Mickey and Peter should not be discounted. No one can sing like Mickey, and Regional Girl is an underrated song that ought to be the anthem for this generation. Peter can play multiple instruments extremely well, though his singing was weak. Davy had the charisma to pull a schlocky show together so well.
Mike could write music like nobody’s business. Their talents were in very different places. I love their stuff – from their mainstream offerings to their obscure movie Head. They had big talent pulling them into something iconic and marketable, but I would not knock any of their talents by a long shot…
