Becoming a nostalgia band at that time wouldn't really have worked fo rthem, because they were still utting out good music and a few hits. They did what they had to do, and did it well. On the one hand it's impressive that they managed to be successful in the 70's and 80's, but at the same time, the level of schmaltz and the stigma attached to it overshadows their legitimately awesome work before that.

This is going to be a wild ride...
