And they were cool, basing their iconography on Roxy Music. Nile Rodgers was one of the best interviewees too.

That their key guys died young hasn't helped them sustain a lasting audience but to have impressed the Chicago greats in the '50s, Clapton in the '60s with Mike Bloomfield who is currently enjoying a posthumous renaissance, and cited as a big influence today on Joe Bonnamassa today their influence spans the last 50 years. Surely its their time this time.
