Actually I love all of those, except for Yellow Shark (because I heard so few of it). My problem is quite the opposite. I asked the early 80s question in first place because I don't care that much about some of the 'normal' music fz did. I listened to YAWYI once and found only a couple of songs or so memorable, along with the Sinister Footwear one obviously. I didn't discard it, whenever I get a chance to listen to that album again I will do so, but I'd like to go first for the stuff that emphasizes instrumentals more in that period. ------------------------ Yahoo!
