But tbh, say what you will of cookie cookie cookie (<-- Edited because Bob Odenkirk rules), but they lost the spark that set them apart. There's any number of madrigal obscure 60's and 70's prog/psych that, while Mike loves it (as do I), it's a deep cut for a reason. There's a few examples of such bands that should have hit harder but didn't. i love 'em and post 'em here. For example:
Or that Marmalade from a couple weeks back. But it's unfortunate that Mike aspires to the obscure rather than the Blackwater Park/Deliverance stuff that changed... everything.
He's even left his side projects...
