Dreamer and Bloody Well Right are bound to struggle, but I included them anyway. Another album I've been obsessing about. I pick Rudy for its powerful emotional breakdown part! ------------- 20+ prog bands discovered and explored in 3 years, still going strong... |

Why would they struggle - what's the criteria for voting? |

It's just an assumption. I personally don't like those two as much as all the other songs so I just blurted that out (via a computer keyboard  )------------- 20+ prog bands discovered and explored in 3 years, still going strong... |

What he said... ------------- He neither drank, smoked, nor rode a bicycle. Living frugally, saving his money, he died early, surrounded by greedy relatives. It was a great lesson to me -- John Barrymore |

So we are voting for our favourite then (it doesn't say, it just says "choose one")? Well I don't know the whole album but I like Dreamer. |

The title track, but every track is enjoyable though none really makes me feel "wow". ------------- A TVR is not a car. It's a way of life. |

| "Rudy", followed by the title track. The rest just doesn't work for me. |

| Going for Rudy which is amazing, but I could also go for Hide in Your Shell any time |

In high school, I pretty much remember Bloody Well Right putting Supertramp on the map, and it remains their most definitive song (although it sort of comes off as a drinking song). ------------- "It just has none of the qualities of your work that I find interesting. Abandon [?] it." - Eno |

Rudy is arguably my favorite Supertramp song ever. After that, School, Asylum, and that peppy little ditty, Dreamer. ------------- The world of sound is certainly capable of infinite variety and, were our sense developed, of infinite extensions. -- George Santayana, "The Sense of Beauty" |

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 does nothing yet nothing is left undone. Haquin |

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! http://wmom.servemp3.com:8000/listen.pls |

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  ------------- 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. ------------- |

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. ------------- There is no dark side in the moon, really... Matter of fact, it's all dark... |

It's between the title track, School and Dreamer. I went for the latter because it often receives so much undeserved flack. I love it to bits. ------------- “The Guide says there is an art to flying or rather a knack. The knack lies in learning how to throw yourself at the ground and miss.” - Douglas Adams |

I do love catchy songs. Even more when they kinda represent the album's spirit. Dreamer it is. ------------- - From each according to his ability, to each according to his need. |
