Crime Of The Century. By a few dozen miles.
...a vigorous circular motion hitherto unknown to the people of this area, but destined
to take the place of the mud shark in your mythology...

That was me. I didn’t want to be cynical. It just seemed logical.

The first lp is one of my all time favourite lps; Crime of the century is great lp (and was recorded with a mobile on a farm not far from here!) and most of the other lps have some nice moments. Indelibly Stamped was possibly the most disappointing second lp of all timeWink

You haven't heard the first two?

I've heard the first two, but it's like a different band. They have some decent moments showing lots of promise, but I consider them to be amateur, warm-up albums. The band reached the major leagues with the addition of John Helliwell.

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

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.

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.

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 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.

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.

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