I haven't even heard any Kate Bush, though Supertramp do deserve a place, if even only in Prog Related.  They do use a lot of keyboards.

Despite the terrible Dreamer, the album Crime of the Century was a prog release, I haven't heard a single 100% Prog album by Kate Bush.

She has a pretty voice and some good songs, but shouldn't be in Prog Archives.

If it was only for the songs Crime of the Century and School I would still vote for Supertramp.

Quote What do you think of Child of Vision, from Breakfast in America?

I said if it was only for Crime of the Century and School, never said only for those songs, I believe it means (Unless my English is worst than I think it is) that those two songs are so good that even if Supertramp hadn't released any other Progressive song, those two would be enough to include them.

Of course there are other great songs, Even in the Quietest Moments is a very good album, Crisis What's Crisis? also.

But honestly I have Breakfast in America and thinking in giving that CD a good use (probably a coaster). I already burned Child of Vision (Great track) in a personal Supertramp anthology, because the rest of the album isn't IMO worth the plastic in which it was recorded.

I think Supertramp comes closest to prog as we know it, meaning that they made several extended pieces, longtracks. Kate Bush sticks more to the song format than Supertramp, but Kate's melodies, arrangements and themes are very innovating, much more than Supertramp's.

So in a way it's 1 - 1.

Weird comparison, who comes up with these?

Anyway never really liked Kate Bush's stuff so its got to be Supertramp. Crisis what crisis was a terrific album.

There is no comparison being made at all.  The poll is to see whether fans think Supertramp or Kate Bush are more prog because a statement was made that Kate Bush deserves to be on the site more than Supertramp because Supertramp isn't prog and Kate Bush is.  The poll doesn't ask whether you like Kate Bush or Supertramp more, it simply asks who in your determination is more prog.

Oh i see, silly me.

Even sillier me to think that Kate Bush was just a faded old pop singer.

What I've heard of Supertramp is not that progressive IMO. They have an original sound, but they dont seem to make music that is in any way complex or conceptual. Overall they seem pretty commercial to me. I quite like what I've heard though.

Kate Bush on the other hand, despite having had numerous hit singles and an often 'pop' approach to making music, has composed long 'suites' has fused completely different styles, and sounds. 'ASky of Honey' and 'The Ninth Wave' demonstrate this clearly, with Welsh male voice choirs against submarine sonars and Irish jigs. Also, 'The Dreaming' album is perhaps one of the strangest and eclectic albums I've ever heard, complete with diggereedoos, bird song, donkey impressions and talking drums... Kate wins, although I dont have any objection to Supertramp being here under prog related.

Ultimately bored by endless ecstasy!

It's strange to put Kate Bush and Supertramp into one hat and then ask who's better...
...I'm a musician/singer/songwriter, visit me on www.reverbnation.com/rupertlenz and there you can choose from 125 recordings you can listen to ( for free ) if you're not limited to prog-rock !
