The Best Of Joe Walsh (1978)
Joe Walsh always had a fairly original, signature guitar style. The problem was writing good songs to showcase that style. Presented here is most of his best pre-Eagles material, and while you may find his voice annoying (I know I do) and the songs very similar to one another (Not a problem if you like his style, see “AC/DC”), there’s no denying the miracle anthem-by-accident “Life’s Been Good”, never approached/repeated before or since.
(“Funk #49”, “Life’s Been Good”)
