Not naff. In fact, when you are on an Eric Carmen jag I will almost always stop to listen to 3 repeats, despite the fact that you rarely have enough volume.

I am not a great Neil Diamond fan, but these songs I agree with you, the lyrics are great but the music is wrong somehow. I don't really know the second one, but I often have the words to I Am, I Said running through my mind.

I also concur, @slobberchops is a menace, frequently dragging us into his life. No wonder we don't have time for lives of our own.

Trust me, I'm a doctor.
