I believe a purchase of this particular album encouraged Dave Gahan to clean up his act in the 80s.Dr. Medulla wrote: ↑18 Sep 2018, 12:14pmTo do what?BostonBeaneater wrote: ↑18 Sep 2018, 12:08pmHow could you miss this? It's the album that inspired Depeche Mode!

Re: Music opinion/question of the week...
I agree. All Things Must Pass is easily the best solo post-Beatles album. I also like Living in the Material World...which I think is generally underrated.JoseUnidos wrote: ↑18 Sep 2018, 11:49amI vote John as well - on the whole I think his post-Beatles stuff was more musically adventurous than his ex-bandmates. If I had to pick the best solo post-Beatles album it'd be All Things Must Pass, hands-down.

Saw that in the theatre when I was twelve. I barely knew who Ringo was, but I loved it. Whether I'd still love it is another question entirely.

Their first solo albums show they had one good Beatles LP left. Then the tank would have showed signs of emptiness.

Re: Music opinion/question of the week...
Well, maybe. I tend to think that, however subconsciously, the pushed each other when they were together, improving their talents and stifling their weaknesses. I'd really like to think that John could have reined in the worst of Paul's goopiness.Silent Majority wrote: ↑18 Sep 2018, 1:55pmTheir first solo albums show they had one good Beatles LP left.
