Is, but not was. They were great about 20 years ago. "Vertigo" and that album it was on was the last nail in the coffin.
A lot of bands tend to deteriorate hideously with time ... another good example is Third Eye Blind, they used to be awesome, but with every new album they get crappier and crappier ... it's kinda sad ... maybe bands should die before getting crappy, that way they will live forever
(bands like Nirvana, my fav band)
