While in some respects I sympathize, 25+years of musical output is not to be sneered at, the consensus seems to be that the collaboration with Marr et al represents a far more lasting contribution to the world of pop music the solo releases that followed. Something to be celebrated, surely, but perhaps I'd feel differently were I playing show after show year after year and encountering little to no interest in the new and repeated requests for 'This Charming Man'.
