What is wrong with lilting melodies? The Infinite Monkey Theorem postulates a monkey banging away on a typewriter for an infinite amount of time would produce a worthy manuscript. I argue that a noise rock band given enough time would create a hell of a pop song.
Was actually being literal.
The next album I am listening to of my Dad’s is Summer Breeze.
Wasn’t planning a C/NC though.

I just thought ugh there is no weight in this at all and sounds like TV music.
I enjoy some TV music which explains, like, a lot. The original orchestral Love, Sydney with Tony Randall, Swoosie Kurtz, and Kaleena Kiff at the mic is lovely, and don't get me started with the loungey-jazz-pop of Too Close for Comfort.

I remember reading that Seals & Crofts were pissed about Type O Negative's cover of "Summer Breeze." Lamers, those two.

Man...
It is one thing to have to hear the fun haters chuck their two sense in.
Someone doing long division attempting to figure out if The Carpenters are worthwhile?
Man, whatever...

If you listen to this and are even remotely on the fence about it's merits?
You are getting life wrong.
Seriously.

LOL to using the fuckin' Carpenters to make a You Guys Hate Fun point..
They're about as fun as spoon fed applesauce in a hospice.
