Yeah. Air Supply, the Hollies and REO Speedwagon -- sad, sad chapters in music history.

 

[VAUConnFan]

23. Woody Woodpecker

14.. There is no truth to the rumor that Pinto & Meyers used crib sheets for Jeopardy.

15..See Meyers, though he could have mentioned rocks & thorns. They are good for keeping a soul down.

16..Cotswolds

17..Pinot & VAUC give us Saudi Arabia.

18..Penny Lane--the high-pitched VAUC gets credit.

19..The Sketches appeared in periodicals, later combined. K9 knows Boz was Dickens.

20..Fields was a highly regarded 19thC Supreme. McReynolds was a lowly regarded one in the 20th.

21..Meyers unburdens his emotions(he can't help it, but he's working with a good psychotherapist).
K9 & VAUC report temperately.

22..Soul Stripper

23..Pinto & VAUC post-hint with Woody Woodpecker.

24..K9 read the article & offers "What I Am", by Ms. Paul Simon.

25..What requires K9 to learn these songs will puzzle me 'til my last breath. (And you forgot Lobo.)

Just wonderful participation (and lurking) this time around.

Not really a good one.

22..Soul Stripper

Had not heard that one. A little old for me. I didn't pick up AC/DC until Johnson. Missed some of Bon Scott's deeper track stuff.

 

[meyers7]

Yeah. Air Supply, the Hollies and REO Speedwagon -- sad, sad chapters in music history.

You can't put earlier REO in with Air Supply. That's just wrong.

 

[k9fanatic]

You can't put earlier REO in with Air Supply. That's just wrong.

Was not familiar with early REO. I would have never guessed the tune you posted was REO. Very different. Still don't like it, but definitely not syrupy.

I don't mind Lobo at all. Always liked a dog named Boo.

 

[meyers7]

Was not familiar with early REO. I would have never guessed the tune you posted was REO. Very different. Still don't like it, but definitely not syrupy.

Prior to hmmm 1980, REO had a more rockish sound. (Ridin' the Storm Out, Roll With the Changes) Then yea, I'll agree they became more popish (syrupy) Or actually kinda anthem rock. (Keep On Loving You, I Can't Fight This Feeling)

Air Supply always sucked though.

 

[wire chief]

OK, so Lobo is acceptable, but how 'bout BREAD, huh?

 

[k9fanatic]

OK, so Lobo is acceptable, but how 'bout BREAD, huh?

I love, LOVE Bread. Strangely enough, their biggest hit -- "If" -- is their one song that I can't stand.

Now you got Baby I'm A Want You going through my head

 

[wire chief]

Oh, I give up. La Donna e Mobile.
