>>Most of the stuff they produced before, say, '72 or so was OK, they even managed to arrange the strings in a few imaginative ways, and had a few memorable hits, and that was it. By '74, they should have started doing something else. After that, whoever put them up to redo Sgt Pepper or join that Johntra guy, should be up the wall with them.

>Well, I think we're just going to have to agree to disagree about what qualifies as 'OK'.

I'm more sentimental than critical when it comes to music between '64 and '74. Our definitions of "OK music" are personal by definition, so I agree.
