But there was one line up throughout the 80's and 90's (bar a few years).
Indeed, which tells you something about these kind of write-ups.
Hmmmm, I'm not sure that's true (even with the 'bar a few years' proviso - 8 out of 20...a few? Discuss!) is it. 'There was one lineup from 1985 to 1997' doesn't have quite the same impact I agree, but it does have the benefit of being true!
