Rudy is arguably my favorite Supertramp song ever.  After that, School, Asylum, and that peppy little ditty, Dreamer.

Hmm...I suppose School though I always thought of these guys as 'prog lite'. And for me Quietest Moments is a better album and Breakfast has their best 'pop prog' songs.

One of my fave albums. Very hard to choose a favourite track, but I love the drama of Asylum.
A GREAT YEAR FOR PROG!!!

Supertramp was my introduction into prog waaaay back when.  And I've always been more of a Davies fan then a hodgeson fan.

I voted for Rudy because i feel like i'm on a train to nowhere, halfway down the line.
listen to streaming stuff! no commercials!

One of my earliest prog(-lite?) introductions.  At various times in 30 years, many of the songs have been favorites at some point - School, Bloody Well Right, Hide in Your Shell, Rudy, Crime of the Century.  

Today, it's Crime of the Century and Hide in Your Shell a close second.  They feel the most layered and atmospheric to me.  
More heavy prog, please!

Wow! School, Rudy and Hide in Your Shell are going strong with 11+ votes each! Will the title track make a sudden attack and take the lead? It does deserve to be up there, I think we can all agree Thumbs Up
20+ prog bands discovered and explored in 3 years, still going strong...

Supertramp is one of the most overrated bands on here IMO.  Nonetheless, School is a fine track, and the title cut is even better, and so atypical for the group, one of the only Supertramp tracks I ever feel the need to hear, if not very often

...and many full-on prog bands can't even compete with the Tramp in my book.

By all means list a few of those 'full on prog bands' that can't compete.
Might make for an interesting discussion.

School.
I remember it like yesterday first time I heard this song.
And the whole album is a masterpiece.
Strange thing is that I really don't care about other Supertramp albums ...

Title Track is the greatest thing Supertramp had done until Child Of Vision came out.
