In the lead, what kind of 1960s music does "60s homage" refer to? I've also added links to the other genres you mention — you might want to check if I've interpreted them all correctly. Also, "uniquely crafted artistic pop songs" could mean a lot of different things, in my experience; the description
316:
The "Style" section seems to duplicate a bit from the "History" section (sometimes verbatim, eg. "a major influence on artists such as Depeche Mode, New Order and The Pet Shop Boys"). Also, it introduces some aspects of their history in vague details before the history section discusses them more
253:
The lead should ideally comprise 3 paragraphs. Maybe the current lead could be split in two at the 'Despite the many genres' section, followed by a para on the current revival. Also Sparks have been hugely influential, and it'd be worthwhile in mentioning a few specific bands in the 2nd
236:
I don't know how much more info is available on this band, but it seems like there could be more detail. Did they have recurring themes in their music? Any particular legacy/influence on other bands?
227:
One thing I noticed about the language was that you use the phrase " saw the release of..." a bunch of times in the article. You should probably switch up the sentence structure a little bit.
38: 277:
Just a comment: If your going for FA, and you should, the preference for sound files seems to be towards the 'Sound sample box' format. That said inline is
233:
The first several sentences of the style section should probably have some inlines somewhere, as the article makes some pretty specific claims/comparisons.
211: 356:
First off, the POV problem has to be addressed, I could try but I think at this stage it would be better for someone else to cp-ed the suckers out
51: 317:
specifically; maybe you could put it after the history section, and thereby be able to refer back to details of their history more concisely.
21: 179:
The album article pages need to be expanded (not directly related to this article, but would help improve this article's information).
284:
Disog. section is disproportionally large compared to rest of article. If you want to expand the History section, maybe subscribe to
230:
If you wanna get this to an FA, you're going to need to probably have some better fair use justifications or get some free-use pics.
271:
Perhalps the "style" section should come after "History". This is no big deal, and there's no 'rule' as such, its just more usual.
336: 310:
of lyrics and arrangements work better to convey what you might be describing, but I think this part could be more descriptive.

The external links needed some cleanup (I just finished organizing them). Although the fansites might need to go.
209: 274:
Both Ron and Russell are quite witty in interviews, try incorporating quotes into article, where appropriate.
221: 362:
I'll try to address the layout, duplicate detail, MOS, ref format and sample issues raised as ongoing tasks
263:
Change the references style to "div class="db-cmVmZXJlbmNlcw" (looks tidy). Also consider using a standard
371: 343: 325: 321:
The rest of the article looks much better formed in comparison, so I mostly focused on these sections. –
300: 244: 130: 17: 313:
Claiming uniqueness twice in the opening seems a bit overreaching, no matter who you're talking about.
201: 185: 353:
Wow! Thanks everyone for the great response, all very contructive and helpfull, much appreciated.
48:
article as it has been very stable for a long time and requires fresh eyes for its development.
59: 241: 170: 340: 224:, samples should typically be in listen-boxes next to the paragraphs that mention them. 159: 104: 45: 31: 368: 127: 55: 297: 163: 322: 278: 156:
Could organize the samples in an appropriate section near the bottom.
93:
Fair use justifications/free use images, imporve image descriptions
289: 359:
Fair use images is a big issue, any suggestions gladly accepted
257:
Words such as 'lush' and 'dramatically' could be seen as POV.
285: 249:
Nice article, enjoyed reading it. Just a few suggestions:
