Surely this has to be on any list of classics ?!
The Eagles' "Great Leap Forward" from 1976 was a reflection on success, excess, and an angsty look at the US. Sold by the shedload due to the bands' superior song-writing, and a shift into Rockier terrain than they'd used before.
Track Listing:
1 Hotel California
2 New Kid in Town
3 Life in The Fast Lane
4 Wasted Time
5 Wasted Time (Reprise)
6 Victim of Love
7 Pretty Maids All in a Row
8 Try & Love Again
9 The Last Resort
Selected vid clips:
The classic live HC clip (audio a bit gnarly)

Gets my vote
Nice to be able to go back to trust and friendship!!!!!!!!!
It's a mixed up sensation this being alive
Oh! it wears a man down into the ground
It's the strangest elation
I can't describe it
Oh it leaves a man weary
It makes a man frown..............................Chris Simpson ( "Mixed Up Sensations" 1975 Martin's Cafe )
