At least the harmonica is agreeable.Brian Warehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02734362743224220410noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1391900640831782659.post-26635413095511696682009-06-15T18:28:05.320-07:002009-06-15T18:28:05.320-07:00For me, they were way over-played.

There will never be another album so thoroughly designed. I know it won the Grammy for package design in 1980 and it was well deserved.<br /><br />But, yeah, it was funny how that album went monster after years of subtle commercial growth only to be the alpha and omega of their megastardom. They looked set up to be the next Fleetwood Mac for a while, there.<br /><br />Roger Hodgson's high vocals were not my cup of tea.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
