Just for fun question

Without cheating, can you identify the eventually-to-be-famous-pop-star pictured on this album cover?

  2. Seriously, though, Attila? I've never heard of the band, and I'm sure I'm going to be surprised to hear who the future pop star is.

  3. That would be Billy Joel on the right...

  4. The guy on the right looks like Billy Joel.

  5. You are both correct. The guy on the right is Billy Joel, although in the album credits he is still using William.

    The guy on the left is named Jonathan Small, and as far as I know, he never became famous.

  6. Yep. Color me surprised. But, what I'm really interested in ----

    What kind of music is it?

  7. "What kind of music is it?"

    Atrocious.

    But seriously, I listened to this once or twice some 25 years ago and I really shouldn't say too much before I've listened to it again. I will say that the instrumentation consists entirely of drums and a modified Hammond organ.

  8. I take it back. Not atrocious at all. My sensibilities must have changed since 1985. I am actually enjoying this very much, although some of the lyrics are so ridiculous I was laughing out loud.

  9. Oh, God. I want to hear it so bad now! I tried finding a sample on Amazon, but no luck. I read the Wikipedia article, and I'm even more intrigued. But I don't know where I can actually hear this band called Attila.

    Is there any way we can hear a sample?
