Dave:

I don't know if I'd call it "lifeless," but "too damned slick" works for
me. Trademark Myxylplyx production, that.

I didn't want to get into this debate, but I agree with you here.

Kevin:

Carl Palmer, before he joined Asia. Although I think HE would have been a

Kentavo:

We know the answer to that, don't we? But Kenny's not a bad drummer, for
someone like Rod Stewart. He's just not nearly good enough for The Who.

It wasn't bad on some of the live shows, but even Toronto was better than
WHO'S LAST.

Keets:

You could say he started getting into the synth with WHO'S NEXT, and it's
been growing ever since.
