Certainly, I just wanted to clarify exactly what I interpreted come-back to mean, in terms of the theme of the thread at the time. I agree you could apply that term to any number of different circumstances, and still be correct. > Again, point well made & taken.

That's true as well, my point was just that I don't think the album would not have done anything much if not for those other artists contributions. Carlos Santana is an incredibly talented performer, and has produced some stand-out work, but I don't think it's coincidental that the songs that got the most air-play, and had the most success, were those written by his collaborators - who were popular in the industry at the time it was released. > So, the bottom line is...we agree!? :~) Oh, all right then..... I was just spoiling for a fight ;o)! Someone post something about NZ music being crap - that will get me going! Mind you, everyone will be posting about how much they love Travelogue in a couple of days, and that will get my blood boiling. I've been to three music stores here in the last week, and no one knows anything about it! I'll have to try the Borders store, damn it! Although they lied last time, and told me the hat box was available when it wasn't.....
