For the past few months they account for about 70% of my listening - I bought that double DVD set and keep listening to the disco period tunes over and over - its pap but I can't stop! When Avalon came out I was in high school and it was a great record to play on dates, romantic and sophisticated but has a real stoner appeal. In Pyjamarama I hear the source all of the new wave I know I read somewhere that a young Sid Vicious used to pantomine to this). I don't think we can understand their impact in 1972, to do In Every Home A Heartache on TOTPS (well, it was one of those Brit shows) which is a weird tune when most bands would've just done their hits was radical.
