Just got thought about it myself. Another brainstorm
Even if they aren't delivering what I'd wish by now they are still on top of my personal Hall Of Fame.

For me:

- the songs are telling how real life with all the shades not just the nice stuff
- it is real music, you can sit down and do every song unplugged if you want - everywhere in the world
- the atmosphere at live gigs is just like no other. I saw lots of other big bands but it isn't nearly the same, the whole action going on...
- that guitar guy I think RS is his name turned me on to guitar music, before I didn't care for any music and now I'm a real junkie for almost 10 years and never ever see
- it changed my life, helped me through all the bad times
- they gave me some of my favourite records from a time I was a little kid and couldn't even speak but i feel so connected to that time
- the lyrics still matter in these times
- the music still matters in these times
- the band still matters in these times
