Hey, what happened to Eclectus? He is one of my favorite posters. Although MiataMan is catching up.

I may not like Barry Manilow, but there is no denying his importance. Captain & Tennile just suck.

Yes, they do...

When someone (it may have been you) was threatening to bring out Bread, etc...I have to admit that Captain and Tennille were the first ones to pop into my head as a "real threat".

Of course the 70's/early 80's also gave us Little River Band, England Dan and John Ford Coley, Seals and Crofts (and who knows the link between England Dan and John Ford Coley/Seals & Crofts), Air Supply, The Lettermen, Orleans, Firefall (who also gave us one of the "coldest" songs ever - Cinderella), Christopher Cross, etc...

I used to like those, but last year they changed to that green chamois. I cannot wear them. I prefer their other shorts (century) because the chamois is different.

Woah, that kid's trucks are from 1990 and his wheels are all 1995 style but the photograph seems like it has to be taken post 2005.

I got the album with that song for a present at my 5th birthday....still have it. I figure if I hold on to it long enough it might be a valuable collector's album.

I agree, I have a few pairs with the gray chamois from 2 years ago, they rock. New one sucks.

"Captain" has the creepiest eyes I've ever seen.



Some friends got a Captain and Tennille LP as a gag gift. Every picture has the same soulless eyes...
