Brian Johnson dreadful singer , bon Scott was a legend , back in black was the one good album the band did after Scott died , it would have been fantastic if he lived

Gabriel was a god
Collins had an OK voice on songs like blood on the rooftops and one or two later songs but he was no gabriel

Stevie Nicks...Peter Green. Both good. Like two different bands though.

Small Faces when Rod Stewart joined. He was a great rock and roll singer - should have stuck with that rather than the ballads.

Stevie nicks and Buckingham transformed Fleetwood mac
Her vocals on gold dust woman are fantastic , also on gypsy
She could sing like a banshee
Not keen on her solo stuff too much although one or two crackers
Mind you Christine Mcvie had a beautiful voice, you make loving fun is amazing

No, just a prompt for other comparisons and thoughts.

I was luck enough to see the Rumours line up a few years back in the Isle of Wight. Buckingham is still and incredible performer.

Great guitarist
Its a little cringeworthy to see bands well into their pipe and slippers age still cranking out the old hits
Purple , Led Zep reformation etc
Saw sabbath original classic line up at Milton Keynes bowl in 1997 as they reformed after many years apart
They were fantastic but even after the show me and my mates were saying thank god we saw them one last time , ozzy was struggling , the other three were superb but one of the worlds greatest bands had put on a fantastic show and it should have been their goodbye .
But in no time they were off again touring like a money making machine and even when ward finally quit due to a relapse into alcoholism and disputes , they carried on with a new drummer
They were still at it a few years ago with a new drummer and a new album which wasn't anything special
Its like something out of spinal tap

Had a bit of a WSM there:
Steve Rothery is the guitairist, Steve Hogarth is the singer, Amel should have been Arnel and John Ritchie, should have been John Lydon.
Must try better

Just to clarify I feckin' hate Journey! But that Perry fella had an incredible voice, a fantastic range and authentic soul all in one package. The likes of him don't come along too often.
