Blimey indeed.
You can hear why though, unless your are tone deaf, as his middle of the road rock is quite good.
Don't think that is in any way a compliment. If anything, it is probably a bit of a dig.

I am not tone deaf so this statement is factually incorrect :).
I was wondering if maybe it was meant as a dig :).Don't think that is in any way a compliment. If anything, it is probably a bit of a dig.
No skin off my nose as I have mentioned; however, if I see grade inflation due to the Greatest Hits nature of this I may need to lob a score in just to keep things honest. You in fact mention that his records have a lot of filler (my God, those tunes must be like Dante’s Ninth Level) so if this is a particular case of a singles artist forcing his fans to buy a lot of dross just to get the song they like, I may have to change my view on him from “honest musician whose music I cannot abide” to “cynical grifting middlebrow taking advantage of his hapless fans by producing music that appeals to the lowest common denominator and covering it in shit because he knows they’ll pay $9.99 a pop for four minutes on a 40 minute record.”good choice Dennis, sorry Foggy.
It couldn’t be worse, and I’m not kidding.It could be a lot worse.It could be Rush.
Oh come on...it's not that bad. He's a musician. You like musicians. Imagine if it was the greatest hits by Bros. Or Jedwood. Or Pee-wee Herman.It couldn’t be worse, and I’m not kidding.
Amazingly that mention this song by ST as it is one of the worst tracks I have ever heard and one of the reasons I don't listen to the album in full at all these days but I agree the album is otherwise a great listen all things considered albeit Fools Overture is for reasons I still don't know is the only song of theirs I have on my playlist.It’s already Red Red Wine — the song I hate more than any other.
But you could also pick Casual Conversations for single-handedly ruining Breakfast In America, which is tremendous in all other respects.
Then I’d get to listen to something new and decide to hate it so I’d learn something! :)Oh come on...it's not that bad. He's a musician. You like musicians. Imagine if it was the greatest hits by Bros. Or Jedwood. Or Pee-wee Herman.
