message: 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)

If the answer is 'Yes', do you know when they release it?
Thanks,

message: 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)

message: 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)

thread_title: Fair use rationale for Image:All out of love excerpt.ogg

message: 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)
thread_title: Albums' article and Russell Hitchcock & Graham Russell articles

message: I noticed the following:
* Air Supply's 1982 single "Even the Nights Are Better" holds a dubious, albeit unofficial, chart record in the United States. After peaking at #5 on the Billboard Hot 100 in September of 1982, the song fell to #6, and then from #6 all the way to #42, making it the song to take the second-biggest single-week drop out of the Top 40 ("Abracadabra" by The Steve Miller Band fell from #10 to #48 around the same time) during the "classic" era of the American Top 40.  No "recurrent rule" (a practice later adopted to eliminate older hits from the countdown even though they still technically qualified for the Top 40) was in place at that time, making such a big drop in the charts quite a rare occurrence.  Although this is not an official record, AT40 host Casey Kasem announced it as such a few years later when answering a fan's chart trivia question on his show.  Kasem had also announced that Hitchcock held the note for over twenty seconds at the end of "All out of Love" a record at the time for a top 40 song.
Can someone confirm this? And what show/date did Kasem say this in? - Tbsdy lives (talk) 04:39, 14 September 2008 (UTC)

thread_title: Picture

message: 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.

thread_title:  Nothing on the lawsuit? 

message: 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)
thread_title:  Derivative Music 

message: 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)
thread_title:  Inaccurate Information - 1980s 

message: 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)
replies: text: The Jesus Christ Superstar connection is explained in the article - first sentence of the History section.  But you are right, this is not the intention for the "associated acts" per Template:Infobox musical artist#associated acts.  I have removed them.  Hoof Hearted (talk) 19:15, 18 December 2015 (UTC)

message: 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.

replies: text: Chrissie Hammond sang with Hitchcock and Russell while all three were also members of the cast of Jesus Christ Superstar (mid-1975 to late 1976). She left the trio to start a hard rock group, Cheetah (with her sister Lyndsay Hammond) before Air Supply had recorded their first single. This is now in the early History of the band.shaidar cuebiyar (talk) 09:22, 13 September 2022 (UTC)
