1. They were much better than the credit they have received.

5. Well, They Did Make The HoF

But, that did take way too long.

6. Their sound was distinctive but not always the same. So versatile. Gone but not.

[ProfessorGAC]

7. My Take Is...

...that nobody sounded like them before & nobody has sounded like them since.
Like you said; very distinctive.

2. This Song Made Me Glad I Bought A Talkbox

I couldn't justify a vocoder, as what Greg Hawkes used at the end where the keyboard says "Dangerous Type" but I rigged the talkbox to do it.
Added just the right flair to make the song cool.

3. Hawkes had it going on

his contributions gave the band a unique sound

4. You Bet

He wasn't a great player, but he sure knew how to add texture.
And the way he worked with Elliott Easton was outstanding.
Could hear everything both of them were doing, but they never got in one another's way.
