 The band took a hiatus in 1987, when Bell and Long began working on more commercial-sounding material under the name So.Their album, "Horseshoe in the Glove", yielded a minor US hit in the song "Are You Sure", which, despite receiving a moderate amount of airplay on rock radio and being named an MTV "Video of the Week", barely missed reaching "Billboard"'s Top 40, peaking at #41.The Opposition then regrouped and released the album "Blue Alice Blue" in 1990, again recorded with Kenny Jones.
