[edit] Error
"...Child Is Father to the Man that featured the Badfinger song, "Without Her" made famous by Harry Nilsson". This is NOT the same Badfinger song that Harry Nilsson popularized. One listen will tell you that... FYI.
[edit] Description of music request
I would like to see some description of BS&T's music, preferably early on in the article. From what I have heard, I would say that their music is highly orchistrated, bold and loud, but without grungy, distorted guitar. But then, I'm terrible at describing music. ike9898 17:58, Sep 21, 2004 (UTC)
[edit] c'mon
I think it's a pretty bad practice to judge music by the number of sales. I think there are lots of words to be said about BST's beautiful arrangements, and unique blend od jazz and rock -- this is the only band of that type. Do you know, for example, that in the 3rd album, in "40000 Headmen" they use a theme from an early Soviet movie, by Prokofiev? [ 12:07, 2 November 2005 84.17.31.5]
- I don't see where the band's music is judged by album sales in the article, aside from the reference to the muted critical response that their third album received at the time of its release (which might have been due to politics more than the music itself). Actually, aside from a blurb written in Billboard about the album, I don't think that I've ever seen one completely positive review of that album (and I've seen some completely negative ones, such as Robert Christgau's review)...though in all fairness, I don't think that I've ever read a bad review from Billboard. -- Kevinloy 18:30, 31 October 2006 (UTC)

- The Child Is Father to the Man article has this information for the first BS&T incarnation. It's not anywhere that I can see for later incarnations, though. Wasted Time R 01:32, 30 April 2006 (UTC)
