Title: Something to Displease Everyone
Product review: I followed Fogelberg's career from the debut in '72 though this title in '80 before finally giving up on him. Every album has a few great cuts but for someone more drawn to his rock 'n' roll side, the drippy ballads and folkish muzak just got to be too much to bear. On this, his sixth album, Fogelberg's stylistic swings reach the breaking point - he rocks harder on the songs "Face the Fire" and "Phoenix" than he ever has before, but with "Longer" and "Heart Hotels" he lets his sappy romantic side go way overboard as well. Hard to believe a fan of one side of Fogelberg can stomach the other. I recently burned my own "Best of" CD for Fogelberg - 2 or 3 songs from each of the first 6 albums. Now I'll sell the albums and never miss them a bit.
