TAKE A LOOK AT MY GIRLFRIEND

Crime of the century is a fucking amazing album. Even in the quietest moments is also very good because of the title track and B side. Dont think ive ever seen /mu/ hate on Supertramp before. Good taste senpai

You're forgetting Fool's Overture in your top tracks off Even in the Quietest Moments!

I just realized Fool's Overture is on the B side my bad.

They're pretty fucking cool.

I'd like to think everyone just accepts that Supertramp is good and that's why they don't get discussed - it's just "Are they good?" and "Yep."

Could never forget about fools overture my man, sorry for not making it clear enough in my original post. Youre absolutely right it is the best track.

I listened to Breakfast in America for the first time yesterday, pretty fun album. Haven't heard that one yet.

Breakfast in America is great, but Crime of the Century is better. If you enjoyed Breakfast in America you should definitely listen to Crime of the Century.

I got to meet Roger a few years ago, great guy, I still can't believe how good is voice is over forty years later

Crime of the Century [A&M, 1974]

The claim that this is the rock and roll of the future depresses me in spite of the amalgamation being a (moderately) smart one, and "Bloody Well Right" does display a gift for the killer hook. Now if only the song weren't an impassioned plea for complacency. Maybe if we close our eyes and ignore them, they'll go away. B-

Even in the Quietest Moments . . . [A&M, 1977]

Most "progressive" rock is pretentious background schlock that's all too hard to ignore. This is modest background schlock that sounds good when it slips into the ear. I guess we should thank "Babaji," whichever one he is. C+

Breakfast In America [A&M, 1979]

I enjoy a hooky album as much as the next person, so when this elicited vague grunts of pleasure, I looked forward to listening in depth. But the lyrics turned out to be glib variations on the usual "Star Romances" trash, and in the absence of a vocal personality (as opposed to accurate singing) or rhythmic thrust (as opposed to a beat), I'll wait for this material to be covered by artists of substance, say Tavaris or the Doobie Brothers. C+

It's not like they ever did anything vocally demanding anyway. I mean, these guys aren't Bruce Dickinson.
