Actually, I think don't think you were referring to my post (for once! :) ) as I would never argue that. I think me and the Navy guy (sorry, man, I forgot your name, is it Richard?) were agreeing about the ongoing appeal of those records. Me, I don't believe May's work will ever date, it's like Marvin Gaye's stuff. It's about the feeling and the fact that it timelessly encapsulates an era (not contradictory if you think about it) and everytime you go back to those records you will be astonished at just how evocative they are. It's like The Message isn't the slickest hip-hop record but it stands up because..... it just does. Cheers Cyclone
