Why so little love for Adrian Belew so far. Great guitarist, vocalist and lyricist and primarily responsible for their resurgence in the 80's and beyond.

I vote for him---overall like 80's KC more than 70's know I am in minority. That live 80's concert of them is amazing.

Just curious but am I the only one who finds Belew's vocals and guitar playing annoying at times...?
No...you're not the only one...though I can't say I ever find his guitar playing annoying, just his vocals. I remember reading a KC review in the mid 80's and the reviewer hit it on the head for me. He said AB was a poor man's David Byrne and that he tries too hard to be "weird".

Michael Giles - a hugely musical drummer. I can spend hours just concentrating on his playing, always finding some new facets and flourishes throughout.
