I've only listened to Crisis, What Crisis? once (about 3 weeks ago) and found it a fantastic album, so I'd would probably want to include a track or two from it, but need to listen a couple more times... that said, here's what I have.

1 Rudy
2 Crime Of The Century
3 School
4 Fool's Overture
5 The Logical Song
6 Asylum
7 Even In The Quietest Moments
8 Child of Vision
9 Breakfast In America
10 From Now On

and Bloody Well Right and Take the Long Way Home are just under the radar.

I would heartily recommend you both take a fresh listen to Crisis what Crisis.. that album has grown on me like a lesion man..  and has some musical moments.. especially the first side that just raises the hair on the my Popeye like forearms... some amazing f**king music on that album

and that from one who has always considered Breakfast as their masterpiece.. oh it was.. but Crisis was the next best thing they did.

"Prog-lite" is a fair characterization. And many (myself included) are no big fan of much of their sentimental-ish pop material (like "Give A Little Bit" or "Hide in Your Shell") 
 
And yet... Some of their proggier stuff (including most of "Crime of the Century") is just masterful! They get into musical/emotional subtleties that no other band (that I know of) does. 
 
 But, in the end, its still a matter of personal taste.

Got an original vinyl of Crisis...I'll knock the dust off and spin it before bedtime. My actual 'favorite' by them is Even In The Quietest Moments...Fools Overture is their best track.. period...imo qualifies as prog(even has some Floydian overtones). Wink
Btw..there is an interesting track called 'Try Again' on the very first one (the 1st lp  has early Genesis moods)...when they had Palmer (same Palmer who wrote lyrics for KC and has worked with Wetton) and Millar. Many years ago that's the one I played the most since it came out in '70.
I have always thought Crime was overrated.....

Oddly enough Crisis never really resonnated with me (or maybe not as much as it should have)... Too many twee or over-precious moments. In any case, I don't view it as a must-have (and I don't, though a lot of it is in my CDr compilation), like their debut, Crime, Moments & Brother.

As for BIA, it didn't resonnate much either, partly  because overly succesffull,  but it closes in a grandiose fashion.

^Crisis was my gateway album to the Tramp and always my "private crush"--and I was sorely disappointed when they played absolutely zero songs from it on their Breakfast in America tour. 

And "Try Again" almost made my list. I like those first two albums a lot! But, I have to admit, Crime is just a pure masterpiece--seemless start to finish--and what a start, what a finish!

I don't know about a Supertramp Top 10, but I know that "Bl**dy Well Right" is one of the most irritating songs I've ever heard, from anyone. Stern Smile
 
I like the Supertramp song that begins, "Take a look at my girlfriend, she's the only one I've got" or something like that, which I believe is on the Breakfast in America album. I couldn't possibly come up with a Top 10 list though, not unless I choose all of the songs from Breakfast in America, which happens to be the only Supertramp album I've listened to, apart from their Greatest Hits album. I will listen to all of Supertramp's albums eventually though. Wink
