“Lost in Love,” “All Out of Love,” “Every Woman in the World.” That’s not a tracklist—that’s a career-defining trio on a single LP. The production is clean, the melodies are heartbreakingly simple, and Russell Hitchcock’s voice had never sounded more urgent.
No other album captures their impact like this one. But for the true fan? A hits album is a starting point, not a destination. Final Verdict: The Best Air Supply Album Is… Drumroll… Lost in Love (1980).
But here’s the question that still divides fans at karaoke bars and classic rock forums:
It’s their most mature album. The songwriting is sharper, and the ballads don’t feel formulaic. If you’ve only heard the greatest hits, Now and Forever will surprise you. The Fan Favorite: Greatest Hits (1983) Okay, this is cheating. But ask any casual fan what their favorite Air Supply “album” is, and they’ll probably name the Greatest Hits collection. And can you blame them?
So pour a glass of wine, dim the lights, and put on Lost in Love . Or The One That You Love . Or really any of them. Just don’t skip “Here I Am.” That song will break your heart in the best way.
It’s more consistent than Lost in Love . Where the previous album had a few filler deep cuts, this one flows like a concept album about longing. Plus, the production (courtesy of Harry Maslin) feels warmer and richer. The Dark Horse: Now and Forever (1982) This one doesn’t get enough love. By 1982, the musical landscape was changing—new wave, synth-pop, and MTV were taking over. Air Supply did what they always did: ignored trends and wrote gorgeous ballads.
