T/C...I almost dropped when I heard Telephone Line on the fm last week.

I would think that the first two or three ELO albums are in the forgotten range for a lot of people.

Though I really grew to hate them, Supertramp "Crime of the Century" is a great album...where I am, you never hear them on the radio.

Their stuff is hard to get on youtube, just like Dylan and a few others but here is School. Crime of the Century really is a good one.

Cheesy to an extent, but one of my guilty pleasures... 1982:

Meh... we all have our own. I like a few Bread songs I like but they aren't exactly forgotten songs.

Would you say that Supertramp (Raining Again) is forgotten??? I am not sure, I lean it is.  Great sax, and usually gr8 piano..

I think music goes by age groups... or for the younger people... who turned them on to what. Sometimes what they were turned on to made them expand their searches but who knows really. I was turned on to the Shocking Blue in a 1964 Falcon... earlier, Same with the Animals House of the rising son.... a Twin Fair parking lot actually.

 

Beginning of psych music?

I am not so sure about psych (not sure what you mean by that... I can read that with various twists) music.  Big Rock Candy Mountain was singing about drifting.  A hobo's dream.  A folk song.  I would put Woody Guthrie up there too.  He had affinity for writing children's songs too:

Well we could throw Puff the Magic Dragon in here but perhaps something more along the lines of this... one hit and gone really, penned by Rupert Holmes of all people:

Speaking of ELO songs, I heard "Don't Walk Away" on the radio about a month ago. First time I heard that song in decades.

It always seemed that Supertramp was trying to be 'all things to all people (listeners)'.  Progressive or pop chart darlings?  I thought only Ocasek from the Cars had as an annoying, whiny voice as Davies.

[Another Fan]

I couldn’t stand it but the Mets and some other baseball teams made it the official song that year

 

 

 

The Macarena as well

[Cripple Creek]

The Band.

Falco.

 

He was "huge" in Europe and had a string of decent hits in the United States (Der Kommissar, Rock Me Amadeus) in the mid 80s but I thought his best was Vienna Calling.

 

The booze and drugs really snuffed out a lot of his potential and ultimately killed him.  (Died in a car crash where he was loaded with booze and cocaine.)

[T&C]

One "hit" that wasn't even included on their one album.

Ever heard Tiny Tim? No I won't post the hit... with a bullet.
