Lost in Love
Artist: Air Supply
Community Score: 7.28

With the release of Lost in Love, Air Supply led the early part of the '80s with a successful run of soft pop love songs of the sweetest variety. Graham Russell's overly poetic, overly romantic lyrics were usually accompanied by the fragile plucking of an acoustic guitar or the soft tinkling of piano, and throughout every album their insipid...

What a Feelin'
Artist: Irene Cara
Community Score: 8.25

As a general rule, you would expect that an album featuring a gold-selling number one hit, a Top Ten hit, and two Top 40 follow-ups would itself be a considerable success, but Irene Cara's second album had trouble staying among the 100 best-sellers. Why? That chart-topper, "Flashdance...What a Feeling," had come the previous spring, and most... Read More

Hits!
Artist: Boz Scaggs
Community Score: 4.00

Released in 1980, Hits! capitalized on the end of the decade as well as the Scaggs' commercial success from 1976-1980. That's not to say everything is here. The 1972 classic "Loan Me a Dime" is missing, as this concentrates on Scaggs' more radio friendly efforts. From the pre-Silk Degrees era, "Dinah Flo" and "You Make It So Hard to Say No" are...

Greatest Hits, Vol. 2
Artist: Linda Ronstadt

Picking up where the first volume left off, Greatest Hits, Vol. 2 contains Linda Ronstadt's biggest hits from the late '70s, including such songs as "It's So Easy," "Hurt So Bad," "Blue Bayou," "Back in the U.S.A.," "Poor Poor Pitiful Me," "Ooh Baby Baby," "How Do I Make You," and "Tumbling Dice." Since Ronstadt's late-'70s albums tended to be a... Read More

Christopher Cross
Artist: Christopher Cross
Community Score: 8.62

Christopher Cross' debut was a huge hit and widely acclaimed, at least among industry professionals (critics didn't give it a second listen), leading to multi-platinum success and Grammys. In retrospect, it might seem like the kind of success that's disproportional to the record itself, especially to hipper-than-thou younger generations, but in... Read More

Mistaken Identity
Artist: Kim Carnes

Mistaken Identity should have established Kim Carnes as a huge international star. Her Rod Stewart rasp, affiliation with Kenny Rogers, management by Ken Kragen when he was arguably at his peak, makes one wonder why the across-the-board success of "Bette Davis Eyes" couldn't be duplicated. Three years after the success of this album, Tina Turner... Read More

The One That You Love
Artist: Air Supply
Community Score: 9.17

The One That You Love was Air Supply's second international release and perhaps their finest all-around studio outing, spawning three top ten hits, including a number one with the heart-wrenching title track. The sheer drama of "Here I Am" and the swooping orchestration of "Sweet Dreams" complete this smash-hit trilogy, and as suggested by their... Read More

One of the Glory Boys
Artist: Peter Noone
Community Score: 10.00

Peter Noone's One of the Glory Boys has become a highly collectable vinyl recording fetching honorable numbers on e-Bay. If ever there was a great lost album by an artist that has sold in the tens of millions, this is the one. It is brilliant, and what's amazing is that none of this material shows up in Noone's live show. The album boasts great... Read More
