Is it just me, or do fake band names scream out "I'm FAKE!"    Those are some of the worst band names ever.

Except for "Here Comes Treble".  :)


Oh, and they missed "The Way Outs" from the Flintstones ("Way out, way out! That's where the fun is!  Way out!")

Nuh-uh.   Then album - "An Innocent Man" - is a concept album and it's brilliant.  The song "An Innocent Man" is one of the best of his catalogue, as is "Uptown Girl" (about as close to Frankie Valli and the Four Seasons as you can get without having a Jersey Boy in your band).
