Great write-up. I was never into Take That or the solo projects, but I always got the sense that Barlow was the real talent in the group. That said, he definitely made some questionable song choices along the way.
He definitely had some potential as a songwriter. They're the only boyband I can tolerate so they did something right. I really didn't like his solo output, though. He works better as part of a group for some reason.

Wow, a lot longer than what I wrote about in January. Appreciate all the extra Take That background!
