The Best Years of Our Lives is an album by Steve Harley & Cockney Rebel released in March 1975. It was the first album that used Harley's name ahead of the band (the band was previously known simply as Cockney Rebel)  . The band, now under the name Steve Harley & Cockney Rebel, were made up of guitarist Jim Cregan, bassist George Ford, keyboardist Duncan Mackay, and Stuart Elliott on drums. The band went into the studio during November and December 1974 to record the third Cockney Rebel album.

By his third album, Steve Harley had developed a strong grasp of how to combine his artistic ambitions with strongly crafted pop tunes that win the casual listener over to his artsy cause. The result was The Best Years of Our Lives, the most successful album of his mid-'70s heyday. This album was a big hit in his native England, thanks to the fact that it spawned two major hit singles. The first was "Mr. Raffles," a surreal yet romanticized portrait of a outlaw. The odd lyrics work thanks to the phenomenal tune backing them up, which contrasts gentle verses.
