If Americans remembered Neil at all, it was because of “Don’t Dream” and “Something So Strong” — pop hits from 1986. Since that time, their fanbase has been Australian and Asian and UK, not US. A string of their albums got good writeups but didn’t chart in the US any higher than Lindsey’s solo albums. I think the businessmen would have preferred a commercial powerhouse in the US had joined Mac, like the lead guitarist from Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers. That pleased the moneymen and the public.

Wasn't Pete Townsend being considered back when LB quit?
