So - a household discussion led me to pull out and listen to 10cc's 'The Original Soundtrack', which led to oblique comparisons to Queen and City Boy, which made me think - "Hey - y'know what else kind of goes into that category..." and so I've been listening to 'Royal Bed Bouncer' this evening. What a bizarre mix of pop and sorta prog and sorta theatre and - well- who knows what else?
So - for anyone who knows this album, do you dig it along with the later stuff (Starlight Dancer, Periscope Life) or earlier stuff (See See the Sun), and how did you arrive here? It's a pretty unique album in its way. I mean, if you love it, how did you get there, and also, where do you go next? (ie, "Oh - you love 'Royal Bed Bouncer'? Then you should check out - [WHAT?]")
So far, current most agreed-upon comparisons include 10cc, City Boy and Supertramp, but - what do you think?
