ElricWhat song do you think was Eno's greatest achievement this year @RVI @Aruji @Noir
Probably On Some Faraway Beach, but Needles in the Camel’s Eye was the most impactful for me personally. Listening to that intro in my teens was like getting cold water thrown on me. Such a killer song.

You know they're German right? That always set them far apart from the hair metal bands for me even though it's hard to tell from the music
took a little while for him to grow on me but Klaus Meine's accented singing and imperfect English lyrics
he's got a weird power about him most hard rock singers don't

FellaTheir first record is so f***ing good that I’ve always been nervous about the 2nd one. They get at such a specific mood on that album. It’s like filtering the spirit of Under My Thumb era Stones through a glam show going on in some dingy alleyway.
You’ve never heard their second album?

kneeskinda, idk when i think of hair metal, s*** like Mötley Crüe or Poison come to mind. They did lean into that sound in the 80s (rock you like a hurricane etc.) but tbh i always liked their 70's output more anyway.
yeah im with you more on this. I definitely think there's a lot of commercial 80s hard rock that's not necessarily glam/"hair" outside of the look. Scorpions also a big influence for that whole spectrum of 80s styles anyway from hard rock to glam metal to heavy metal
and Uli Jon Roth era Scorpions is a totally different animal. also were among the earliest few to really lean into heavy metal in the mid-late 70s
one of the best hard rock bands ever

He's one of the only singers I've ever heard who's constantly done amazing vocals on everything since the first record his group did. I think he an absolutely fantastic singer."

‘74 was rough for the Faces/ex-Faces. The Faces album without Lane, the last Stewart-Wood album and Lane’s first album were all mediocre. Ron wood managed the best album of the bunch.

Yeah s*** was grim that Ronnie Lane solo album is a nice vibe and it's growing on me. Moreso than Ronnie's album. I just like his chord changes since the very beginning with the Small Faces.

@Drogon_
Everyone in the comments are saying this played a huge part in the grunge movement of the early 90s and I can definitely hear it.
Does the rest of the album sound similar?
I requested N**** in Paris the last time I was at my local club and felt ancient.

I listened to Neil Young’s American Stars N Bars album. Honestly my favorite from him since After The Goldrush. I love the feel of it. It sounds like the album cover. @Elric
