Wuss rock sucks.

Some guys are offended by the idea of a man falling for romantic love the way a woman might. They think it makes the man look weak.

The day Air Supply turns up their guitars and distortion and starts making real music (if it makes old people nervous, it is real music) will be the day real men every where will start liking them.

This year, 2000, marks their 25th anniversary and after 18 albums, they still find the experience incredible! Thanks to the amazing support of devoted fans around the world, they are still enjoying every aspect of being the "messengers of the love ballad".

I think I'm gonna be ill.

Men don't like the idea of putting on lovey-dovey music and getting all smoochy-woochy. You have 2 options... put on some real rock 'n roll and ask your guy if he wants to fuck, or consider becoming a lesbian.

While I wouldn't consider myself a fan of Air Supply, I don't find their stuff unpleasant to listen to.

Both Air Supply AND REO Speedwagon grate on my nerves, always have. For awhile I could swear they were the same damn band. yuk yuk yuk

All I can say is "I'm all out of love I'm so lost without you"

There, does that answer the question? ;-0

I dislike Air Supply because the lead singer sings in such breathy voice. That's just not my cup of tea. I have no problem with music being romantic, it's just that guy's voice that drives me up the wall. I guess I like music to either be much more sophisticated, or more gritty/real.

I'm not a big Eric Clapton fan, but he's a good example of an artist who can be very romantic without slipping into Richard Simmons mode.

Thanks for all of your comments! I guess to some ears it is "wuss rock" and the lead singer is a little breathy. They said sort of the same thing about Donna Summer on "I Feel Love," except they said that she sounds like she's going to cum, which seems to make "breathy" more okay? He bought me a cd to replace the tape he broke, so I guess I won't break up with him (yet).

1st the tape, then he breaka you face.

Lose the zero and capture a hero.

Love, abby

Igot,

That makes "breathy" more OK, yes, more OK, much more. OK. Plus it's from a female. I would have to say that it's OK. With me. Ahem. (Sits down.)

Sweety Consumer I outweigh him by a good 62 pounds. He broke that tape while he was standing out in the yard. He knows what would have happened if he done that in the same room where I was.

If someone breaks your air supply tape, I'd say they are doing you a huge favor and you owe them at LEAST one drink. {heehee haahaa snicker snicker}

Two GUYS singing a love song duet just doesn't cut it for me.

That, and no cool guitar solos.

And, aren't they ABBA's cousins or something like that?
