I'm Not Like Everybody Else
I agree with Lord Grendel and That 70s Guy about Van Halen and Kiss.
Elton John firing his original classic 70's band. I've read several times that he was listening to some bad advice and he has since regretted it but Elton has never quite reached the quality of music (I feel) of his those first six years of his career.

Thanks for fillin' in the blanks with Elton background Runtfan. Lost quality is a poor choice of words on my part. His music or band has always been top shelf and I like a few of his later tunes and I have a lot of respect for him. I'll have to investigate those other songs you mentioned. I do prefer the Captain Fantastic and before period of his though.
Kenny Passarelli was bassist in Joe Walsh's band from Barnstorm through the So What period.
I'm one of the biggest Cream fans around, would of loved to see another album, but it was time to move on, I guess?
Eric Clapton moved on to other projects, then a successful solo career. Clapton's had a great solo career. He's still popular and a big draw. He must of been doing something right, because he's still packing them in. Is he topping the charts?- who cares, look what's on the charts nowadays, it's youth oriented music. And if a ''classic rocker'' does chart nowadays? - it's just for a week or two, usually. It's safe to say, the day of the classic rockers ruling the charts are long gone.
I'm not alone as a Clapton fan, who was satisfied with his career after Cream and Derek & The Dominos, but the ones who weren't satisfied, seem to be more vocal about it. Worldwide, Eric Clapton is still one of the biggest rock stars from the classic rock era, even after only three and a half studio albums with Cream and one studio album as Derek and the Dominos. In the end, Clapton turned out to be bigger than Cream.
Don't mind me, just rambling on about one of my favorite guitarists, if not my favorite guitarist.
And now Xanadu is a big play.Who would have guessed that?
But was his career ruined forever? That is the question. Most ELO fans will tell you that Jeff Lynne lost his credibility after Xanadu and never recovered. (not with me, I got into ELO through Xanadu)
What about George? Did he lost his reputation forever? I doubt it.
