I remember a schoolmate had a Darryl Hall solo album, which made it clear who wrote the hits. When you look like Darryl Hall and sing like Darryl Hall, there has to be a reason a guy with a perma-perm and a pencil moustache is in the band.

I like them. They blur the line between indie rock and pop. Also, 1975 was the Greatest Year for Music Ever, because glam was dead and punk hadn't yet started, so there were no bandwagons determining what record companies were signing. It was just wall-to-wall creativity. Some artists did their best work that year.

Blimey, I was just telling another forum about an album I produced for some friends, where each track was a reference to a part of pop history, so we had a Zeppelin III song, a Dean Martin song, a Small Faces song, etc and one was the Glen Campbell song, Travelling Man, which starts at 7.00. (Top guitar from local session lad, Colin Macfarlane.)

The album title, On Safari, was one the Beatles had rejected for Revolver. Pop history reference again.
(FWIW, I played the lead guitar at the end of the first track, around 5.12, going for a Carpenters' Goodbye to Love thing.)
My mate, Al, back in his embarrassing 80s hair band:

Then he went off to promote the Jeff Wayne album, on which he sang the part of Spartacus:
It flopped, because it was ****.
Meanwhile, I was on the tribute circuit:
And now he's in an Eagles tribute band:
"I'm Don Henley!" "No, I'm Don Henley!"
