to understand why they were/are so popular you had to be there when they first arrived on the scene. For one thing, the harmonies were different than anything else, at that time. :) Therefore they sounded so unique, now of course we know it was just a slight shift in the chord progression but still, I think you had to be there to really understand what it was like, what happened and what it is like now. Oh wait, wrong forum for that last comment! :)
