Default It's the lack of recognition

as luck would have it we are blessed to be able to second guess everything

what if (fill in the blank) did this or that instead

oh' wouldn't it be loverly
I think it bothers me more than when people rattle off bands from that period, or guitarists, Peter Green is barely mentioned (or that era of FM). I want him to get the respect he deserves. To make it worse the band with the same name became an entirely different band, so your success is almost completely obscurred by what took place five years later. I think FM would've had that if Green stayed just another year or two, it didn't have to be decades.
