@fmf saidI believe he had a solo album in the mid to late 70's with a name similar to what Rookie posted.
He was one of The Eagles which was an American rock group. Whether I liked them a lot or not, I don't want to say. By "American" I mean "from the U.S.A."
Oooops! Scratch that. It was REO Speedwagon in 1978.
Those were days easily forgotten: But thoroughly enjoyed. 😀

I haven't thought about REO Speedwagon for ages and ages.
I mean ages and ages and ages.

@the-gravedigger saidFrom "Chronic Town" forward, I have remained an ardent fan.
Check out REM as well.
In the 1980's, they were a musical refuge for the creative and liberally-minded. During that time of increasing nationalistic conservatism on campus. REM stood musically strong. They were a beacon of relevance and meaning.

@wolfe63 saidOK, be that as it may in your personal experience, but I heralded it to a party of German geography students in a Youth Hostel in Chamonix Mont Blanc in 1990 and I heralded it again in Nantes train station to a busker who was about to launch into Country Roads, Take Me Home in 1992. So, strictly speaking, it isn't "unheralded", as you claim.
