I guess that makes me a crazy lunatic fan-boy too:  It sums up my Imaginos
feelings/experience almost exactly - it all just slowly percolated into my
brain over the years, and the songs often float through my head entirely
unbidden and far more frequently than those of other bands who I've loved
just as much over the years.  Up front, THEY ROCK, but there's that subtle,
almost insidious quality that nobody else has.  I'll stop now before I
start to rave & dribble.
