Your age and mine. I've always loved them. I saw them live in 1990, shortly after their guerilla concert in NYC at the Exxon building. My best friend from High School actually worked across the street and saw it from her office window. They were a great great band. I miss people like that now. "Forgotten Years" is still one of my fave songs -- thanks for the memories!
After a 'well, I know this one song by them so sure, I'll buy this CD real cheap' impulse buy, I hunted down four of their other albums. No regrets. (Capricornia is the only album I bought new; the rest I got second-hand.)
(A co-worker later told me one of these guys went into politics and became a Minister of the Environment or something along those lines?)
