“No Elvis, Beatles, or The Rolling Stones. In 1977.” Sadly we did have Billy Joel and his MOR balladeering. Stuff like this just doesn’t sound like music to me. More like people practicing their instruments. And the lyrics are no better. No highs, no lows, just the same tone for 30-40 minutes then the end. Mercifully.

Some great songs, yet spectacularly unfashionable. I liked the storytelling narrative that runs throughout. It reminded me of Meat Loaf without all the ridiculous posturing. Quite uplifting and cheery - not my usual thing. A very odd album cover art.
