Another case where every song mentioned is great and easy for me to defend.

I'd like to submit "Carry On My Wayward Son" for discussion. The melody and the actual vocal mixing/sound are so off putting to me.
Add Dust in the Wind and you've got a HoynnyB.
Dust in the Wind did inspire this scene from B&T:
That's the only acceptable reference.

I'd also like to submit Supertramp's entire 1970's discography. Never liked them.

At one of our local festivals this past summer there was a Supertramp tribute band. I could hear them from my house. It was awful.

I cannot for the life of me imagine spending any time learning one of their songs, much less an entire set's worth. Cripes.

My sister had the Breakfast in America album. Decades later, I'll bet I could tell how all the songs go once it starts playing. I loathe Supertramp with an irrational zeal.

Dreamer, Give a Little Bit, The Logical Song and Breakfast In America are fine by me, if a little hysterical in the vocal dept.
There's a tiny, tiny hopeful part of me that says you guys are running a Kaufmanesque long con on the board

I wouldn't say I can't stand it but Heroes by Bowie is massively overrated.
I know I'm late to the party, but for fuck's sake, Heston.

101, your daughter (and her name) is lovely. Is this the pole vaulter?
Thanks Jenny and yes it is 😊

All good songs. As you say about the Vox.

One of the great cringe comedies, without a doubt.

I once saw a vagrant busking Breakfast In America outside my local supermarket. I said, "that's super, tramp" and he replied "cheers mate."
