Yes Wim, 100% agreed.

I felt very lucky to be post 30 when these guys came about, as I was immune at that point, to the tall poppy cut down syndrome (Nirvana in pyjamas etc) that is so prevalent in your teens/early twenties.

I had been writing songs for around 10 years at the time, & what Johns produced lyrically, & sonically at 14 years of age ( fking FOURTEEN) for the first album, was nothing short of amazing.

While the 2nd record was a bit of a let down to me, … (other than The Door, which is a great song to play live) the 3rd album was a ā– ā– ā– ā– ā– ā–  masterpiece AFAIC.

And although some of it took a few listens to get into, I’ve liked everything he has done since …

…up until his latest effort at least … not my cuppa at all, the new one.

Whenever I hear that phrase since the 90’s I always, … always get ā€œYou shine like oil on Machinery/ You’re sharper than a knife & I love you all my lifeā€ running through my head.

In leaving out the 1st line there, … it’s open to be number 21. :slight_smile:
