        Blasphemy! :)  Martin is an unsung guitar god!  I would be
hard pressed to like Tull without Martin--at worst I'd end up following
Martin's solo career (Which I do anyway :)  I think he makes kinda lame
albums, but the guitar playing still blows me away :)

        Like they didn't have Tony Iommi ;)  Can you _imagine_ Tony getting
along with Ian for 25 years?!!

        It was OK, but it didn't rock enough.  Not enough guitar.  Not
enough MARTIN :)

        Well, I didn't say that line-up changes didn't _often_ suck ... ;)

Cheers,
Carl
