'Crises? What Crisis?' - Supertramp

Po Boy

I think this is the least listened to ‘Tramp album for me. A Soapbox Opera is the track that stood out for me, but really, I haven’t heard this album for over 2 decades. I still have it as a cassette tape which I bought in Bali.

Did Supertramp have a finest hour....?  Oh..of course that was Crime of the Century.

An almost positive answer, my dear Doc.

Slowly but surely getting there...

sans aucun doute: "The Meaning"

The thing I always liked about Supertramp the most was Rick Davies pounding away on a piano.  The man is just such a great pianist and he's a hard player.  Lots of dynamics.  I could hear the man riff on a piano for days and not get tired of it.  One of my first favorite rock bands, I personally have a fondness for ALL of Supertramp's music.  For me, they can do no wrong.

Ive read interview with old bandmate of Rick, Gilbert O'Sullivan whom when he descrbied hes own tutage into music. He was the drummer in a band were Rick played piano and organ, Rick was originaly a drummer and was quite serious practioner on drums yet he found out piano was more natural to him. So he switched. Yet Gilbert expressed it such it was not inly Rick whom tought him drums, but also quote Gilbert O'Sullivan "Tought me everything i needed to know about music" which is a good resume me think.

"A Soapbox Opera"

(My favorite Supertramp album)

Just listened this first time and I really liked it, it´s now my favourite after the first album. But after one listening can´t say which of the songs is the best.
