I like "Lonely Boy" in Boogie Nights (which I've now mentioned three or four times on these threads, I think; Boogie Nights is like one gargantuan tribute to the junky second half of the decade, the Ronco era, and it salvages some of these songs in ways they probably don't deserve). "The Things We Do for Love" is the only other song here I don't actively dislike (with a couple I don't know).

Same here for me. Between Lonely Boy and the 10cc. I guess it's Gouldman and Stewart for the win. As it's the one of the two i like with no stipulations/reservations. Andrew Gold RIP.

there are a few versions of this, but none are a patch on orleans's peppy but convincing rendition imho

Seem to recall that Orleans were big enough that they would play undercover shows in Upstate New York under the name Snearlo.

gjoon1 OTM. The only thing to add is that "Lonely Boy" is all-time "Oh, there's the one" misdirection.

I didnt immed place that climax blues band song, and when i refreshed i kept thinking it sounds like a transitional bee gees song. Good. so i refreshed on 10cc, and...i’d stick with 10cc.
