Could anyone recommend good songs to listen to in order to catch up with Joe's post-Eagles work?
Clearly I can listen to all of the albums, but focussing in on individual songs will be useful as I can loop a short playlist to get more familiar with them.
In my opinion, to truly enjoy Joe's albums, you've got to invest some time in them, there aren't any shortcuts. As Paul McCartney sang "The love you take is equal to love you make".
I can give you a guesstimate of the tracks I listen too most;
There Goes The Neighbourhood
You Never Know : Rivers(Of The Hidden Fun : Rockets : You Made Your Mind Up
I've seen There Goes The Neighborhood sighted as Joe's masterpiece, just ahead of The Smoker.... album.
You Bought It You Name It
Class Of 65 : Shadows : Theme From Island Weirdos : Told You So
The Confessor
Rosewood Bitters : The Confessor : Slow Dancing : I Broke My Leg
Got Any Gum
In My Car : No Peace In The Jungle : Memory Lane
Ordinary Average Guy
The Gamma Goochie : Look At Us Now : You Might Need Somebody
Songs For A Dying Planet
Theme From Baroque Weirdos/The Friend Song : Certain Situations : Decades
(I love the whole album except Fairbanks Alaska which is one of my least favourite Walsh tracks)
To display the inaccuracy of this list. I've played every track on There Goes The Neighborhood and most of Songs For A Dying Planet more than anything on The Confessor album, excluding the period when I played The Confessor incessantly when it first came out.
Before Joe released his Look What I did! and Little Did He Know (:yuck:
