WOS to Journey, lovin', touchin', cheezin'.

I actually find this somewhat bearable -- I think they got much worse after this.

WOS4 or 5 to VH and the insipid lyrics of "Beautiful Girls."

BOS to this.  APP?  Sorry, but the Cheap Trick and VH were both really pointless to my ears, and I don't even remember what song no. 2 was.

It was Floyd, and woulda got another "meh" from me had I posted.  VHM JJ, tho' (like Blondie) I'd prefer a non-hit from this LP.

Most unlikely source for a Top 10 sample this year: Supertramp, "Breakfast in America."
