If I had to pick an America song, it would have been “Daisy Jane”.
If I had to pick a Toto song, it would have been “I Won’t Hold You Back”.
If I had to pick a Chicago song, it would have been “Hard Habit To Break”.
If I had to pick a Phil Collins song, it would have been “Against All Odds”.
BTW...how the hell does Cat Stevens’ “Peace Train” end up on a list like this?
That’s a good list. I might have put a few more REO Speedwagon songs near the top. That music, though...when you hear it you don’t know whether to laugh, cry or call a psychiatrist.
Any Chicago song Pete Cetera sang on.
Good tune. Stuuuupid lyrics.
Gold was (is) a fine guitarist and excellent arranger/producer. He produced and did the guitar work for Ronstadt's "Heart Like a Wheel." His father wrote the them song to "Exodus." His mother sang in big Hollywood movies for lip-synching actresses who couldn't sing.
He joined up with a 10cc guy in the 1980s to form Wax. They had some up-charge hits UK-wide ("Systematic," "Right Between the Eyes").
If we're looking for soft-pop schmaltz, why isn't Dan Fogleberg this list?
A list w/out Muskrat Love is merely a piece of garbage.
03. Rupert Holmes - “Escape (The Pina Colada Song)”
Yuck. One of the worst things ever put on wax.
I was on hold yesterday and the company had The Last Farewell by Roger Whitaker playing on hold. Sorry, it’s a great song.
“There’s a ship lies rigged and ready in the harbor, Tomorrow for old England she sails...”
