Recorded as the band members' relationships disintegrated, the tension fuels every track, turning heartbreak into impossibly hooky soft-rock. The harmonies, the songwriting balance across three writers and the crystalline production made it one of the best-selling albums ever. Comfort listening with real emotional undertow. Their best-placed record on our lists, and a genuine essential.
On vinyl: Well-pressed originals still surface at reasonable prices; modern reissues are a safe bet if you want new.
