ONE EIGHTY

With good reasoning, Ambrosia, like many of the commercial Art-rock bands from the 70's era US progressive rock scene, often tend to foresake their Art-rock leanings with every release they would do. This was no different for Ambrosia. Their first and second album, was pretty much awashed with beautiful harmonies, cleverly touched with progressive tendancies, but on the band's third album and pressure to build a more commercial following, "One Eighty" had more than its share of hits. These hits would would become longtime FM standards, usually unheard of from a progressive rock band, and usually frowned upon by true progressive rock followers. Charles
