No mention is made of Russell Hitchcock's afro. That should be a subject of scholarly criticism.
Because it is a white man's afro, and hence, any ridicule of it is automatically factual. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 128.158.1.165 ( talk) 18:30, 22 April 2015 (UTC)
somebody needs to get rid of that "greatest band of all time" subsection
Do they record the " Nothing's Gonna Change My Love For You" song?
If the answer is 'Yes', do you know when they release it?
Thanks,

Should we add their "A Nice Pear" label & production work to this page or create an A Nice Pear wiki page (for projects like Graham Russell's " The Heart of the Rose" rock opera with Karla DeVito, Celestine Travelers, Shari Short, Petalbump, etc...) - Antmusic 22:55, 6 March 2007 (UTC)
Russel Hitchcock is the one with the high-pitched operatic voice, right? Correct me if I'm wrong. I think he is.
I just clicked on every single album in the discography, and there wasn't one that linked to an Air Supply album. So I removed the links. In the process, I italicized the titles. - Freekee 03:38, 9 April 2007 (UTC)
I clicked on the members' links and they brought me back to the Air Supply article. It would be much better if they have their own individual wikipedia articles. Leoisiah —Preceding comment was added at 10:49, 13 November 2007 (UTC)
Image:All out of love excerpt.ogg is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in this Wikipedia article constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.
Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.
If there is other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page. Note that any fair use images lacking such an explanation can be deleted one week after being tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.

I've done some arrangements in some of the new articles about their discography, such as correcting the infoboxes (which were wrongly done) and added the singles information, no major change, I-m about to create most of their discography articles, so anyone who could suggest me about this would be of great help. By the way, the individual articles of Russell Hitchcock and Graham Russell are terribly done, the linked pages cite almost textual information, and the tone of the pages is not the encyclopedic style, please correct these.-- Skibish ( talk) 16:37, 26 April 2008 (UTC)
I noticed the following:
Can someone confirm this? And what show/date did Kasem say this in? - Tbsdy lives ( talk) 04:39, 14 September 2008 (UTC)
I definitely remember the Kasem comment about the note Hitchcock held at the end of All Out of Love (I believe the song he said had previously held the record was Donna Summers' Dim All the Lights, see page), although I thought he said the length of Hitchcock's note was about 11 seconds.

According to an AT40 recently rebroadcast (on XM Radio), July 3rd, 1982 (introducing Even the Nights are Better), Air Supply was sued by a former manager for over 1.4 billion dollars. Now, Casey didn't say whether or not this was American or Australian (which in 1982 would have made a significant difference, more so than now), but he did say it was "all over the headlines" as financially, it was a bigger figure than the 480 million combined lawsuits between the Bee Gees and their former management, filed in '78 and settled in '81. I was trying to find out how it got settled, but google is failing me. Acroyear ( talk) 03:26, 9 July 2009 (UTC)
It seems to me this band consistently put out songs that sounded like others. For instance, "Even The Nights are Better" is reminiscent of "Arthur's Theme (Best That You Can Do)". Can someone comment on this? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 65.162.77.10 ( talk) 19:05, 6 September 2011 (UTC) Huh? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 58.160.38.183 ( talk) 02:46, 25 September 2011 (UTC)
They are two completely different songs. They are in the same adult contemporary- soft rock - love song category and were released a few months apart. Being in the same genre and era makes them contemporary to each other, hence the similarity. Any attempts to smear an artist for this reason are uneducated. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 174.220.6.222 ( talk) 00:13, 29 December 2019 (UTC)
According to the other Wikipedia pages, there was a lot of incorrect information regarding Albhy Galuten and the Gibb Brothers in regards to the development of two albums. In cross-referencing "Lost In Love" and "The One That You Love" albums here on Wikipedia, there was no connection to either person. Therefore, references relating to those those persons have been removed from the 1980s section, and have been replaced with more accurate information. 14.55.194.52 ( talk) 21:40, 18 April 2014 (UTC)
Why are Jesus Christ Superstar and Kenny Loggins listed as "associated acts" in the infobox? What is the connection with Air Supply? There is nothing in the article which explains it. Material in the infobox should be properly sourced, and explained in the body of the article, not left the imagination of the reader. It's also unclear how a rock opera like Jesus Christ Superstar is an "act". -- 38.110.71.98 ( talk) 13:31, 8 October 2015 (UTC)
Hello fellow Wikipedians,
I have just added archive links to one external link on
Air Supply. Please take a moment to review
my edit. You may add {{
cbignore}}
after the link to keep me from modifying it, if I keep adding bad data, but formatting bugs should be reported instead. Alternatively, you can add {{
nobots|deny=InternetArchiveBot}}
to keep me off the page altogether, but should be used as a last resort. I made the following changes:
When you have finished reviewing my changes, please set the checked parameter below to true or failed to let others know (documentation at {{
Sourcecheck}}
).
An editor has reviewed this edit and fixed any errors that were found.

I don't mean using the talk section for a forum. But somehow, one of Air Supply's singers might have been female. Can someone please clarify this? Wikipedia doesn't say whether or not one of the singers was female.
