The first thought was, "Two Of Us", which I like, but it's not an album closer like "Child of Vision"

I agree. That's why I loved Supertramp from the beginning compared to other bands more popular. The only other one during that time were 10cc comparable.

Except Crisis? What Crisis? where they put the most epic song (The Meaning) second to the last and kind of a snoozer at the end. The 2 of us is a good song, but it's not very exciting. The other albums end in a way that makes you want to start them over again.

Not too long ago I picked up Breakfast in America(the only one I have by them at the moment not counting a vinyl copy of COTC stashed away somewhere) and it's one of the things I noticed. It makes them seem more proggy.

Interesting fact. Many bands have their trends I believe. After all, most every band/artist have their song they se to close concerts and their set for their come back. Why not then have a way to close their albums?

Sure, why not? A great way to end an album which creates a sense of closure and completeness.

It seems like they always want to end their albums with a very long instrumental passage with minimal vocals.
Debut - Surely reprise has one. Indelibly Stamped - Aries having a long keyboard/flute jam after the vocals. Roger does sing a bit more at the end. Crime of the Century- title track had one. Even in the Quietest Moments - Fool's Overture has a minute of instrumental towards the end. Breakfast in America - Child of Vision has a long piano solo.
