Hard to argue if they or the Roses were bigger, they certainly had more hits and lasted longer. And i would say they are better respected in the music industry.
@sycamoreluca Well, apparently Clint wanted to go for a more punk/garage band sound and Tom didn't. Anyway, bollocks! Give me the polished, commercial sound of the Tom era Inspirals anyday.
I saw them on the 25th anniversary tour and he was awfull. Clint boon had his organ turned up way too loud compared to the origonal album, i thought to cover for holts god awful creeky voice.
