I mean this isn't that far from a JCC lyric

"Subdivisions
In the high school halls
In the shopping malls
Conform or be cast out
Subdivisions
In the basement bars
In the backs of cars
Be cool or be cast out"

chr1sb3singer, Tuesday, 21 December 2021 22:12 (three years ago)

Peart would still write the lyrics; Clarke would just sing and play bass.

Eagles but replace Joe Walsh with a more conventionally croony singer / acoustic guitarist - James Taylor, J.D. Souther, Jackson Browne, Paul Simon, Dan Fogelberg, Cat Stevens, Stephen Stills

Same thing for CSN( ), replace Neil Young with someone more in the Taylor/Browne/Fogelberg mode

Walsh and Young are better as solo acts anyway

kinda a controp because those guys were also the most interesting person in their respective bands - just saying the bands would be more comprehensible without their weirdest member

I don't like the Foo Fighters, but they'd be better without having to look at their drummer. Hell, replace him with Grohl, and then replace Grohl with Bob Mould.

Imagining 65 year old Frank earnestly trying to bring some ol' blue eyes magic to Fred's lyric sheets is priceless.
