Heroes Are Hard To Find

[sharksfan2000]

Heroes Are Hard To Find was the current album when I first started taking notice of the band - this would have been in the fall of '75, during my freshman year in college. My dorm roommate was a fan and he had most of their US-released records up to that point. Songs from HAHTF were on the local FM radio station - I remember "Silver Heels" in particular was getting a fair amount of airplay. Don't clearly recall which other songs were on the radio at the time, maybe "She's Changing Me"? "Prove Your Love"? "Come A Little Bit Closer"? Not really sure.

I think since that was my first exposure to the band, I've always liked this album, even though it doesn't seem to be that highly-regarded these days. Even though nothing on the album is a big highlight for me, I still find most of the songs very pleasant and there aren't any that I find unlistenable - I can't say that about some of their other albums. I can put this one on and listen all the way through it very happily.
