Some bands let their most famous members go and they keep recording. Look, did you hear that Spiders From Mars continued without Bowie? Not only that, they even let Ronson go. Still, I would put their Spiders From Mars in the same category as Squeeze by The Velvet Underground – both of these records could've gained a better reception, had they changed the name of the outfits behind the albums that followed the departures of the prominent ones. Spiders From Mars, for instance, shows a lot of possibilities – they could've been a solid 70's rock band – , yet the shadow of both Bowie and Ronson didn't do them any favours. Nonetheless, I get why they released the platter under Spider From Mars – no one would've checked them otherwise.
