Don't bother - danielb clearly has an agenda when it comes to Sammy...

Why is it that someone has an "agenda" when the viewpoints don't align with yours?

The following are hardly controversial statements:

- Sammy was awesome on 5150, especially on one of the big VH classics, Dreams. Were they as good as with Dave? No, less original. Still very fine in their own right.
- Does Sammy still have the same pipes? No, he sounds quite far removed from the way he sounded on 5150. Is this uncommon? No, especially not for a singer approaching his 80s. Ian Gillan has the same challenges.
- Did Dave lost much of his swagger? Yes. Does he still put on an entertaining show? Yes.
- Did VH raise Sammy's profile? Yes, otherwise he would not have joined them.
- Does AVH have a point when he says the original VH was the real deal? Yes, most would agree that they were.

Etc.
