Shoot, didn't remember Pilot being posted.  Way back on the first page.  Cut me some slack, meanie! TongueOut

Andy, Burton didn't really have anything too high on the charts apart from Stand Tall.  Of course, with the Guess Who he had a lot of hits.  But hey, maybe you've heard  more of his singles than I.  I just go with the pop chart rankings (I have numerous books on this).

What's that conversate wit ol' Andy?  Y'must be respondin' to no private message...  Drink   Wink  
The only books you need are JOEL WHITBURN's Billboard Top 40 Hits in any edition since 1986... (heh heh) and the Billboard Top 40 Albums is also essential.  
As for music criticism, I have the 1979 Rolling Stone Record Guide which excluded many artists, but no one in the mainstream at that time (I bought my falling apart trade paper new in 1979) now, I also have the 2004 Rolling Stone Album Guide which upgraded artists from critical oblivion (like BLACK SABBATH) to enshrine them, and includes all kinds of low-rent one-off juvenile wind, yet ignores artists like BARBRA STREISAND, and CAPTAIN BEEFHEART (though he made their Top 100 of their Top 500 albums of All Time in 2003 =  Lookingup)

Andy was thinking Burton was not a one-hit wonder as a solo artist.. I say otherwise.  His take was on the previous page.

I have Joel Whitburn's Top 100 hits dated up to 2000.  I also have a book of the top UK Hits up to 2004, a book on "Bubbling Under" songs (that made the top 101 to 130), and a book of semi-biographies on various bands.

Another goodie:

Well, maybe Burton's bigger in Canada.

Anyway, here's a good one.

BURTON CUMMINGS had two Top 40 hits...
Retrorussell, your books sound even more essential than mine (but I have to tell you I'm fascinated with the Top 40) but my tastes definitely lean toward the uncharted; I've spent the last 20 years mining the records Americans didn't buy...  

Always liked this one very much:

When me and my ex-fiancee were staying at my parents, we used to stay up all night playing this album over and over and singing along.

This reminds of the time I was gonna get married (yeah the clown man nearly tied the knot!) but alas, we never made it. I remember the b***hing and the arguments and her not believing that I really wanted to be with her. I got so p**sed, that I just tore the papers up in the end.

I always think of the old WWF days when I hear The Final Countdown.  It would often play when a wrestler approached the ring.

Bryan Danielson used "The Final Countdown" as his entrance music in RING OF HONOR.

And speaking of Burton Cummings, I just saw him last night on TV in a film entitled Melanie (1980) as the hero who comes to the rescue of an abused housewife. Man he looked so cheesy and so very much like a 70s porn star but was also reminscent of many late 70s/early 80s heroes with the dark moustache and hairy chest. UGH!  Buggedout BounceGiggle

Oh jeez, Melanie! I haven't seen that movie in years. I caught it on TV in the very early 90s, and had, until then, been completely unaware that Burton Cummings had tried his hand at acting. Weird. I remember it being not too bad, though, and it had some good songs on the soundtrack. It helps that his character is a piano-playing singer-songwriter. One part that cracked me up was Melanie buying his album during the climactic "getting their s**t together" montage, and the cover is The Best of Burton Cummings with the character's name subbed in. I've had that album for years, so it struck me as funny. Here's the montage, with a great song, "Something Old, Something New."

I did know that he'd done some comedy in the past. He makes an uncredited appearance on the MacLean and MacLean comedy album, Bitter Reality, including a couple of songs he sings as "Frankie Fontaine, the King of Genital Rock." His voice is unmistakable. Try to imagine Burton Cummings singing a song about a guy whose wife lost her hands in an industrial accident:

Keep those rusty hooks away from me
You almost ripped it off yesterday
Baby, baby, keep those rusty hooks away
Or else you'll rip it off today

Couldn't find a clip of it, but here's something else from Bitter Reality. Not exactly in keeping with the theme, but it is an album that takes me back. Definitely NSFW.
