Discography: Barry Manilow

Manilow's albums are not just singles with filler--some might think that and they would be wrong.  There are a lot of solid songs on his albums, as his chart record would attest.  His eight album releases from 1974-1982 made the Top 10 either in the United States or the U.K.  And his best one, 1984's 2:00 AM Paradise Cafe, did not.  If you are a Manilow fan and you don't have 2:00 AM Paradise Cafe, I regret to say that the boat has left and you missed it.  Here is his complete Discography:
