Very well put.

The whole deal is such a shame too. The last two PF albums aren't that bad on 
their own merits (not classic either), but c'mon, just call 'em David Gilmour 
solo records and everything would sit much better.

Mind you, I also wish Chrissie Hynde would've dropped the name "Pretenders" 
after Farndon and Honeyman-Scott died. Same deal as the Floyd ... I like some 
of the later Pretenders stuff, but I still haven't heard anything Chrissie's 
done since that matches PRETENDERS and PRETENDERS II.

PS: Oh, and I definitely understand the debate about "so-and-so left so it's 
not the same band anymore" can be a very slippery slope.
