Piggybacking on the Wolflight Hackett vocal thread got me thinking the other day whilst listening to Defector. Damn, Hackett and Hicks made a great team. I always thought his vocals
fit Steve's compositions at the time. Also, they harmonized great together IMO. Songs like Everyday and Time to get Out really showcase that. Would Cured have sounded diff for the better with Pete an company??? That being said I really feel that Hackett's two best albums where he does all the vocals are Darktown and Out of the Tunnels Mouth. I guess maybe most of us agree, his albums are far better served with guest vocalists. Let's face it, those tracks that feature Walsh, Havens and Collins are pretty magical...
