Is it common to like music across the soft and hard rock spectrum? Of course I like Carole King and Cat Stevens even if my tastes run to groups with disgusting names like the Butthole Surfers and Dead Kennedys. Rumours, the top selling album of the seventies, confirms the continuing popularity of this accent on melody and acoustic yearning.

A Common Misconception

I could explain the pain 
I could make it plain
reference it repeated-ly in the refrain
insist at each instance til it drove you
In 'tsa common misconception

I'd dissect the neglect in a dismal dissertation
on the days of desertion and desperation
stitched up and stuck in this situation
where the care that was there for discarding
[CHORUS]

You had me at hello come hell or high water
fed lines til I'm on the lam til the slaughter
Don't do things by halves and you give me no quarter  
 [C]
 
Am I calming down am I coming down
rendered upended as you were around
surrender to the tender for our surrounds

[CHORUS]
