Ha, some honesty. There’s a reason one of the best-selling albums of all time remains the Eagles’ Their Greatest Hits. That thing outsold Rumours and Dark Side Of The Moon.
I wouldn’t go that way for most bands, even in this desert-island scenario… except for The Moody Blues. God help them, they have never released a properly good album, front to back. Even Days Of Future Passed suffers for the prose sections. Just skip to “Nights In White Satin” already. Absolutely distill that to a seventy-minute mix tape, so I can pretend “I Know You’re Out There Somewhere” and “Lovely To See You” weren’t separated by two decades.

I have a wide range of tastes, but if this was a top 15 I can almost guarantee an Eagles album would be on it.
