Couldn't agree more. I think they would definitely list The Beatles as their hugest influence also. I think they covered the spectrum pretty well and I was always enamored with their keyboards, they could be subtle or just take over a song, always dependent upon how much they wanted the vocals to take front and center. Certainly one of my favorite acts from the 70's. Sadly the last time I saw them live, Difford was sick and couldn;t make the trip. Hope to see them touring again, they still are quite a great act live.
