does the fact that gareth can do a pretty good rick mean rick's vision is really not as broad as he gets credit for? a designer like mcqueen could never be replicated... sagmeister once said style=fart, and ian anderson said (paraphrasing) 'if you have a style you might as well get somebody else to do your work'; and of course many tried to copy tDR unsuccessfully.
Mass is wise, listen to Mass. "Style" by itself isn't even a valid concept in art/design/literature. It's an artificial attempt to separate things that are one and the same (content vs style). I do believe that Rick has more depth than you give him credit for but that's beside the point. The semi-replicating thing sorta throws me off too.

I've been working my way through these the past few days and just wanted to say thanks for compiling them. Hope updates to the list are on the way soon
