SHUT THE FUCK UP NOBODY CARES ABOUT YOUR KOREAN POP STAR FOR FUCK SAKE KILL YOURSELF

>>74385475
Definitely. Breakfast In America is one of the best albums of the 70s.

>>74385940
The Posies - Frosting on the Beater is fantastic power pop.

>>74386005
Skylarking is one of my favorite albums.

Tom Petty

>>74386119
Wow autism

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 admittedly "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 most schlock that sounds good when played in the background. This is modest background schlock that sounds good when slipped 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 guy, so when this one elicited vague grunts of pleasure, I looked forward to listening in detail. 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+

Everything Rocks and Nothing Ever Dies [1990s]

Go back to your containment general you faggot

>>74386234
why does anyone give a fuck what christgau/scaruffi/etc thinks? This boards' obsession with wanker critics is mind boggling.

>tfw the only Supertramp song you like is Goodbye Stranger

>>74386305
You have to admit, he did say the honest truth about Supertramp.

>>74386305
I don't know what Scaruffi has said about them desu.

>>74386336
Bloody Well Right is the best song they have

>>74385940
>>74386005
these are actually great. thx

Primus

Paul Simon, I rarely see Simon and Garfunkel posted and I've never seen his solo stuff here.

This is great read detailing a bit of supertramps studio process, also >>74386115 THIS

Tom Petty is such a great example of just American Heartland rock, catchy hooks without being the worst sellouts or cock rock-tier (aerosmith)

Early rod Stewart

>>74385475
Supertramp are average. Why do they need more respect?

>>74385940
>john Cale
He's great but you picked the wrong albums. You want the ones with theatre of eternal music and his collaboration with terry riley

>>74386005
They get tons of respect here. They're constantly talked about

>>74386617
Primos are shit

Blue Oyster Cult

>>74387385
I think floyd gets enough credit on here, you get guys trashing them sometimes but I think it's mainly a ruse.

>>74387327

This. BOC are fucking great and, barring an album or two in the mid 80s, their entire discography is gold.

>>74385475
They're just rush without a great drummer or bassist

>>74388082
They'd be better with more cowbell.
