Supersister has some good moments and some annoying moments Supertramp has some absolutely amazing moments ( Fool's Overture for one ) many many good moments and only a few annoyingly sappy moments Supertramp all the way ------------- Prog On! |

| Neither is among my top bands, but I respect their work. At the end, I voted for Supersister. |

Supersister...the first 3 are amazing . Supertramp was always prog lite to me and I'm a big Canterbury fan so Supersister appeals to me. ------------- One does nothing yet nothing is left undone. Haquin |

Never really considered Supertramp to be prog, but I prefer them over Supersister. ------------- The razamataz is a pain in the bum |

I haven't got any problem with Roger's voice and think that it fits perfect Supertramp's sound. By the way - voted for R&R of course.

Very Tough. I'm glad U included equal liking, because I could make no other choice. Supersister: one of the best Canterbury groups. To the Highest Bidder one of the best albums ever! Supertramp: amazing band. Crime of the Century, a classic! ------------- Z |

Dig the Sister but they're so derivative - close your eyes and it could be Nat'l Health, Hatfield, the Softs, even Caravan. Supertramp's initial album is the reason I'd rate them over SS, but I only find Crime and Crisis interesting after that. SS is a gas - they were only teenagers when they recorded their first album.....and the first three are all excellent. But that first Supertramp album, man. ------------- I like to feel the suspense when you're certain you know I am there..... |

| Supersister. Their three albums of ”Present from Nancy”, ”To the Highest Bidder” and ”Pudding En Gisteren” are completely unique and forward-thinking, incorporating mainly Canterbury influences but also a lot of other tasty stuff. Highly enjoyable for me. That’s not to say that Supertramp are bad by any means, in fact I own multiple Supertramp albums. But for me they are simply a bit too poppy. Seems I am living up to my nickname lol. Stereotype of myself, I am |

Supertramp was always one of those bands that never quite made me take notice. Pleasant but nothing special. Decent songs but a bit twee at times. Prog lite...more arty pop rock than prog and they are listed here as 'crossover' a category for what...bands that aren't really prog? (Off topic but then several bands in that category don't belong there imho)

I make your words mine. But I would change Crisis? for Brother, as that album is one of the best (few) works the prog rock world had to offer in the 80's. I don't think Supertramp as a whole is underrated but, in my opinion, Brother Where You Bound and the debut album are some of the most underappreciated prog rock albums ever. They are easily 3 1/2 star albums for me while Moments is a 3 and Breakfast 2. ------------- Not for rent. To any God or government. |

I listened to all four of Supersister's albums again recently which confirmed that I much prefer Supertramp.

Until I discovered Supersister I found much of the Canterbury Scene to be less than enjoyable. They are the pinnacle of the sub-genre in my book. Crime of the Century is one of my favorite all-time mainstream albums. The first album is a decent prog album, but kind of seems like a less attractive Genesis sibbling. Other than that the remainder of their discography doesn't resonate with me at all. So definitely Supersister wins this battle for me. ------------- https://www.last.fm/user/Tapfret" rel="nofollow">  https://bandcamp.com/tapfret" rel="nofollow - Bandcamp |

Nice to see one of my old polls pop back up! I actually don't know Supersister very well but did this one because of the word "Super" in both of their names. I really only know the Supersister song "radio" from an old prog boxed set and that's about it.
