>>Nah, the problem for me was the amount of Yamaha DX7s running around. Everyone had to use one of those sounds in the music...
I generally stopped listening to bands when they started getting FM synths. Didn't mind Prophets and Oberheims, and some groups even did decent things with Polymoogs (especially Cardboard Brains, but nobody outside Toronto would have heard of them).
Giving FM synthesizers to rock bands was like giving people Macintoshes -- the urge to use every single stinkin' font in a single document was too much to resist.
Even ELP went bad when the Yammie keyboards started to appear. Love Beach... thpthttt!!
