In reply to cragtyke:
Funny how the Stranglers were often thought of as part of the punk movement that was supposed to have swept aside the 'grandiose excesses' of the rock genre and then had a keyboard player who did 10 minute solos that wouldn't have been out of place in a prog band!
Anyway, I'm quite partial to a 10 minute keyboard solo and Dave played some great ones. Sorry to hear he fell victim to the virus.
