i think that's the most interesting thing about the group - i see that they did attempt a reunion in the '80s, but their whole sound and impact remains squarely in one time and place. they never went through their '70s soft rock phase or their '80s faux-new wave phase, etc. their sound was of a certain era and when that era was over, so was the band. it's very pure. shrug
