Passed me by Rich for some odd reason Rich.

I can't believe you have never heard that enormous 1977 top five Romeo track.
Looking at your Mr Big on the thumbnail there, looking more like 1990's Take That with the five piece shirtless look.

I have never heard Romeo by (UK) Mr Big it's like they they listen to the Arrows then dropped some LSD with Incredible String Band. I will be looking for their records.
The (US) Mr Big with - To Be With You is when I knew that rock was becoming more and more corporate and commercial-like country pop.

The only Mr Big I like are the British one's who had this massive top five hit in 1977. This week in '77 this was top ten having slipped from its No4 peak to No9.
I remember another top five hit from what seemed like another Mr Big in 1992, maybe this lot you mention, To Be With You, which I absolutely hated. Funnily enough this other Mr Big were also top five this very week 15 years later in '92, rising No8 to No3. I never understood why this was such a (mister) big hit. 127M views on You Tube, and someone from Japan saying it was the first Western song they ever heard and will listen to forever. Not for me. Boring as hell middle of the road American soft rock.
Why does everything sound the same and have annoying digital effects, same beats and crap over dubs.
Journey are back in the charts for some odd reason. In the mid 1980s people dropped Journey for bands like Ratt, Poison, Mr Big, Tesla, Danger, Danger and Winger. These bands were dropped for grunge. Then there was not much after grunge apart from nu-metal like Korn and thrash metal like Slipknot and Cradle of Filth.
