A 'Prog-Lite' guilty pleasure of mine, which STUPER-TRAMP album do you turn to most oftenest?  For me, it's "Crime of the Century", not a weak moment on the entire album, and the wife doesn't throw her footwear at me when I listen to it (unlike most of the other albums in my collection) ------------- Marmalade...I like marmalade. |

Even In The Quietist Moments. Fool`s Overture is my favourite Supertramp track.

| Really like EITQM: The tune "Even in the Quietest Moments" and "Fool's OVerture" are excellent, though "Crisis" had some excellent tunes as well "Sister Moonshine" for example. I preferred Roger Hodgson's stuff generally, but Rick Davies had excellent tunes as well. But, like a lot of other artists, when Hodgson went off on his own, he never regained the quality of the Supertramp stuff. |

| Crime of the Century is the strongest album in terms of the sheer amount of good songs on it. Even In the Quietest Moments contains their proggiest track " Fool's Overture," and is my second fave overall. The most underrated is probably their first, pretty good for a debut. |

| "Crime Of The Century". Although that's the only one I own, so I'm not too sure. |

Hi Everybody, No matter if there are some people that hate them or do not consider them prog. To this people: I love their sound, I love both voices (Roger and Rick), I think his drummer is great. And I consider "Crime of the Century" one of the greatest albuns ever done. Well, this is my opinion Best Regards...

| Crime of the Century is an essential lp to anyone's collection. Even in the Quietest moments is good as well. |

Just a sidenote, somebody should send in some more Supertramp mp3s. There's only one available on their page and it's a piano ballad, not very representative of their sound. Anyway, back to the topic...

Crime of course . But Brother, Moments and the debut are tied for second. ------------- let's just stay above the moral melee prefer the sink to the gutter keep our sand-castle virtues content to be a doer as well as a thinker, prefer lifting our pen rather than un-sheath our sword |

Well the only album I've heard from them is "Crime of the century" and
I think it's great but I need to get my hands on those other albums
before I can vote.

Hey, I also voted for Crime, but let me tell you that you have an extremely violent wife: my wife doesn't throw anything at me, but softly allures me plugging the headphones and putting them on my ears... sexy... But yes, she can stand Supertramp. |

Close call between "Crime..." and "Even..." - but "Breakfast..." has a lot going for it too.

But what about "Endelibly Stamped",their second album? It was left out of the poll so Cluster seems unaware of it's existance. It's not as good as "Crime...." obviously,but better than the first one with some very proggy moments,as well as some rather weird ones. They hadn't settled on a direction yet so it sounds very fragmented,they even went for a Zeppelin/Purple type of heavy rock on a track called "Potter",Supertramp the hard rock band,good thing they decided against going in that direction! But it has some gems,especially "Rosie Had Everything Planned" a beautiful ballad with lyrics so surreal the band didn't even know what it was about! There's a very long,very proggy track called "Aries" which is mostly improvised,very uncharacteristic for Supertramp who were very meticulous about everything they recorded. On "Aries" they loosen their collars and just jam,which sounds selfindulgent on paper,but the result is pretty good. Well worth getting if you're a Supertramp fan. ------------- Odi profanum vulgus et arceo. |

Nah I know about it, but don't own it. I didn't put down ALL their albums, just what I thought would be popular, that's why I included an 'Other' selection  ------------- Marmalade...I like marmalade. |

Crime of the Century. Breakfast in America is poppier but also good. Crisis is an often overlooked gem.

At first I liked Even in the quietest moments more, but now it is really crime of the century, especially the last two songs. ------------- http://www.last.fm/user/Philrod/?chartstyle=Geldropdown-small">

Wow, if only every poll was this easy ... Crime Of The Century is surely Supertramp's masterpiece ------------- "Death to Utopia! Death to faith! Death to love!

Crime Of The Century. All through high school I had a cassette with Crime Of The Century on one side, and Dark Side Of The Moon on the other. Lethal. Just when you were done with one, you were ready for the other - it never stopped

How many of you have actually heard Supertramp's first album?
Based on votes, it seems the answer would be one and me. IMO it
is the the most proggie of them all. I suggest that if you have
not heard it, and are lucky enough to find it, you give it a listen. It's totally different than anything they did after that.

Breakfast in America is the one I think of as a perfect synthesis of high musical ambition and commercial approach... it's quite a lot of fun to listen to. Nonetheless, I like 'em all up to "Brother where you bound", afterwards they always were in danger to lose tension ( though I like Rick Davis' stuff a lot and found that "Free as a bird" isn't half as bad as I thought at my first listen ! ). I find it strange that Roger Hodgson, too, made only one album that really satisfied me after the split... his first... so it was as he said during that last concert in Munich: "From now on there'll be TWO Supertramp, one as good as the other"... ------------- ...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 ! |
