Oh goodness, I'm tired of this argument. Do we really want to argue that their solo work is less meaningful to them (or us for that matter) because it sells less? I certainly don't.
Belittling the man's solo sales doesn't negate the fact that he stopped his personal project and gave two years of his life to the whole band instead. A band that he was thinking of leaving. It was a commitment that few in the band - perhaps only Christine - were willing or able to match. He could have left without doing the album. He could have insisted that they wait for him to do the solo album first. He could have insisted upon being allowed to do both, and just doing his personal little bits for Tango and then taking off again with little care about what else happend with the album. He didn't, thankfully.

Lis - thanks for the response about the article. If you can scan it, I can probably transcribe it for you if you're interested. Just let me know.
