* ReplacementScrappy: Most fans and critics, and even the band itself, disliked Mark S. Orr's tenure as lead singer, due to his scratchy and more bluesy delivery compared to Ricky Lee's twangier voice. Averted with Doug, whose voice is very similar to his brother's, and further averted with Richard Young's [[StepUpToTheMicrophone increasing turns on lead vocals]] -- while he also has a scratchy and bluesy voice, he's been able to adapt it to the band's style more cohesively. It also helps that Richard does most of the harmony vocals on songs sung by Doug.
