I'd also like to submit Supertramp's entire 1970's discography. Never liked them.
Yeah extra awful points for that band name too.
I once saw a vagrant busking Breakfast In America outside my local supermarket. I said, "that's super, tramp" and he replied "cheers mate."
That joke is lost on me i couldn't name one of their songs.

I had trouble sleeping recently and did a SWC marathon. Damn that show was funny.
“I like the pole and the hole, and right now I’m as moist as a snack cake down there. So, why don’t you come over to my crib after school, and I’ll make your pinky all stinky.”

One of the great cringe comedies, without a doubt.
Yeah that's classic SWC.

The Manhattan Transfer - Chanson d'amour. Load of shite (ra da da da da).

I only know "The Boy From New York City." They had more than one hit? Huh.

Yep sadly. The one you mention was really tame but compared to "Chanson d'amour" it was rocking.

No let's just leave it alone and maybe it will go away.

The notion is ridiculous that a group of people who love "Complete Control" as life itself could also tolerate "Hotel California."

I love "Mollocking Tyre" as I thought it was called at the time. I also thought Macca was Wolfie Smith as he had a similar combat jacket on in the video. My knowledge of the Beatles was zero in 1977 apart from the 3 songs we sang at school.
There's a tiny, tiny hopeful part of me that says you guys are running a Kaufmanesque long con on the board

Considering you keep insisting Kiss are the American Beatles, I’m not certain you’ve learned much since.

I remember hating it in 1977. It's sounds even worse now. Thank God he was able to move in with Stevie Wonder and live on his keyboard. Seriously how many musical crimes has this man got away with?
