   I personally dont like Marly that much. Some of his stuff aint bad, but he is serverly overated. I think dead artist syndrome thing. He's become something of a legend, but the real thing isnt quite up to the legend. If that makes sense, not easy to explain imo. Same situation with Jim Morrison and John Lennon (to an extent) imo. I love steel pulse though.
