A Dr. Demento fan, I see.
We were just talking about that tune last week at band rehearsal. A lot of people think it was Chicago.
I would have said "Blood, Sweat & Tears" myself, the singer did kind of sound like David Clayton Thomas.
Either band is great, at least one other commenter on the Youtube version I watched said BS&T also.
Interesting, I didn’t think of them when I heard the song the first time. Admittedly my exposure to BST was a little later in life than AWB and Chicago.
The ‘wonder’ is that some of those songs were hits, like Seasons In The Sun, Timothy, What Does The Fox Say, etal.
I saw a few years back that he’s been living on a farm, in peace and quiet, from the royalties of that song. Good for him, says I.
Thought this was a cool song back in the 90s, at first I when I heard it I thought it was Todd Rundgren.

Just catching up...glad you’re enjoying the thread..the memories some of the title evoke is surprising. Laura Brannigan had a great set of pipes...I saw her in concert a few times..she died far too young..
Al Gore is deeply saddened
BTW..what's Tipper up to these days?
Because nobody WANTED to.
about as much as Johnny Manziel wants to go to Cleveland..
“More Today Than Yesterday” ...Spiral Starecase
Some of my favorites from those lists:
“Driver’s Seat” by Sniff N’ The Tears (1979)
“When The Heart Rules The Mind” by GTR (1986)
“Hangin’ On A Heart Attack” by Device (1986)
Also some others, mostly from the 70s through the 90s.
White Lion’s 1989 cover of “Radar Love” is quite good. It’s a great video too.

The band “Boston” had a one hit wonder album. They came out with a 2nd album and it sounded the same, basically droll by that time. “More than a feeling” is the best of those first album songs...
Thanks for clearing that up for me - I remember the tune and it was mingled with other memories, evidently from a whole other decade.
Yeah! Sugar in the cop’s gas tank! LOL!
