I'd Rather Not Jack

My weekend listening turned into a visit to 70s SOFT ROCK HEAVEN i.e.

FLEETWOOD MAC - Rumours
BREAD - The Story of BREAD.
The first Steely DAN album.
David Bowie - HUNKY DORY (this is not strictly 'soft rock' but followed on nicely from F Mac and is probably the most I've enjoyed listening to a Bowie album in 10 years!) (except perennial stinker Queen B1tch obv.)

What else should I be listening to in this vein? I am aware we are squarely in ROWLEY territory here!

NB any excursions into this stuff on Thursday night (that's POPTIMISM CLUB NITE people!) will be confined to the first set. Mostly.

Bit out of your timeframe maybe here, but surely the work of CHICAGO and FOREIGNER should not go neglected.

Also presumably Sir Elton of John has plenty of mid-70s stuff that falls into this category. Do ELO count?
