In most cases, there weren't many – so every new LP tended to carry a little extra weight.

We lost far more than our fair share of innovative geniuses on this particular trip around the sun.

This band's most-streamed songs will be no surprise to fans both committed and casual. But what about the rest?

Together, they tell the story of a songwriting partnership that grew with each new studio album.

The founding guitarist left the group soon after what he later admitted was a "very disrespectful" act.
