I'm surprised it is getting so much love here.
I think if you are of a certain age, which most everyone that posts on this board is, all those soft rock/classic rock/disco songs of the 70's were drilled into you, like em or not!
It's the "soft rock" stuff that I hate. I hated it then and I hate it now. So bland and lacking any sort of energy.

Shit like Air Supply is just horrid to my ears, now or then when I was 10.

Just reminds me of like an old mother listening and soaking in a tub trying to get away from her kids and responsibilities. Like if Calgon was music.

A Calgon reference? Why are you in even commenting on this thread?

lol.
Perhaps I wasn't clear. Soft rock music like Air Supply, is music mothers listen to when they are trying to get away from their kids, cooking dinner for their families, and all the other household shit they have to do.

To me it is just horrid horrid music with zero redeeming values. I have hated it since I was kid.

It's absolutely idiotic to contend Zep weren't A-listers in the 1970s.
