I love that entire era of the band 1971-1974. Though they weren't busting up the charts or making huge amounts of money, they were still a relatively successful band, releasing albums, and touring consistently, despite all the personnel changes. Those albums -- Kiln House, Future Games, Bare Trees, Penguin, Mystery to Me, Heroes are Hard to Find -- have a wealth of great songs. I enjoy all of them. Bob kept the band alive. In a backhanded way, we can thank him for the Rumours era.
