Nilsson Schmilsson

It's kind of ironic that one of John Lennon's post Beatles best buddies sounded very much like his former band mate Paul McCartney. Harry Nilsson had great voice but to me he could have benefitted from better songwriting (partners). There are few good pop tracks on this and 'Jump into the fire' is a standout one

Bien

Eclectic mix of genres - folk, blues, honky-tonk? Just a bit odd. Oh this has Without You ("Can't live if living is without you") and Coconut ("put the lime in the coconut"). Such famous tracks, very different, and sequential in the album! Otherwise nothing much is grabbing my attention. Best track - Gotta Get Up, Early in the Morning 3 stars, but a low 3

A decent album after a couple of stinkers. It probably sounded better than it is because of the aforementioned double-whammy I experienced. 'Ken Lee' is obviously a classic, before being butchered by all the wannabe warblers, but some of the other tracks were also pretty good. I think 3 stars is about right.

eh pretty cool i guess

Easy, low impact chill rock that's an easy listen. He incorporates a lot of instruments into the songs without overloading them, i'm usually more of a fan when wind instruments are in or piano. Just seems like a guy who likes making fun little songs. Gotta Get Up, Coconut and Jump into the Fire are good ones.

was not familiar with harry nilsson before listening to this, so was surprised to recognize some of his songs. fine 3 stars

Some classics on here—a bit of ‘70s pop, a bit of Beatles, some good variation overall.

14/20 Album qui s'écoute assez bien. Des musiques assez sympa comme Down, mais aussi des musiques oubliables. Ça reste plutôt une bonne découverte, bien que l'album reste un peu daté.

Nilsson Schmilsson... who gives a piss? Nah, I'm kidding. That's just the kind of self-deprecating vibe that the album's name gives off. This album's not half-bad. Apparently the Beatles really liked this guy and I can kinda see why. I mean, this album has an instance of insane tonal whiplash that would make the White Album jealous. Let's talk about that for a bit actually. Song 6 on this album is called "Without You" and it's genuinely kind of beautiful. It is a cover, but Harry Nilsson's version has arguably become the definitive rendition of the song. It's either that or Mariah Carey's version. But yeah, this song is excellent. The piano is nice, Harry's vocals are stunning for that one part in the chorus, and the energy makes the message hit even harder. It's just a wonderful power ballad and I love it. That song is immediately followed by "Coconut," an annoying novelty song about putting the lime in the coconut and drinking them both up. The tonal whiplash between these two songs may genuinely the most insane thing I've heard on any one of these albums and I kind of admire it in a sick, twisted way. But yeah, "Coconut" is definitely a little annoying, but that's, like, the point, right? I can't hate a song that's actively trying to be annoying too much, right? I will say that it's pretty funny to see people on this site realizing that the song at the end of Reservoir Dogs is real and comes from this album, but I myself had my own situation similar to this where I just now found out that this was the musical inspiration for the "Peeps in the chili pot" bit from The Good Place. Very funny scene from a phenomenal show, I must say. If you haven't seen The Good Place by now, what are you even doing with your life? Go watch it, trust me. So, that was funny. As far as the rest of the album goes, it kind of hovers around this "good, but not great" range that I can't hate at all. There are other nice songs like "Gotta Get Up" and "Jump Into the Fire" but the album at large doesn't leave as much of an impact as I'd maybe like it to. Nothing in here is bad, aside from perhaps the one song. Harry Nilsson's a decent songwriter and vocalist. The instrumentalists all do well enough. I like the album, okay? It's got some weird things that I'm not entirely in favor of, but I can see the appeal. If nothing else, I at least got a bit of a laugh out of it. High 3/5.

This should be right up my alley and ,for the most part, it is. Very McCartney-esque songwriting. I just don’t like Coconut and think novelty songs like it ultimately drag the overall quality of albums down. Favorite songs were Gotta Get Up, Driving Along, Down, and Jump Into The Fire.

A fun listen for sure. Little scattered and the production sounds dated here and there, but Nillson is a skilled songwriter, which shines though those quibbles.

I like the playfulness. But didn’t end up with strong feelings.

Bro thought he could make the white album

It was okay. Songwriting was fine and some of the songs were fun. “Coconut” is the famous track, but it’s silly. 3/5 Might listen again

A CAN LIIIIIIIIIIIIII great song

I don't think I've heard this record as a whole since I was in grade school. I like this overall, though the more bluesy tracks on side A don't do much for me. Without You isn't my favorite ballad either, but Harry is fully sending the high harmony in the second chorus, so I have to give it props for that; guess that's the way you win a Grammy. Lackluster tracks aside, the rest of the album is fun enough to keep me coming back. 3.4/5

Good album. Nothing crazy.

Pretty good, really not my style of music. But at least i know where lime and coconut comes from now

Some great moments and I was surprised by how much of it I recognized. But I also thought some of it was boring

This album is tough to rate because the opening track is SO strong ("Gotta Get Up"). I also recognized several songs from the album that have been meme-ified over the years ("Without You" and "Coconut"). All from an artist I had no name recognition for. That being said, because of the memed nature I just don't see myself taking this album seriously in the future because the standout track came and went so quickly.

Parts of this were enjoyable but overall it wasn’t a memorable album. I did like Jump Into the Fire but I don’t have much else to say about it. 5.5/10.

This is exactly why I use this generator: An artist who made 1 song I knew beforehand actually made a bretty solid album. It doesn't reinvent the wheel but it's perfectly fine Rock music. Best songs are Gotta Get Up and Coconut (Without you is very much overrated). 7/10, a practical baseline.

This is the most Beatles album I’ve ever heard by a non-Beatle. I don’t remember where I heard Gotta Get Up before, but it’s a very fitting opener to the album. The rest just really reminded me of the Beatles, but if the band was actually just a single guy. Not a bad thing, but with only a quarter of the members, the album only makes a few truly memorable songs.

'Without You' to 'Coconut' has got to be one of the most jarring song transitions in popular music. How sad that both songwriters of 'Without You' ended up killing themselves. Fuck Stan Polley.

I knew the name Harry Nilsson years before I ever heard a single song because of his connections with The Beatles (all big fans) especially with John Lennon during Lennon's notorious lost week-end- they pal-ed around, drank half of Los Angeles, put tampons on each other's foreheads, etc. Funny stuff. I guess. I finally heard a song by Nilsson when I saw Midnight Cowboy (one of my favorite movies) called Everybody's Talkin' and I loved it. I got the single played it to death then forgot all about it. A few years later I heard a couple albums by Nilsson (one being The Point, the other I don't recall, B&W album cover) I liked them OK I currently have a Greatest Hits CD by Nilsson that I don't recall how I got it- I doubt I played it more than a couple times. Nilsson Schmilsson at least on paper sounds like something I would really love what with all The Beatles connections (Klaus Voormann plays bass on it!) but dammit I just don't. I feel like a traitor - The Beatles (all of them!) loved this man- frustrating! I really wanted to love it, but I will have to settle and be thankful that at least I don't hate it. Not much to hate here really. Ten inoffensive songs. Ten little indians. Folky, soft rock (Jump Into the Fire rocks harder than the other 9 songs), tin pan alley influenced stuff, supposedly funny/witty lyrics or plain old goofy as in the song Coconuts (you put the lime in...) you get the idea. Not much to love either to be honest at least on this album to these ears. I'll revisit Harry Nilsson's stuff someday. There is something there but it's not doing a whole lot for me. At least not yet.

7/10 - Feels like a perfect 3.5 to me.

I really like a few of the songs on here (Gotta Get Up, Without You) , most of the others are good, and then there's Coconut. I don't know how this song is on the album, it's so annoying and the fake accent is jarring to say the least. Light 7/10

You put the lime in the coconut

Super strong opening track, but the rest of it was a bit too slow for my taste.

I was surprised that this one. I did not have high hopes, but I mostly enjoyed the album. There were a few songs that I already knew and overall I felt it had a pretty cool vibe.

Felt like this album was ahead of its time for some reason.

This is the type of artist that you know because you’ve watched a lot of movies. There are some classic songs on here like coconut and without you that gets played in movies constantly but you don’t really know the artist or at least I don’t so he’s doomed to be known as musician that makes movie soundtracks you make moments for movies but we forget your music solid album. I think it deserves more love.

He did this song AND that song?! It’s remarkable that the same person wrote Without You and Coconut; I do recall his name because on many occasions have I sought out Coconut because frankly, I love that song thanks to Reservoir Dogs. The first half of this album is fairly forgettable but the back end is pretty good, and the penultimate song, Jump into the Fire is very good, although a minor complaint is that it should have been the closer.

Had some real bangers and some real shockers, enjoyed it still

kind of weird and wacky but had fun!

Ну ок, одну песню я где-то слышал. Но я от неё не в восторге, как и от всего альбома

The songs sound relaxing and the instrumentation is beautiful.

Ehhh aside from the odd funny song or two, this didn't do much for me

Insane whiplash going from "Without You" to "Coconut"

I enjoyed this. I knew three songs. I knew Gotta Get Up from the show Russian Doll. They played the start of that song about a thousand times in that show. I knew Without You which I think is a pretty song. I also knew Coconut which just made me want to watch Practical Magic.

Without You is a great song. The rest of the album has variety, but it's basically just ok and a little boring. Except Coconut which is ridiculous instead of boring.

Everyone knows this album, even if you don't know this album. Ol' Harry was a well known composer who did the soundtrack for Magnolia, Contact, Punch Drunk Love, and Goodfellas and his songs were on dozens of films, most famously with "Everybody's Talkin'" in Midnight Cowboy (1969), "Coconut" in Reservoir Dogs (1992), and his soundtrack work for Popeye (1980). Other notable uses include "Jump Into the Fire" in Goodfellas and "The Puppy Song" in You've Got Mail. The opening song, Gotta Get Up, was heavily featured in Russian Doll, the Natasha Lyonne show. If you haven't seen this, go start it now. I'll wait. Also, Harry had kind of a rough go of it and died of a heart attack at 52. Cass Elliot AND Keith Moon died in his London apartment. On different days. He was friends with some of the Beatles. He was born in Brooklyn and moved to L.A. At least one of his songs was about his dad heading out for cigarettes and never coming back. He had three marriages and 7 kids. All his money was embezzled by Cindy Sims, who stole multiple millions of dollars from many clients. He already had a bad heart, but this exacerbated his existing heart issues, and probably led to his death. For a guy who wrote such peppy songs, shit was rough all around for him. And let me be clear - the melody on the songs is very Leonardo Di Caprio skipping and then listening to the words, it's very "Harry? You okay, bud?" Driving along you can see all the people Who seem to have nothing to say to each other Each day they grow farther and farther away from each other Driving along you can spot all the problems On faces so tired of facing each other Each day they grow farther and farther away from each other Driving along at fifty seven thousand miles an hour Look at those people standing on the petals of a flower Look at those petals bumping for a little bit of power Driving along you can see all the people Who seem to have nothing to say to each other Each day they grow farther and farther away from each other Overall, this is probably a 3.5 out of 5, but now that I *really* listened to the lyrics, I don't think I need to hear this again, thanks. Standout: Without You. This song is rough, but it's a classic breakup song and it's really good - even if it's miserable.

2.5

Do I like the Coconut song, or do I hate it? Maybe I will never know.

The music industry in '70s USA must have been quite something. So much wealth flowing through the economy, so many people buying records, the big record companies could fund singer-songwriters like Schmilsson to release multiple records, even ones with cry-for-help cover pics like this one. Who is he again? Oh yeah, he's the "Without You" one. (Not "Everything I Own", that was Bread, completely different!). The first two songs I Liked (ie enough to play again) were Without You, and Let the Good Times Roll, ie the first two songs written by others. (Coconut was kinda interesting, but I'm gonna need a ten foot pole to engage with anything sung in a "Caribbean accent" by a North American etc.) But then Jump Into The Fire was pretty interesting! So what do I say overall? The album is not uninteresting - the multi-tracking vocals is decent and apparently was kinda path-breaking. So I'll say Not Bad, 6/10.

Really enjoyed this

Did not know that coconut came from this album and artist but it makes sense. This was decent with some memorable moments like the first song which was used prominently in Russian Doll. But all in all not exciting enough to wow me

Classic

Not bad but it didn’t stand out

wist niet dat can't live if living is "without you" van hem was coconut is catchy.. redelijk funky album maar geen genre-defining album denk ik

You put the lime in the what??

Just rewatched Midnight Cowboy which of course has the superhit Nilsson song Everybody's Talking so this was a nice bit of kismet. Late 60s/early 70s audiences didn't know how good they had it with singer-songwriter stuff. Nilsson, Bacharach, Randy Newman, BJ Thomas, Hal David, Phil Ochs...it's just hit after hit after hit with these guys. Nilsson Schmilsson's pretty great because it's this collection of very Beatles inflected pop structures but because Nilsson's a weirdo, it starts to wander off into stranger directions like (the now overplayed (or maybe it was just my dad) but back then, really bizarre) Coconut. Favorite Tracks: Driving Along, The Moonbeam Song, Down, Jump Into The Fire

Me resultó más interesante de lo esperado

Without You , temazo.

Noen klassikere!

Really a pretty album. Not quite what I was expecting, not the most singer/songwriter album you could imagine, there's some character to it. Without You takes the cake, even though Coconut is pretty fun. Pretty fine album all around. 3.5/5.

+Gotta Get Up +Without You +Coconut

Good calming music

Had no idea who this was, then the first bars of "Gotta Get Up" played and I at least recognized that one. Driving Along, Early in the Morning, The Moonbeam Song, and Down these were all nice but didn't stick with me. Without You is a classic, though I'm partial to the Air Supply cover and didn't really feel like this cover did much with it, but maybe without this cover's popularity we wouldn't have gotten Air Supply's version. Coconut is another familiar though I think mostly from cultural reference rather than ever actually hearing it played. Let the Good Times Roll, another cover I again don't feel he did much to improve on the original. Jump Into the Fire, extended instrumental break felt a little much I'll Never Leave You was fine for a treacly album closer. Overall, this feels like middle of the road 70s pop and while I went ahead and added Gotta Get Up to the library nothing else here was interesting enough to save for another listen. I did listen to Air Supply's Without You a few times though.

I only knew Harry Nilsson as the "lime in the coconut" guy, but he's got a lot more going on. These are short, peppy, well-written songs that play with lyrics and rhythm in a delightful way. It's a very '70s album, but a very good one.

It was a nice listen.

This was inoffensive but felt bit genric maybe due to how much 70s we’ve had recently, Nilsson Schmilsson is a good album name though

Always liked Nilsson's radio singles, Everybody's Talking is an all-time top 10 for me, lesser but good are Without You and Jump into the Fire on this one, and how can you possibly not like Coconut? But... never listened to a whole Nilsson album, or noticed how much he sounds like a Beatle on some tracks, good call.

Probably the best album name of all time.

Who could forget about Harry Nilsson's greatest contribution to popular culture: 'Ken lee.......tulibu dibu douchooo.....'

Pretty cool, cool production and singing and some cool covers. Best tracks: without you and coconut.

Seems like a cluster of great songs I've heard in many different contexts without a clue they formed a whole called an album. The whole works though when listened to in sequence.

Não é o meu estilo. Gostei da The Moonbeam Song

Grande Banger romântico Without you. A parte disso não teve momentos memoráveis

The good songs are really good! The rest of them are a bit more ho-hum and the piano sounds a lot alike from one song to the next. But still quite enjoyable.

Good album! A bit of George Harrisonish ;)

Nothing special but deserving the 3 stars.

Listening to it instantly takes me back to that era. Artists like Fleetwood Mac. The Vocals are warm and pleasing. Nothing flashy, but perfectly suited. Harmonies hit in all the right places reminds me of the Beach Boys at times. I love the production choices. Early in the Morning pairs a chill instrumental with medium-to-higher vocals. The Moonbeam Song goes softer. Sometimes the lyrics blend so deep into the production they almost drown not in a bad way, just becoming part of the whole texture. This is the kind of album that reveals itself over multiple listens. Without You is my favourite track, even though I kept hearing Mariah the whole time.

Somehow the album cover fits the music perfectly. This music is charmingly relaxed. Some excellent songs - "Jump Into the Fire" is incredible. "Without You" is one of the first and best power ballads. The rest is very solid pop music. THREE STARS

Oh! This is THAT guy. Nice. Following Without You with Coconut is hillarious.

oh that's who that is

Another nice and warm sounding album from the 70s. This era is quickly becoming one of my favourites just for the sound of the recordings alone. Interesting songs and arrangements here. I don’t know much about Harry Nilsson but I definitely want to hear more from him so I’ll have to get into his discography.

Das Album ist eher so mittelmäßig mit klarem Höhepunkt Without You - Das sagt aber eher was über das schlechte Management von Badfinger. Jedes Cover von diesem Song wurde zu einem Welthit und Badfinger schafft es nichtmals auf die Liste... 3 Punkte für eine bessere zweite Albumhälfte (Ausgeschlossen der Bonustracks)

I forgot about some of these songs and never knew where they came from. Good album which I now realize was the background of my childhood.

i don't have much to say about this album. it was a nice listen, though i don't see myself revisiting most of the songs besides without you. 3 / 5 stars

this is the funniest album art and title of all time and the music all being the most soulful 70s pop ballads i've ever heard only adds to that

Not what I was expecting after knowing ¨Everybody's Talking At Me.¨ A good, kinda weird album, except for the Coconut song. Lame.

this one is fine. I'm not sure I'll really come back to it much, but I don't mind it. My favorite songs were probably "Driving Along" and "Moonbeam Song" I cannot for the life of me figure out where I've heard "Coconut" before. I feel like it was on a cartoon, like Adventure Time or something but idk

Yeh it’s nice, without you is good with English and Spanish which bumps this up to 3, otherwise it’s nice.

уе харашо

I found this album to be very eclectic and unique. It went from a sitcom-esque approach to a song to deeply emotional expositions. I liked this more than I thought but I don't think I would be very motivated to revisit it in it's entirety again.

6/10 Putting Beatle style orchestration ona song don't make you a Beatle. Surely that's obvious. Writing an ending to your songs would help. Makes sense Badfinger (ultimate weak Beatles pastiche band) wrote the big hit here It's fine, just a bit novelty and weak. And Mariah Carey RUINED Without You, and it has taken 30 years for me to be able to listen to this version.

Favorite Track: Gotta Get Up

Chill. Fun vibes.

To była dziwna płyta. Czy ona była na poważnie? No bo sądząc po tytule i większości tekstów to chyba nie. Najlepsze, co mogę o niej powiedzieć, to że nie była nudna. Była specyficzna i ekscentryczna, co nawet mi się podobało. Ale nie mogę z czystym sumieniem naciągnąć tej oceny. 6.5/10 równane w dół.

Best album yet.

Not really into this album but I'll round up to 3 just for "Coconut". 2.5

what do you put in the coconut again?

This is a good 70’s pop-rock album. Love the use of organ and mellotron. Nilsson has a great voice. An enjoyable album, much better than many pop records of the era, but maybe a little overrated? Regardless, I’m glad I got to spend some time with this record.

We get the theme song from Russian Doll on Groundhog Day? This randomizer is really fucking with me. As Felicia Anton (z"l) used to say, it's all linked up. Why don't I appreciate Nilsson more? Because of Without You and Lime in the Coconut, that's why. I'm giving a 4 to side 1 and a 2 to side 2 for an average of 3, which feels low but the bad songs sure are bad.

The American Beatle!

This had some good songs and some not so good ones. It was worthy listen but didn’t get me too tingly.

A kind of fun album. Not really my thing though. Did not really speak to me.

"Without You" is a beautiful song. I find the whole album more of the same.

Really solid record, liked the album tracks more than the “hits” for the most part.

I’ve heard of this artist but don’t think I’ve heard any of his music. Cool stuff though.

70s era singer English songwriter. It's fun and well written. Totally see how this landed in the list. Glad I listened to it, but might not be someone I'll gravitate to again in the near future.

3.5

TIL he was the lime in the coconut originator. Some of the other covers were interesting. Overall kinda bland music though.

I never thought I'd find the original version of "Paulinha" here today. BRAZIL MENTIONED! viva Calcinha Preta!

This is good quality music - but it doesn't quite hit my mark. I do love campy, comedic, unserious music. But something doesn't quite vibe in here with me. There are a lot of good moments, especially in the first half. The first four songs are a nice liseten, The Moonbeam Song was very cute, Coconut is ridiculous, and the rest kinda feels weird. Vocals are just about as strong as I've heard so far on this journey. He has awesome control, grit, and a nice tone. I didn't hear a single sour note in here. 5/5 vocals. Production is pretty basic; good, but nothing special. I enjoyed hearing the sound of the organ keys clacking almost creating a beat in Early in the Morning. I appreciate the instrument combinations in here, e.g. the strings and brass, even if it's not all my cup of tea. It's a cohesive work, if not a bit of a drag. The album cover and title really pulls it home. I feel like its a decent 2.8/5. Will be revisiting a couple songs most likely.

6.5/10

Fantastyczny tytuł albumu, to po pierwsze. Fajna okładka, to po drugie. Piękne wykonanie "Without You", to po trzecie. "Coconut" też mega, przezabawny kawałek. That being said, to jest dla mnie 3,5, ale pewnie nie będę wracał do tego albumu, biorąc pod uwagę, ile innych rzeczy jest do przesłuchania.

Definitely has some hits, but I’m not a huge fan.

A surprisingly high number of bangers in here.

A lot of stuff came from him that I didnt realize! Very Beatles

Excellent voice, Without you is an excellent ballad. Other surprising good songs, although not in my taste of music.

Como puede ser la misma persona la que canta "without you" (y encima se la canta en español tambien) que "coconut". Un album muy dibertido

Without You is one of the all-time classic power ballads, a really great song. Nilsson also did Everybody’s Talking (though it’s not on this album) and that’s also one for the ages. He didn’t write either song though. The material on Nilsson Schmilsson (great title) isn’t up to those kinds of standards. It’s ok, and there are some nice songs, but it’s not stellar, at least to me.

A real mix of quality on this album. At times so jarring that I could really get into it.

Sounds more like putting your entire music library on shuffle than an actual album. Sometimes you get a McCartney-esque 5* star ballad. Sometimes the lime is in the coconut.

Coconut was a fun song

Better than the previous two, still mid but has a bit of substance

The ratio of Lime being added to the Coconut is about a 3.5

You know those songs you have heard a thousand times but you don't know who they are by? Well, The Cars probably do most of them. This album has one of the most prominent ones, Coconut. Is anyone else surprised this song was by a guy with the last name Nilsson? If I had to guess I probably would have said Harry Belafonte. Anyway, this is a good album, a hefty dose of the Beatles with a pinch of Beach Boys harmonies.

Fun, high energy. Coconut!

It's alright. He's got a great voice. I prefer his version of Without You to the Christmas lady's.

„Without You“ klingt in der Version sogar besser. Davon ab aber sonst eher langweilig

OMG - Without You is giving me serious flashbacks to hearing this all the time on the radio when I was a kid Coconut sounds like it should have been a Ween song, but google tells me it was featured in Resevoir Dogs Unexpected and funny, I'm not really sure what to make of it I kind-of like it, maybe . . .

I'd heard his songs before, but I never knew the artist's name. Now I do. Listening to the album felt like my dad driving down the highway, haha.

ai to morrendo com essa capa hes just a guy FAVS (top 3): gotta get up, down, jump into te fire menções honrosas: early in the morning, the moonbeam song, coconut, I'll never lose you, how can i be sure of you compraria o vinil: nao ah a primeira música é bem boa acho q por eu conhecer botei as espectativas mt altas KKKKKKK mas é legalzinho nota final: 3/5

Just fine

Good vibes, solid stuff. Surprised I recognised two of the songs

A maddening mix of schmaltzy ballads (Without You), Ween-like annoying novelty tunes (Coconut), music hall numbers and genuinely great "American Beatles in the 70s" classics. One to extract the gooduns for a playlist i reckon. 3 stars for the rest.

Pretty good music, the lyrics were a little goofy though

Nice album, some songs I liked, good to hear on the background

A fun listen. Recognized Coconut of course and also Without You.

So that's who wrote those songs

Some great classic songs in this album, I didn't know who this was before listening.

Coconut.

Interesting and ahead of its time for sure but not very listenable

Big ball of cheese with a few wonderful songs

First listened on 15th March 2026. Favourite song is Coconut. Probably my least favourite Nilsson album, it's the least memorable.

Good

Wasn’t as big a fan as I thought I’d be… last song was an absolute winner though

On est dans de la pop plutôt classique mais je dis ça avec plus de 50 ans de musiques pop qui me sépare de la sortie initiale. Difficile de juger sans le remettre dans le contexte de l'époque. Pour ma part ce sera sans plus.

Not my thing was aight

Gotta Get Up - Wow this is not what I expected from the cover. I like this! It has a kind of dissonant feeling I really enjoy. I like how the chorus sounds the most, and I really like the horns. Driving Along - A little less of my vibe, but it’s a pleasant listen. Not much to say about this one. Early in the Morning - I really like the instrumental on this one, I assume it’s some sort of synth? It’s very nice. A little slow for me otherwise but a very chill song. The Moonbeam Song - Also a lot slower than I genuinely like. It is very pretty. Feels like it’s going to put me to sleep though. Down - I don’t have much to say about this one. It wasn’t bad or anything, just very neutral. Kind of just slipped by me. Without You - I like the piano in this one a lot! Very pretty. Still slower than I usually like, but it’s got a sound that makes me enjoy it more. Oh this chorus is GORGEOUS. Wow! This is going on my melancholy playlist. That’s beautiful. Coconut - …this is where this song came from? I know this from my dad referencing it all the time. It at least gets points for being weird and interesting to listen to. Let the Good Times Roll - This is fun! Very nice and upbeat. I like it. Jump Into the Fire - Oh this bass line is AWESOME. Beautiful intro. I like this one a lot. It jams. The guitar at the end is very very fun. I’ll Never Leave You - Oooh nice strings. Very pretty song. Not so much my thing, but very pretty. OVERALL: This would be a 3.5 if I could, but I can’t, so it’s making a solid 3. It’s a nice album, just mostly not my style. A bit too slow for my tastes. Favorites were Gotta Get Up and Without You, which was the one slower song that really hit for me.

Kind of neat!

Started off strong but the rest of it was just very generic classic rock. I like classic rock don’t get me wrong, I would listen to this album again but the vocals got more annoying as the album went on. Wild horses is a classic tho

I wanted to like this more as a pseudo Nilsson fan but couldn’t get there.

Another of those albums I've heard about for years, but have never listened to before. The one song I absolutely knew was Without You. This was everywhere back when it came out, and one I was fine with but never loved. Reading about the album before listening, I thought for certain it'd be one I'd love. As the album began I liked each song, but none of them blew me away. There were production choices I thought were good, but again they didn't give me that smile that I'll get when I'm happily surprised by some flourish. I had no clue that the song Coconut was "that" song Coconut, so I smiled then out of sheer surprise given I haven't heard it in a million years. Ultimately I did end up liking this, but not loving it. My main thought was that it is too Beatlesque. This solidified during the drum solo of Jump Into The Fire and I was thinking how it felt stolen from Abbey Road. And then I thought to all of those flourishes and how they really weren't all that original. Not sure what rating this will get...

Chill. Coconut song and another often played song

Oh without you van mariah is van hem. Heerlijke drums op vrijwel alle nummers.

Nice old pop rock sound, I liked the more rock songs on here.

First two songs provide such an uppidy and fun vibe I love it. Sounds like music I would listen too early in the morning. Ok the third song was called early in the morning and that really freaked me out. The song coconut was trending at some point which is probably why it has so many streams but who even discovered this peculiar song. This album wasn't my personal cup of tea but I like listening to older music because it reminds me of my grandpa. Some songs I really did like however, so yea.

I didn't know who he was. Allegedly the amaerican beatles? Interesting... i liked without you the most.

It’s good, but I’m not hearing an album that deserves cult status. A decent singer songwriter with a nice vibe.

Gotta Get Up has a great beat, almost Paul Simon like enunciations. I don’t love Harry’s voice. It feels a little like broadway. Driving Along is more my beat it reminds me of Poppy, Coconut does too but I don’t like that one as much. The album flows nicely together, I really liked Early in the Morning and the Moonbeam song. Down is so fun! Without you felt very Beatles like. Let the Good Times Roll was fun!

I've known about Harry Nilsson for a long time, but I hadn't actually listened to him until now. This might, partially, be because I unfairly categorized him as a Beach Boys copy, a band that I'm not generally too fond of. On 'Nilsson Schmilsson', the singer definitely has a voice of his own, somewhere between the late 60's Pop Rock acts and the refined Yacht Rockers of the 70's. Based on his last name I assumed he was of Swedish decent and apparently his great-grandfather was from here originally. Nice! Positives: Nice, smooth voice. Reminds me a bit of Donald Fagen. I'm not usually too into Baroque Pop but the horns are mixed very nicely, I like a drier and closer mix for horns in Pop/Rock rather than bigger, heavy-reverb sounds. The production overall is fantastic, right up my alley and very well suited for this style of music. The album is uplifting and happy without being annoying or trying too hard. Any record gets bonus points from me for having a mellotron, the best instrument ever invented. The late Beatles/Beach Boys style harmonies are done beautifully, though not as well as by those bands. Great piano playing! Negatives: The very slow songs like 'The Moonbeam Song' are quite boring to me. 'Coconut' sounds like Harry Nilsson is trying to imitate one of Paul McCartney's many joke songs. Who in their right mind would want to do that? Best songs: Driving Along, Without You, Jump Into the Fire, I'll Never Leave You Worst songs: The Moonbeam Song, Coconut

good style but too slow

2 hits on the record, both classics. A mostly upbeat, positive album. Won't likely hit my "listen again" list though.

Like it 3/5

5/10

bello triste, devi stare nel mood motivo per cui ho trovato un po’ pesante l’ascolto di tutto l’album. resta però che alcune tracce sono molto belle per esempio without you

he slams it out of the park with the excellent "Without You" and then he chooses to follow that up with the kooky "Coconut." *shakes head* i am going to brick him up inside the tunnel under ocean boulevard like "The Cask of Amontillado"

one word review - random

ok

a lot of good songs throughout the album

Oliko tässä alkuperäinen Ken Lee biisi? Hauska levy ja hyviä biisejä. Joskus tonniygönen yllättää.

Loved coconut song, withnout you and the moonbean song

- onks tän kaverin nimi sketsi vai - aaa niii nilsson schmilsson oli levyn nimi joo got it - mitä mittee tää whitout youhan on absolute classic, nilsson schmilsson youre the man - ai seki oli coveri vaan, ihan vuoristorataa tää levy - ihan hauskoja biisejä, ei kyl mitää tajunnanräjäyttävää taikka huomion vangitsevaa tavaraa

A couple great songs, but most of it didn't really land for me. Plus I really hate "Coconut".

The original coconut song! Fun, easy listening. No hard hitting lyrics, just whimsical enjoyment. 7/10

High 3! Surprisingly not terrible.

not really my cup of tea, but there are some good tunes on this. some crap ones too. great sounding drums

Some of the songs really don't hold up but some are still pretty good and "without you" is a good cover 6/10

First listen. Only knew “coconut”. Not bad but not something I’d listen to again.

Reminds me of the Beatles! Strong vocals, powerful piano riffs, and chords. Some recognizable tracks on this album that I've heard before. LIME IN THE COCONUT COMES FROM THIS?!

About ten years ago an aunt and uncle expressed disbelief that I was not familiar with the the catalog of Harry Nilsson, so I went and bought this album. He really was underrated/unsung, at least to people roughly my age and younger. Some great and classic songs here, my favorite of which is "Jump Into the Fire" which will always remind me of the helicopter scene from Goodfellas. I would give this 3.5 stars (or even 3.9!) but it doesn't quite reach 4 for me.

Really good album. Gotta get up, jump into the fire, and I'll never leave you were highlights. Coconut was wild, impressed it was a hit at the time

Okay schmokay.

Great for cooking

Sounds like the Beatles

Nice album. Middle of middle-of-the-road. 1. Gotta Get Up 2. Without You 3. Jump Into The Fire

This one’s a mixed bag. At its core, it feels like a solid early-’70s singer-songwriter record, but that’s also the problem—it doesn’t always stand out. The piano-led tracks could easily pass for Billy Joel, and honestly, it’s hard to shake the feeling that its inclusion on the list owes a lot to Without You rather than the album as a whole. That said, there are flashes of brilliance: Jump Into the Fire is a swaggering, bass-driven monster that feels way ahead of its time, while Coconut is… well, ridiculous—but undeniably memorable. The rest? Competent, pleasant, but rarely transcendent. A couple of iconic moments surrounded by fairly standard fare. Worth hearing for the highs, but not essential beyond that.

It's nice to finally put a name to a song I've heard plenty with Gotta Get Up by Nilsson Schmilsson. Shout out to the TV show "Russian Doll" for utilizing a fun song so well and right in tune with its ironic roots.

Gotta Get Up Without You Jump Into the Fire

Interesting, extremely varied

6/10 He put the lime in the coconut? I didn't know that. 12-05-2025

Good

7/10 some of the songs stuck out

Decent, saved like half the songs. And Without You's grown on me a lot, wild that it's right next to Coconut on the album

I didn’t know this was the original Without You

Solid album.

Ok

It was fine. Early power ballad progenitor. Would probably like if I came back to it.

The album starts with "Gotta Get Up", a great song that I had no idea was by this guy. After that, the album becomes a lot less remarkable. I can see why he is called the American Beatle, but I don't think his music deserves a full album like the Beatles' do. 3/5

I fully expected to go into this ready to write a scathing sarcastic review, but you know what, it was kinda neat!

Oh yeah, that song! I liked the first track and ‘Down’ the most. Honestly not a big fan of ‘Without You’ or ‘Coconut’ but it’s interesting having them back to back in the album. He’s a weird guy! Not sure what to make of him but I think he has a knack for a pop song.

It's fine I guess, I knew the coconut song and the first song I just heard in the Weapons movie.

Being aware of Without You I wasn’t sure if I’d like this album but actually it was really quite enjoyable.

An odd mixture but an easy listen. Gotta Get Up from Russian Doll, Cocunut from Reservoir Dogs, and Without You from Bridget Jones all instantly recognisable.

This album, while kind of enjoyably whimsical, still isn’t as interesting as the fact that both Mama Cass and Keith Moon died in the same bedroom in a London flat he owned.

This was a good album with a lot of songs I didn't know he did!

3.4 Actually thought for 1970 this was pretty solid. Coconut was/is annoying, Fred Neil cover seemed unnecessary, but other than that it's an interested album with a slight genre change here and there, but producing generally enjoyable music.

4 stars for "Without You", which is one of the best songs ever and none of the covers can do it justice. 1 stars for the general vibe of the album since it brought joy to my day. -2 stars for "Coconut" for which I have long had an irrational dislike.

With such a non-serious title, I was ready to dismiss this. Some catchy tunes. The coconut song was too much. Highlights: gotta get up

I found this album bizarre. I know this was a weird time in the world but I'm not sure who this is for but it wasn't unlistenable by any means. I don't think I'd heard Coconut in its original form before so that was also interesting.

3.5

Super upbeat, could definitely see myself listening to some of these songs on a summer day.

*shrug*

Damn, Ken Lee into Tarantino is one hell of a one-two punch man

Some gems in here - gotta get up has been my alarm for years - but a bit too slow generally for me

Before listening to Nilsson Schmilsson, I'd only knowingly heard two of his songs before: Everybody's Talkin', which is a nailed-on all-time classic, and Without You, a maudlin staple of FM hits radio. Disappointed to see that Everybody's Talkin' wasn't on this album. It turns out that his two best-known songs were both covers! Upon closer inspection, it appears that Coconut was a Nilsson song when I thought it must have been a cover of an old calypso classic. Apparently not! Cultural appropriation it might be, but it's a tune nonetheless. The cover of Let the Good Times Roll is irredeemably bad though. Enjoyed the drum solo during Jump Into the Fire, although the first half of that song is horrible 70s rock. Clearly a talented songwriter, but this is not an album I'll ever listen to again. No regrets on hearing it once though.

Uno que otro temazo por ahí, pero en general está regularito

5 - AVERAGE

Ken Leeeeeeeee The cover seems to be trying hard to downplay a lot of what's here. The runtime was about right, but I way prefer Frank Schnieder's version of Coconut.

Quite pedestrian

This album has a surprising amount of charm to it.

Quite interesting, I feel like there's a mix of weird psychedelic stuff with some classic rock/pop, but there's also some really great folky emotive songs. I feel like his voice is good, but he uses so many different voices and weird accents, and like singing is Spanish and stuff, but its certainly interesting. There are some really great string parts on here, some kind of reminded me of some stuff form 5 leaves left, maybe they were inspired, as that came out before this. There's some interesting piano parts although some feel a bit cheesy and stereotypical, as well as some of the guitar parts. Also quite a lot of the songs are really average, but there's a good few great ones. Favourite songs: the moonbeam song, down, without you, jump into the fire, I'll never leave you. Overall around 6/10

Don't see what the fuss is about. Sure Without You is great (but no better than Badfingers original), and Coconut is insanely different, but the rest is mediocre.

Sorry dude but your album was just a little too cheesy for me

was not my vibe, have heard several of the tracks before tho

Day 123 First listen- I really enjoyed the album, some tracks stood out and some just faded away, will need to come back to it soon. (3/5) coconut is such a jam

Some good stuff

I was going to give this a second listen but then couldn’t be bothered after the second track. Best song “without you” So giving it a 3 for that reason.

I had never heard of this guy, it was an interesting discovery. The nickname "American Beatle" is appropriate, there's an obvious spiritual similarity. I enjoyed it overall, it's fun and unpretentious music with a weird twist. Vocals and instruments are good, ranging from "competent" to "slightly unhinged". The songs are a mixed bag, I liked half of them (especially Gotta Get Up, which has been stuck in my head for two days, and the almost psychedelic Jump Into The Fire), but the other half were boring (Moonbeam Song is terrible, and don't get me started on the coconut song...). Without You is cheesy, but in a good way ; I only knew the Mariah Carey cover before, I didn't even know it was a cover. Not exactly a masterpiece, but still a nice little slice of 70s pop-rock. 5/10

A nice discovery.

For most people these days, if you mentioned the name Harry Nilsson you’ll be met with a blank look, but there was a time when he was one of the biggest selling recording artists in the 70s. By all accounts though, he was a shy, private man who hated the limelight and preferred to spend his time getting outrageously drunk with his best friend John Lennon. If you listen to this album, then there will be at least a couple of tracks that you will recognise from the jaunty Gotta Get Up, the maudlin Without You, the genuine rock banger Jump into the Fire or the (borderline racist) novelty song Coconut. This is a great example of a 70s album that mixes genres and moods with gleeful abandon but whether that makes for a cohesive listen is another matter. Lime-in-de-coconut-tastic!

Only ever heard his "Coconut" song and was surprised to hear that pop up while listening. The rest seemed pretty okay.

I thought this was pretty enjoyable and pleasant until the wheels fell off in the tail end. Can’t believe the coconut song is in here. High highs, mid lows.

Probably the first “influential” artist that I liked

Strong opening that was hard to live up to. Overall pretty solid early 70’s singer songwriter.

A hidden gem. Enjoyable and varied.

Friend of the Beatles. Worth an extra star

such a dork, weird energy, one-hit wonders, but strangely enjoyable.

Det er faen meg drøyt å ha to meme-låter av et sånt kaliber back to back. Legendarisk! Mulig jeg er små-psychotisk for å mene at Coconut uironisk er den beste låta på skiva, men hva kan jeg si? Reservoir Dogs gjorde et inntrykk på meg som ikke kan overvurderes da jeg så den i min spede ungdom. Without You, på den annen side, er mer ironisk dritbra fordi den er så over the top. Gotta Get Up er også ace. Ønskte at mer av skiva hørtes sånn ut. 10/10 albumcover og -tittel, da.

Earned its additional star by unlocking a Simpsons reference. Other than that pretty whimsical and sweet. Fav tracks: Gotta Get Up. Saved a song: N RYM: N

Has a couple of "hits" i recognize but this style of music isnt for me.

Yeah, it's fine. Didn't feel anything, but it's not like it was bad or boring or anything. Just a completely unimpressive pop rock album but totally passable.

I liked it.

A couple of strong tracks

I was trying to figure out why this “okay” album is on the list, and finally realized that it is EXACTLY mediocre. You need to hear it before you die because it isn’t good enough for heaven or bad enough for hell. Exactly 3/5 but not a smidge more!

Editor's Note: This album was accidentally placed here. It is supposed to be on the 1001 Albums you'll be dubiously convinced to listen to based on someone's curious fascination with mediocrity before you die or you slowly decline in discernment until this album seems beautiful... otherwise known as death.

Spank me hog

Not a dan

There are some nice songs there, though perhaps I'm missing a bit more energy. Some songs could do with more percussion. 7/10

This is okay, I really don't understand the Harry Nilsson hype. 'The Point' concept album started autoplaying after and I actually enjoyed that more than this.

good

Zoals waarschijnlijk meerdere reviews schrijven is Nilsson een John Lennon/Paul McCartney hybrid, meer leunend op de songwriting van de tweede. Ben door de jaren heen wel vaker in contact gekomen met z'n discografie, die veel groter is dan je zou verwachten van een 'troubled musician'. Eerder in zijn carrière zag je de transitie van folk naar barok pop, terwijl hij hier meer pop rock omarmde. Later werd vocal jazz meer zijn ding. Best een interessante tijdlijn om eens in te duiken. Maar anyway, dit is wel zijn populairste werk, en misschien wel het meest constante album die ik heb gehoord van hem. Als het wat meer orkestraal wordt is het zelfs alsof je Brian Wilson ook nog weet te bespeuren in zijn talent, wat de mix aan zielsverwanten natuurlijk wel echt heel legendarisch maakt. Maar er blijft ook wel een gevoel achter van nét niet het niveau waar mee het wordt vergeleken. Misschien heeft het te maken dat de tracklist niet heel goed met elkaar matcht, waarin quirky en melancholisch elkaar te abrupt afwisselen. 7/10 Highlights: Gotta Get Up Coconut The Moonbeam Song

Best een aardige kennismaking met Harry. Zij naam komt vaak voorbij maar zelden de moeite genomen echt in zijn werk te duiken. Op Nilsson Schmilsson staan echt wel wat leuke nummers die wat van zijn songwriting skills laten zien. Echter is het geheel geen geheel en springen de nummers en beetje van de hak op de tak en blijf ik met een gemengd gevoel achter. 6,5/10 Highlights Gonna get up

3 out of 5. Definitely more banging than finding a man in his robe, but Coconut ended up annoying me a little bit.

Gotta Get Up 3.5 Driving Along 3.3 Early in the Morning 3.4 The Moonbeam Song 3.2 Down 3.6 Without You 3.4 Coconut 3.2 Let the Good Times Roll 3.2 Jump into the Fire 3.6 I'll Never Leave You 3.3 Score: 3.37

This is an interesting album, but not so sure about early 70's quasi-soft rock/pop. Gotta Get Up is kinda catchy. Nothing bad, nothing great.

7/10

Definitely fun at times, not so much at other times. Would relisten to at least some of the more fun stuff.

He's kind of giving Brian Wilson on the cover, but as we all know, he's the American Beatle, endorsed by Lennon and McCartney personally. Unfortunately, Coconut is one of his biggest hits and very annoying, with the rest being pleasant enough but never coming off all that special (I much prefer Badfinger's original version of "Without You"). When it comes to American Beatles, give me Emitt Rhodes any day. Between a 2 and a 3, but as a Natasha Lyonne fan, I'll be nice because of "Gotta Get Up"

Sad

shepuda lime in da coconu

Didn't have much expectations heading in, but this was really solid.

Delightful

Always thought the title is kinda goofy. Nilsson Schmilsson sounds like a nickname someone gave to him in primary school. The album itself is interesting. Opens up with 2 straightforward but good songs, then Early in the Morning hits and it's kind of a headscratcher. The Moonbeam Song has pretty vocal harmonies but not super interesting sound overall. Down is kinda proto-Billy Joel, at least some of his more lively stuff. Without you is a great ballad, has some of that Beatles grandiosity to it that I really like. But why did he think that putting Coconut right after it would be a good idea? Not only does it not much the vibe at all because it's goofy as fuck but also he does this really annoying accent on it. The final moments are solid but a bit inconsistent. I quite like the album but not enough to give it 4 stars.

This was fine, but the best songs on here are covers

Without you is an absolute classic. But I want to know what he was smoking when he wrote about putting a lime in the coconut.

NIce!

Love the album cover. Not quite so sure on the album. Its a good length so have listened to it a few times and whilst its generally very pleasant (and i can see the Beatles comparisons) not much really lands with me. Without You is unfortunately in the played to death camp and Coconut is on the wrong side of fun. I do like Jump into the Fire - that has a groove.

That's not my taste in music - But ok

This was a fun album to listen to. Airy and light, which was not at all what I expected.

Great album name. Decent songs

It wasn’t hard on the ears but didn’t endear me to explore further into the Harry Nilsson catalogue.

This was a pretty good album in it's time but doesn't hold up too well today. But I still like to put the line in the coconut and drink it all up... 😆

3.5

uh-oh! don't know every song on this album, but know a couple and am fond of those that i do! edit: primarily liked the songs i had already saved, but definitely a good isten nonetheless!

Pretty much everyone knows "Without You" I'm sure, but I did not know it was from Nilsson Schmilsson.

Nilsson’s cover of “Without You” is, well, absolutely definitive. Nothing else on the album is nearly as strong. And one of the other singles, “Coconut,” which is sung in some “island” way, is borderline offensive. What a mixed bag!

Had some very strong moments but overall pretty boring to me. Had no idea the lime in the coconut song was gonna be on here lmao.

The first few songs had be pretty bored and wondering how much more was left. Then Coconut came on and I woke up. Super fun song that I for half my life I thought my dad made up when he would sing it around the house. I didn’t realize they were this guy. Next couple songs were good too, also ones I didn’t know were Nilsson. The rest was pretty mediocre at best. And I am too familiar with Without You. I really just don’t like it. So, about three or four songs saved this album that I was counting the run time on.

Veldig positivt overraska. Lukter beatles. Drøyt halvveis gjennom albumet i skrivende stund, men hittil er det 3,5! (angrer litt, kom plutselig munnspill ut av ingenting...)

Good lil album

5/10

Good.

More childhood am radio. Some really good songs, some really bad songs, and some really fun songs.

It somehow sounds both distinctively unique and all over the place at once.

I was looking forward to this one as I already knew a few of the songs and that some of my favourite artists held Nilsson in high regard. In total though, this is too kitsch for my liking, with too many of the songs veering into camp experimentation and playfulness which feels of its time. No doubting the creativity and songwriting skills. Elsewhere, a small number of the songs show a heightened prowess and great vocals but this is dampened by some less than impressive vocal moments in other tracks. It's surprisingly inconsistent.

I will never become the biggest Harry Nilsson fan but this record is really good. The opener is really great.

big ELO vibes on the opening tracks - love the light organ/clavinet-style instrument on 'Early In the Morning'. Trying too hard in the post-Lennon/Ono world

Ett par bangers, ett par olyssningsbara

Classic tunes, but a bit kitch? Russian Doll vibes.

Put the lime in the coconut! Another song that I had no idea who sings this and if I ever did look, i'd say "Who the heck is Harry Nilsson?" and move on. Pleasantly surprised when it came on while listening to this album. This album is all over the place and it was difficult to peg just what type of music I was listening to. From pop to jazz to emotional ballads to the humorous "Coconut", it had a bit of everything. Hard to believe Without You and Coconut are on the same album......let alone consecutive tracks. It's grown on me after a few listens and the album cover gives Marc Rebillet vibes.....so i'm going to imagine that Harry Nilsson is just as playful and goofy.

Pretty cool sonically, very familiar songs that I wouldn't have IDed as this artist.

Aunque sólo sea por la clara influencia en Lennon y esa canción eterna que es "without you", este disco merece buena valoración. Es irregular y a ratos caótico.

I definitely see the comparisons to the Beatles, though I don't think Nilson is quite at the same level as either Paul John or George Still, one of the best written pop albums I've ever heard. The final three tracks let it down a little, but this was still a great listen. This is the first album on the list so far that I'd never heard of prior but would consider relistening to. Fav Track: Without You 7.5/10

Ihan mukavaa musiikkia, ainakin yksi klassikko, joka tehty coveriksi myöhemmin. 3/5.

Listening to "Gotta Get Up," I thought, ah Jesus what is this next half hour going to be. And then the next half hour was Gas. This feels like an album where he truly made whatever the fuck music he felt like he wanted to. And he just so happens to be great at all of it. Makes me want to make my own album. Name it Davis Schmavis. Put a photo of me in my boxer briefs on the cover. Little bit of bedhead. Teeth not brushed. But you know that music would be decent as fuck. Edit: well this was way weaker than I remember. Dude could definitely write a hit, although a lot of them are pretty schmaltzy, and not ones I'd return to right away. Fave songs: - Driving Along - Early in the Morning - The Moonbeam - Down - Coconut (lmao. Why is this such a stellar vibe.) - Jump Into The Fire

I didn’t know who Hary Nilsson was, but then heard this record and knew two of the songs off of it. I was flashed back to the Rules of Attraction instantly.

Put de lime in de coconut

3.2/overall okay, but not much stood out

I like Harry Nilsson in theory, but I’m not sure I like him so much in practice. All respect to the Beatles, I can’t quite see where he was the best songwriter of the era. I truly wanted to like this more than I was able to like this. Middling Schmiddling

Some great songs on here and some not so great- I’ll be so happy if I never hear coconut again. Who knew he wrote without you (‘Ken Lee’)?

Nice

Enjoyed that - thought I didn’t know them but I was pleasantly surprised

This album has it all! It really runs the gambit from a few genuine hits, a couple clunkers, a few nice grooves to drive to, a pinch of cheesyness, and a Spanish version of a hit on the same album as the English! BTW: Is Harry Nilsson the godfather of putting the "schm" sound in front of words?! I genuinely want to believe it! I had fun listening to this album.
