Yes, I had heard plenty of FM songs before I bought an album and I didn't connect the songs with a band, much less with the same band. But I became a fan before they had solo albums, so I was not introduced to them individually.

I believe that I was interested enough in Leather and Lace, EO17 and SDMHA to have bought Bella Donna if I did not know who FM was. But I don't know if Trouble would have made me like buy Law & Order. Of course, I love Trouble, but that's because I already knew who LB was.

But I distinctly remember listening to Casey Kasem when he spoke of both Stevie and Lindsey being in the same band when they were on the charts and maybe if I'd heard Bella Donna and then heard Casey's broadcast I might have said, "Now, who is that fellow who is in a band with her?" Maybe I should check him out to see if they have similar solo brands. Or maybe I would never have found Mr. B at all. As my beloved Scully said: "What I would have missed."
