The Starland Vocal Band Does NOT SUCK!

[matcom]

oh wait. yes, yes they do indeed :D

[terrya]

1. It's the principle of taking a one hit song very far.

They had a summer television series, for Christ's sake. :-)

[meegbear]

5. With david Letterman as one of their comedy writers ...

must have been getting his chops then.

[LynneSin]

2. oooh baby don't you wanna lil Afternoon Delight?

:shrug:

[Malikshah]

3. Well, by-sky-rockets-in-flight,

They sure do :)

[Wickerman]

4. that reminds me - its time for lunch!

'thinking of him working up an appetite...

[XNASA]

6. I thought that was the whole point.

Maybe I'm missing something.

[CO Liberal]

7. They Are The Suckiness Against Which Others Who Suck Are Measured

They are the Gold Standard of things that suck.

[Jo March]

8. They both suck and blow at the same time

Yes. Yes they do.

[MallRat]

9. Name THREE songs by Starland Vocal Band...

...without searching on the internet. I dare you.

10. Oh god now I have that song running through my head

Aaaaaaffffffternnnoooon Delight!

[pbg]

11. I had three Starland Vocal Band albums...

...as well as Welcome to Fat City, which is who they were before they were SVB.

But then, I was addicted to dollar vinyl.

Oh, and Mallrat:

Afternoon Delight

I guess he'd rather be in Colorado

and...yes...

Take Me Home, Country Roads

So yes...they do suck...

But I really loved the idea that everybody just loved that cute, well harmonized song about--sex in the afternoon. (I feel the same way about Henry Gross's 'Shannon'...that soaring, sensitive ballad about--Brian Wilson's dead dog--)

12. Geez

You had me worried there for a second.

[wolfgirl]

13. NO they did not suck.. Ignore Afternoon Delight..

I had the chance to see them in concert (warm up to a John Denver concert)...their acapella harmonies were huge. "Boulder to Birmingham" is one of my favorite songs.

so...I respectfully disagree...they were terrific!
