unfortunately, I only saw them once way back in 1984. They opened with “Unchained” and the show was awesome. Fair Warning is my favorite album and to me is very underrated.
Unchained is a banger of an opener.

May be my favorite by them, period.

I saw them in 2012 with Wolfie on bass in Manchester.

Their "eponymous" first album (1978) was a much needed shot 💉 🥃 of adrenaline at the time.

Predictablely for someone who didn't follow them closely or buy all their albums, that record and "1984" are my favorites.

"Unchained" (which I always thought was "Change," as it might as well be) is certainly a good one.

Some perhaps lesser known gems,





"Have you seen Junior's grades?"







PS I actually bought the infamous "5150" ('86). Not that I have in the nearly forty years since, but if I heard "Why Can't This Be Love?" or "Dreams" again, I wouldn't barf.

Thank you for posting.

I am a huge Beatles fanatic nerdlinger, but don't listen to their music regularly.

"Sexy Sadie" is an all-time favorite and IMHO one of John's best.

He was persuaded, doubtless by the Apple 🍏 legal department (assuming they had one), to change the original title, "Maharishi."

Speaking of same, Jim Morrison looked into his eyes and decided he was happy,
