    you can look at a lot of that work back there and say it looks dated now, but back then it made a difference and the influences still carry through to today. I think that Brody's work looks really dated now but his influence back then was massive. Same goes for Carson and to a lesser extend Saville.
    Saville's work stands the test of time more so than any of the others but not more than Bass, Brockmann, Rand (my favourites!)
    All of them were a product of their time and all have been valid. It's pretty easy to knock someone like Carson now but enjoying the creative liberty he introduced.
    I can't say I was a huge fan of Carson then or even now but I recognise the effect it had and respect him for it.
