The Official Barry Manilow Appreciation Thread!

[KingLouieLouie]

I am appalled that noone on here included this brilliant musical genius among their favorite singer/band ever! He inspired a generation with his mezmerizing sound....I heard many death-metal and hardcore rap bands all secretely idolized his sound style.......

I mean, he once claimed that if you play any of his albums against any other one, that you'd prefer his...... So, I choose Revolver,
Pet Sounds, Sgt. Pepper, any album of Alice-in-Chains or
Red Hot Chili Peppers, and Barry Manilow actually made me see the light! Now, I can't stop listening to the likes of Marvin Hamlisch, John Tesh, Yanni, Kenny G, and David Sanborn... I have expanded my musical horizons soo much, that I regret wasting all my time on the bands I've loved my entire life......That's the sheer impact that Barry Manilow has on me and I had to share it with anyone.... I mean, even one registered member of this Message Board was named after one of his songs, which was "Mandy"....
So, let's all pay homage to the brilliance of Barry Manilow!

this message was brought to you by the official president of the Lawrence Welk fan club!]

I must be honest to say that this wasnt the first time I posted this... In fact... I wrote it on the Detroit's equivalent of this message board (the one I posted at until I finally discovered ASFN) and it was "PWI" post after I had gone to the Rhythm Room one night....

Here's that thread in all its glory.. what is so hilarious is that the ones who responded to this thread actually seemed to take it seriously:

I'm not rushing out to buy a Barry Manilow album or anyhting, but I'm not appauled by his music, either. He's got some okay songs for what they are.

yeah, but what the hell are they? Safe wallpaper music I guess.

 

[AZ Shocker]

I've always thought Ricky Martin was the next coming of Barry Manilow?

 

[nothin' but net]

How can you mock the man that can "write the songs that make the whole world sing."

Than man that can sit down and "write the songs of love and special things."

What are "special things"?

Only the true BM fans know. Yes, I realize the unfortunate nature of having your initials be the same as bowel movement.

Don't say that his tunes are out of date either... because "music and passion are always in fashion."

Long Live Barry!

Whenever someone makes fun of his music, he dies a little. How would you like to be the person responsible for the untimely demise of a living legend??

Okay, it's time I fess up. This thread really hurts my feelings because....I am Barry Manilow.

That's right. I'm a Cardinals fan. Most people think my love songs were written for a woman (or man), but in reality they were written for the Cardinals.

So stop making fun of me, okay?

Then I really owe you an apology.

I'm sorry for what I did to Looks Like We Made It. I butchered it pretty badly, a couple of Wednesdays ago, at Karaoke.

I really, really, really like Barry Manilow. He also wrote for Bette Midler (another one of my all time faves). He's a great person....just too much "work" done to the face lately...
