I did enjoy it very much!
To the powers of the universe that be, I would love nothing more than to mix "I'm Not in Love" in 5.1 surround, and I promise that I would create the best 5.1 surround mix possible for that song befitting its groundbreaking production. :)

I'm Not In Love is the only hit song I can think of with a bass guitar solo instead of a guitar solo.

There's also The Who's "My Generation". Even though it does have a little bit of soloing in there on the guitar from Pete, I think the bass soloing is what everyone remembers about it.
 
Grabbed this one on Ebay

So, I admit, I am way behind on listening and voting on lots of music. I've gone through a long, long time during a remodel and my stereo pretty much sat in a corner unhooked. Well, finally got the remodel done, but after all that, I wasn't really in the mood to set it back up and calibrate, etc. As a result, when I did fire it up - I was underwhelmed with the sound.....

Finally got things in position and have a huge, thick ornamental area rug over a portion of listening area. Then, I did a very thorough job calibrating the sound.....

Whoa....what a major difference. Gentle Giant Octopus sounds about 75% better than when I first listened to it....good thing I didn't prematurely vote. So, over the next few weeks, I hope to spin all the new stuff that's been sitting on a shelf and get the votes going.

Octopus went from a 6 to a 9....so I need to get out and vote. :)

I don't think enough people consider the impact of room acoustics on the sound of music....it a HUGE variable that can either make or break sound quality... different surfaces require different adjustments...

We're in largely the same boat. My listening room was under construction for several months recently. I think I have around 40 or so albums to catch up on! Good problem to have... :)

And, I still don't have window treatments....when I do get them, I'll calibrate again...
