That's a lot of fucking shame!  

I could not disagree with you more about the tv solo albums. 

I think it's shameful and disgraceful that they did/don't get
more recognition from the music public.  

Regarding: 
>  they have that particular 80's production  quality with the drums 
> and cheesy effects that were downright apalling

Cheesy effects?!?  Like what for instance (some specific examples please---including
song titles)? I can not think of a musician who shuns cheesy effects more than TV.

Have you ever heard of an album called "Dreamtime"?
Could it be you are confusing great production, multi-tracking/layered guitars,
virtuoso guitar playing by Verlaine, and fantastic song writing with some of today's 
music's cool but empty gestures?

Say more about the drumming---like what particular drumming .

I think you need some new friends.
