You might find it annoying. Structurally, it is darned close to the platonic ideal of a pop record.

Toni Tennille’s voice is lovely. Arrangement was great. There were a LOT worse tunes in 1975. And THOSE are scads better from anything popular from the Grunge era and after.

“There were a LOT worse tunes in 1975.”

Yep. There was good stuff on rock albums in the 60s and 70s and then lots of slop for the masses on AM radio.

Here’s one even worse than Captain and Tennille — “Philadephia Freedom” by Elton John released in Feb 1975. “... took me knee-high to a man, yeah gave me piece of mind my Daddy never had.”
