    Фантастическая группа с позитивными, шикарными песнями. Если бы не фильм The Intouchables то я вряд ли бы узнал о них. Думаю многие со мной согласятся. Люблю эту группу :) [2]

    Elementary School. Junior High. High School. College. Adult Life. So many good memories linked to the hits and the non-hits and the album cuts. No other BAND tops the Elements. Some come close, but my God, the repertoire. How can you choose the favorites?? Legends, absolute legends. I am always blown away each time I listen to these fellas.
