I was recently listening to some of their stuff and so thought of this poll. This is for studio albums only.

2. Breakfast in America
3. Even in the Quietest Moments
4. Famous Last Word (although I"t's Raining Again", "Waiting So Long" and "Don't Leave Me Now" are excellent)

You're not going to get much variation here; CotC is significantly their best, although personally, I actually also love Brother... so,

CotC
Brother
Breakfast
Moments (Fool's Overture is a beauty)
Crisis?
Famous...

I like the albums 2-5 a lot and have difficulties ranking them. I'll vote for Quietest Moments because I think I enjoy it most listening from beginning to end without interruption, although there isn't much between them. Regarding Supertramp I'm really rather a "my favourite tracks" listener than an album listener. With very few exceptions I love the tracks Hodgson sings so much more than those Davies sings.

I just noticed that you've included their debut, but then missed Indelibly Stamped, their follow-up... although I agree it wasn't up to much...

Even in the Quietest Moments... I find myself thinking about cheese, pastries, and telephone poles.

Well, I figured no one would vote for it (or very few at least) so I didn't include it. I did include FLW though which also isn't that highly rated. I basically didn't include their lowest rated albums on PA (or RYM). Anyone can still vote for them in the "other" category though.

Crime of the Century, as the only one I'm fond of

4 of their albums are missing in the poll. 
I listened to the last ones just out of curiosity but I don't remember much, a sign that they were not that good. Maybe I'll give them a second chance. Not Free as a Bird though, that one is just bad. 

Indelibly Stamped is not bad at all. It's got a few good songs on it. 

Voted for COTC.

I like Supertramp a lot. I think my order of preference would be Crime of the Century, Even In the Quietest Moments..., Crisis? What Crisis? when it comes to my top three. I would include Paris Live amongst my favourite Supertramp albums. Their others have their moments but are not as coherent, imo.

I guess I could have included IS as it's at least probably better than their last three and I agree that there is some good stuff on it but it also includes a song with a racial slur which would definitely not go over well today. That by itself doesn't make the album horrible but it doesn't help any either.

While I could go with various albums, I'm going with the oft overlooked debut. I like the psych qualities and I have serious infatuation with "Try Again" in particular.

Crime of the Century, but I'm not a huge Supertramp fan.
Breakfast in America is also pretty good
