Yeah, I agree Craig. His voice, or maybe the uniqueness of his voice kinda defined that band. Don't get me wrong, the music on the Accept albums was great. But I just could never get into the other albums as much as the ones Udo sang on.

Fortunately, I've never been one to whine when a group makes a major change as long as they still make great music (ok, except for when Van Halen became Van Hagar).  I just treat them as if they are two different groups that I like.  Examples include Genesis, Marillion, Tangerine Dream, Journey, Fleetwood Mac, etc.
