Barry Manilow is great. Kenny Rogers rules. And ABBA is awesome. Case closed.

"Barry Barfalow"

Need I go on? The Family Guy episode was a nice touch!

I would call Barry Manilow a guilty pleasure, but then I would actually need to feel guilty, which I don't. I didn't grow up (70's) on heavy music, so there was that balance between the likes of the Doobie Brothers/Chicago/Steely Dan & the likes of James Taylor/Olivia Newton John/Barry Manilow.

I've always enjoyed the piano, hence I always enjoyed the likes of Barry, along with Elton and Billy Joel. My parents bought "This One's For You" when it first came out, so I more or less grew up with him.

I appreciate Mr Manilow NOT being in my music collection! [Grimmo shudders in horror ... then runs off and commences listening to a Gorguts album] Razz

His song "Mandy" was originaly "Randy" but the record company made him change it.

One of the best covers I've ever heard is Me First and the Gimme Gimme's version of Mandy.
