...I am positive that, back in the day, I read that a big part of the reason Robin was chosen for MSG was his ability to take Michael's riff ideas and transfer 'em into songs - hooky songs. If that's true, and considering that all of my favorite MSG tracks are from the McAuley era, I'm not sure that I'll have a problem with the songwriting.

I know that others really rate Assault Attack, Built to Destroy, etc. And I like those albums fine. But if I were to make a compilation of my top ten MSG songs, they'd probably all be from the three McAuley albums. And with the inclusion of Pilson, there's even more potential, IMHO.

For me, this is exciting news.
