I used to love the album Goodbye Yellow Brick Road by little sausage-fingers Reg Dwight, when I was a kid.
The whole album now makes me cringe and roll my eyes.
As a matter of fact, HE now makes me cringe and roll my eyes.
Dunno about the U.S, but cheese pop has had a bit of a resurgence here, and Elt is seen as the Grandaddy of it all.
There is the Scissor Sisters (American of course, but I THINK they're doing better over here), who've made a couple of very good pop hits, and there's (I think) The Kooks, who do a 'Supertramp' type thing, and most annoyingly a guy called Mica, who sits at the piano (ala Elt) and sounds like a horror hybrid of Freddie, Reg, Joel, ELO aaaarrrrghhhh 'nuff said!
