YMMV / Avalon (Roxy Music)

• Germans Love David Hasselhoff: Their most popular album in the U.S., being certified platinum (sales of over one million copies) and their only sales certification in that country, despite having established a cult following stateside just before their first hiatus in the mid-70s. The album's lush, jazzy sound meshed well with the popularity of Soft Rock in the region and made it a favorite among the audiophile community, which had a major foothold in America thanks to it being the birthplace of jazz and the site of some of the most famous concert halls in the world.
