Who’s to say that there won’t new music on the box?



How do you know they haven’t?



They could have died 31 years ago because of him.



Finn and Lindsey are cut from very similar cloths. They’re both the type to place art over commercial viability.



Nobody suggested they did.



He is. Verifiably. Maybe not a megastar, but he’s internationally famous. Finn was awarded an OBE (Officer of the British Empire), a couple of steps below knighthood, for his contributions to music. So clearly he’s achieved some level of noteworthiness.



He had more than one hit, and the last time FM had a hit was 28 years ago.



I don’t know if he’s miraculous, but he was awarded an OBE (Officer of the British Empire) for his contributions to music.

Steve you can defend them all you want, I applaud your optimism actually.

For me, I just can't anymore and that's on me, completely my choice. I don't expect everyone to feel the same or agree.

I just don't think they are in a place where doing anything new or risky is even remotely in their playbook now.

I don't believe Lindsey was the sole roadblock or root of all their conflicts. Even with him out of the band, I'd be shocked if they went through the effort to work on new material. Two new folks join the band and they still begin rehearsals two months before their first gig. They're in "good enough" mode if you ask me.

No doubt, I bet Mike and Neil would sign onto doing an album, it's actually the rest of them that I think would kill the idea before it ever got off the ground.

Yeah, I could be totally wrong too.
