Who likes Middle-of-the-Road Music? (That's a genre that includes Henry Mancini, Nilsson, Herb Alpert, and the Carpenters to name a few.)

I love me THE CARPENTERS. Love Karen's angelic voice. That lady could sing.

Herb Alpert, I love his single RISE. Remember his duet with Janet Jackson called DIAMONDS? I like that one too. I also like his older song, "This Guy's In Love With You."

Nilsson, "Without You"...what a tearjerker song. I also love his song "Me and My Arrow." He also wrote and sang the theme to COURTSHIP OF EDDIE'S FATHER. He died young didn't he?

I know there are more artists that you are talking abt that I enjoy.

I've always been a big Carpenters fan. Does Roberta Flack count in this category? I like her, too. Nilsson is a good one, so is Bread, and I think Barry Manilow would have to be in this category, too.

Then again, too much MOR music at once can be torture. Case in point: earlier this year I was in the doctor's waiting room when I went to get a checkup. They had a CD playing the slowest tunes imaginable by the likes of Bobby Vinton, Captain & Tennille, and Helen Reddy, among others. No one changed the CD so it kept playing over and over again. The place was crowded, so I had a long wait.

It got so bad I was seriously considering yanking the CD player out of the wall if I had to hear "Red Roses for a Blue Lady" one more time. AAAAAAAUGGGHHH!!

I like this type of music too, but I have to be in the mood for it.

Makes me think of Tommy Boy when Farley and Spade are singing The Carpenters in the car LOL

Me too. There was something magical about her voice. And also Karen played a mean set of skins--I think I saw it on YouTube. What a shame she was taken so young.

We all know how fantastic a singer Karen was, but her drumming is underrated. She took lessons from many pros when she was a teen - including Buddy Rich! How awesome is that??

soft rock is good in moderation, but too much of it is overkill.

Gotta love the late night infomercial for the Soft Rock collection hosted by Air Supply

There's also using an Air Supply song in a Denny's commercial. I think the song is "All Out of Love". I've only seen the ad a couple of times, so I'm not sure. There was a phone company ad a few years ago that used "The One That You Love".
