Public Service Announcement: Those who use the title track to test they have their speakers wired up correctly should know that 'there's nothing left' comes out the right speaker, and 'there's nothing right' comes out the left speaker. You're welcome. I always find it odd.

You're welcome. I always find it odd. "There's nothing left", meaning there's nothing on the left so there's only sound from the right. Peak creativity from 'The Quo'.

Odd to include Big Gerry Rafferty there.
A tragedy

Right, let's have a look at these: Journey - could never stick' em. Sorry. They pretty much sum up, maybe even define, AOR. Adult oriented? Hmph 😝 Climax Blues Band - Terrific stuff. No way are they AOR. Never have been 😛 Jackson Browne - Nah Al Stewart - Not really Bread - Definitely not Gerry Rafferty - The finest vocalist and songwriter ever. You leave him out of this Bill LaBounty - Very early 80's. Can't say I've heard of him. But Wikipedia says his background is 'soft rock'. I rest my case. That's a contradiction in terms But as one outsize person of some note once said, 2 out of 7 ain't bad. Or something Journey come close. But the kings of AOR were probably these lads.

Quo were never good in making good AOR Rock, Rossi was and is never a good singer for emotional ballads. I disagree, I quite enjoyed his vocal on “A Year”

I disagree, I quite enjoyed his vocal on “A Year” I think he meant stuff like this and Restless. His voice is not suited to it at all. Rick's voice suited it. Very versatile singer. Alan's definitely did not suit it. A Year is a million miles away from stuff like this. A Year is not arena rock and it most certainly isn't 80s rock. The meaning of A Year and the sound of his voice meant it was a perfect match. Alan wouldn't have done it justice and he knew that

I actually love this song but Who Get's The Love? is my favourite on the album.
