We've covered the good stuff many times. Don't think we've done the other side.
So Not Over
In case you don't know this one, the phrase, "Don't say it's over, it's so not over," is repeated OVER and OVER in such a repulsive way that I'd rather cut off my arm with a rusted bow saw than ever have to listen to it again.

Hey Rich, just in case you forgot the best of those lovely lyrics:
Someone left the cake out in the rain
I don't think that I can take it
'Cause it took so long to bake it
And I'll never have that recipe again
Oh, no!

How could someone not like a tune by Jimmy Gilmer and the Fireballs? Any song with 'Jim' and 'shack' in it gotta be good.
A one, a two, a one two three four...
"There's a crazy little shack beyond the tracks
And ev'rybody calls it the sugar shack
Well, it's just a coffeehouse and it's made out of wood
Expresso coffee tastes mighty good
That's not the reason why I've got to get back
To that sugar shack, whoa baby!"

Midnight at the Oasis is a great song. I don't think Barry sang Feelings. Borderline, Spanish Lullaby, and Take a Bow are great songs by Madonna. Long Time Gone and Travelling Soldier are good songs by the Chicks.
Come Together by the Beatles is a bad song.

The absolute worst song of all time is Uneasy Rider II by Charlie Daniels. In this sicko reprise of his funny Uneasy Rider, two homophobic criminals go into a gay bar, and are so offended by the presence of gay men there (  ) that they procede to kick in the heads of everyone in the bar, just for the "fun" of it. The excellence of the original Uneasy Rider only serves to highlight how truly awful the remake is.

Barry, in my opinion, is one of the few performers that bridges 70's pop with the old big band/musical-showbiz sound. In a way he's more from the big band era than the pop era. Songs like It's a Miracle, Bandstand Boogie, Can't Smile W/O You, and I Don't Want to Walk W/O You are good demos of this. I've always thought I Write the Songs was a dumb song. The one's I put a full asterisk by are solid songwriting, as good as any other pop song, and will stand the test of time.
Note the similarity between Can't Smile without You and the Rogers and Hart song There's a Small Hotel (peformed by Sinatra). These songs are structurally similar, and could be mistaken to be from the same decade.

I befreinded a Japanese man on a WTA who was going to the UW for his degree in Forestry. He and I and another freind hung out together all summer, 1998, hiking and car camping and doing trail work.
He spoke very little English, and we had great conversations about sunny side up eggs and CDs, at least that's what I think he said....
Anyway, Maria and I decided to make Kenji a hip American dude, so one night we took him to Cafe Paradiso on First Hill, got him hyped up on java and taught him how to speak these words in very clear English:
"Barry Manilow sucks."

Radio reception in Western Washington is notoriously bad. The signal reflections in the hills can produce artifacts in the sound. I would withhold judgement on Barry Manilow until you have listened to him in Kanasas or Texas on Bose speakers.
