💯 Right... There are some rare albums that don't have a bad song. Breakfast in America. Floyd and dark side. Fleetwood Mac rumours and to be fair tango too.. I would even go as far as songs from the big chair by tears for fears.. There's a few out there..

You are so right! One of the best rock bands ever! Every song they did had its own sound! Their music never gets old! ❤

Supertramp were an English rock band formed in London, England in mid 1969. They had so many great songs in the 70's-80's such as "The Logical Song", "Breakfast In America", "Goodbye Stranger", "Take The Long Way Home", "Dreamer" "Give A Little Bit", "It's Raining Again", "Bloody Well Right", "My Kind Of Lady", "Cannonball", "I'm Beggin' You", "You Win, I Lose" etc.

You can't categorize them with just one song. They are like Pink Floyd, amazing instrumentation and deep lyrics, but their own unique style. There are many good songs.

You will love this band! So many great tunes like Give a Little Bit,Goodbye Stranger,Bloody Well Right,And Dreamer, among more tunes!

Bloody well right by them is my jam!

Supertramp's talent is through the roof with many great songs in their catalog.

They started as progressive rock, at this point in their career and this song, it's more pop rock. With lots of extras, like the horns & whistles. Crime of the Century is a "desert island" album, one of those with no bad songs. Listen to it in order, starting with School, followed by Bloody Well Right, and the rest. (Yes, Roger really did NOT appreciate being sent away to school.)

@@christinerobinson9372 People think of "Crime of the Century" as their first album, and it was their first BIG album, with their "classic" band lineup, but they had two prior. A self-titled one, and Indelibly Stamped. "Crime" is a perfect gem; the prior two have some good songs but are a bit uneven. I discovered them as a wee teen, when my sister & her hubs went to see Pink Floyd, and Supertramp was their opening act. I recommend listening to them the way we did, back in the day; the entire first side, a pause, then the second side. Sooo good with headphones.

Don't forget Breakfast in America, those three albums are all fantastic.

Whenever I listen to Supertramp, I'm reminded of being 15 years old when my younger brother and I broke the windows of my mother's closets, listening to "Dreamer" at full volume. I don't think she ever forgot either.

A really underrated band. They had a lot of great songs. "Goodbye Stranger" and "Give a Little Bit" should be the next two.

Not that this wasn't a good live performance. But one of the things with Supertramp, and especially that album Breakfast In America, is the production on the songs is really really good. And there's a lot of little things with this song that they didn't recreate live. In general, if you haven't heard a song before by an artist or band, you should always do the album version first. Unless most people tell you that the live version is the way to go, the studio version should really be your first listen to get a feel for the song and the band.

So excited to see your reaction but then saw it was the live version :(.

This song brings back so many great memories. I was driving around as little kid with my favorite aunt in her Honda Civic. This song was on the radio.

Supertramp seemed very innovative and different back in the day when they first came out. The whole "Breakfast In America" album was fire and most of my friends had it in their collections.

There is a song on the same album called Child of vision that is just great.

In 1974 Supertramp released an album that should easily be in 90% of 70's music lovers top ten desert island albums. It should be listened to front to back, much like most Pink Floyd and Zeppelin albums. If you don't agree with me then that might be the crime of the century. Asia and BJ, you guys are all right. I enjoy your reactions very much because you concentrate on my favorite era/period of music, 1965-1980's. Cheers from the canadian Queen nut.

In college, late seventies, I splurged for two mobile fidelity sounds labs master pressing LPs - Dark Side of the Moon and Crime of the Century. Definitely agree with you.

This came from the album Breakfast In America and to me it's in my top ten records since the day it came out. Goodbye Stranger and Take The Long Way Home might be the way to go next.

I hope you listen to the recorded version of this one as well. Thanks for the reminder, I haven’t listened to Supertramp in a while…I am heading to my Spotify playlist!

You two should dive deep with Supertramp I'll be looking forward to it..

Very Unique Band ..Supertramp is Bloody Marvelous ..thank u great reaction

Great reaction guys! These guys are uber talented musicians, songwriters and lyricists. Check out Bloody Well Right. Big hit and a personal fav. Cheers!!

I've never heard of Supertramp . You will yes you will ✌️♥️

It is an experience

Supertramp was the first concert I ever saw. I was 10, Jarry Park, Montréal, 1979. I remember being mesmerized by the performance. Fast forward to November 2019, Roger Hodgson is the last concert I saw before the pandemic. He still sounded just as great as the first time I heard him 40 years prior. If I had to pick, I think I would have to go with Hide In Your Shell as my favourite song,.

Supertramp is a very special, unique group with many wonderful songs in their catalog. Please listen to their studio album version of this song. It's so incredibly well-produced and beautiful! Then check out the rest of the songs everyone recommended. It's definitely worthwhile!

Love Supertramp❤✌ Thank u👍

Such a unique and innovative band, Their album Breakfast in America was released on March 29, 1979 and would a huge success, it topped the Billboard album charts for 6 weeks. You gotta take a listen to "Take the Long Way Home" and " Goodbye Stranger" two more great songs by Supertramp.

Please check out "Goodbye Stranger," my favorite Supertramp song.

It sounds familiar because Scooter created a remix of it and it's definitely a throwback! You've definitely heard it!!! ♥️ Check out Scooters remix of this song.

This English supergroup was one of the groups we were into whilst in high school in the 70s. My favs are, Give a little bit and Dreamer

Top 10 album of all time for me!

He's singing about how life it self takes joy away in exchange for practicality.

Brilliant lyrics. Next level songwriting.

One of my favorite groups, I had to go see them. One of the best show's I've been to right up there with Queen. More please. Enjoy

Prog Rock... at least to start, Roger Hodgson on vocals and keys. Brilliant writers and performers- I did see them on their Farewell Tour and they were mesmerizing. Peace from Canada- be safe.

Their entire "Breakfast in America" album is outstanding.

dont stop on just this song , this group is awsome !! one of their best albums was called breakfast in america , and i hope you also listen to the studio version too , again this group is awesome , great reactions!!!

Still makes me listen to his lyrics today.. great song writer! Lovenit! 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👍🤘

This song is a warm, fuzzy blanket. Takes me back to my childhood.

My favorite Super Tramp song. Been a long time. Love listening with you. Great band Great song.

What a great learning tool this song is 😁. Love all things SuperTramp but this song and Take the Long Way Home are two of my faves by them 🕊️💗

I love it...these reactors are always discovering our GREAT music!

oh Supertramp are so good, you are going to love them, they had so many great songs. I think we called this New Wave genre.

I love all of Supertramp! It was one of my most favourite groups - started listening in middle school as a teen when they came out. Must dive in! Crime of the Century is fabulous. And their other albums too.

"Bloody Well Right" Studio version starts with the best electric piano solo. "Goodbye Stranger." Both of those songs have co-founder Rick Davies sing while Roger, who you saw in the logical song, plays guitar.

Supertramp is light rock. I haven't heard logical since I was a kid now I'm looking at turning 60 years young this year. Thank you for the blessed memories.

Supertramp was such a big band worldwide back in the late ‘70’s into the 80’s ! So many great story telling songs about youth and growing up and then dealing with all of life’s problems. Check out the songs “ Hide in your shell “ , “ School “ , Take the long way home” , and so many more ! All the videos from this same concert in Paris of them performing their hits are a great watch.

From the album "Breakfast In America". Every song a banger. Released in 1979. At 13, was absolutely obsessed with it! Iconic album art

and the tall blonde guy is John Anthony Helliwell who plays sax,triangle, slide whistle etc....and he chats between songs!! just a lot of talent!!

Long way home Friday stopping at a pub before home with friends Is always good !

Supertramp is MORE than worthy of a deep dive. One of the greatest bands of the 1970's. They have no bad songs. Goodbye Starnger, Fool's Overture, From Now On, School, Bloody Well Right, Hide In Your Shell, Even In The Quietest Moments... and many more!

I heard that song my whole life . It makes much more sense now ... I lived it , it has miles on it.

The song came out in the late 70's and has been a popular radio play for 40 + years. It is possible you heard it on the radio over the years.

They got one song that I never heard on the radio fantastic saxophone work it’s called “my kind of lady” my favorite song by Supertramp

I appreciate live versions✌ but w this song it sounds much better w studio😝

Love Supertramp. Thank you for the reaction.

Hell Yeah! Supertramp! Do more from them. I'm here for it

Omg. This gives me so many memories from when I was a kid. My dad loved music. It was always party at our house with his friends, listening to this kind of music. So they all had a whiskey and rocking away 🤣🤣 I remember this song so much 😍 I even have a huge suitcase full with LP'S. If you call them LP? Thanks for å great reaction and giving me forgotten wonderful memories you guys ❤❤ He died at 52 and my mom at 51. But in those years I learned a lot about these oldies ❤

One of my favourite bands.

I remember being a kid in the late 90s digging through my dad's old records. Man, he had boxes and boxes and boxes stacked 6' high of records. Half the damn basement was records. I'd dig through them and pick out whatever album cover called to me. Stumbling across Supertramp was a life-altering discovery. Supertramp and CSNY. Those two (and all the iterations of CSNY of course) were my life's soundtrack.

Supertramp were just different great lyrics great vocals unusual instruments for a band but just fantastic to listen to I still have their tracks on my MP3 listen to them at least once a week

One of my wife's favourite bands and songs of all time.. Supertramp are absolute perfection...

Fantastic band, many incredible songs!!!🎼👍🎶👌🎵✌️😁

Goodbye Stranger!! My fave Supertramp song.

Supertramp is Rock and now Classic Rock!!!👍👌✌️😁

Super Tramp are amazing. This song is amazing and I love it

You picked a great song to start your experience with this superlative band from the 70's.👍 As a young 🎷 player John Helliwell was a huge influence on me. Especially when I saw this tour in Toronto when I was 14!

This song is so good. It describes the journey we take.

My GOD I am getting old. I remember when this song first dropped back in the 70’s. I was a kid, but I remember hearing and thinking “what the hell is this!?” and immediately after that thinking “I must hear more!”

Supertramp without a sax is like Jethro Tull without a flue or without T-Pane without autotune. And they really do live for the breakdown. This is their version of "Another Brick in the Wall."

Yeah!!!! So glad you guys did Supertramp!!!

This song was the most popular one by Supertramp in Europe from the album Breakfast in America.

I am blessed at 64 that I have laughed all my life

One of their heartfelt songs is Is It Mine.

Supertramp...... I have had the extreme pleasure of seeing “The Tramp” LIVE 4 times. They are musical geniuses on every song they do. Rick Davies - Favorite Piano Player…. John Helliwell - Favorite Sax Player

The songwriter was sent away to boarding school. In the same vein, check out Jethro Tull's 'Wind Up'.

Such an awesome cruise down memory lane - we used to blast Supertramp full volume at work in the late 70s - kept us rocking along Great to see you experiencing them

Breakfast in America Great album I will always have so many memories back I the day !

THAT is LIVE!!!! They were THIS good!

The closest genre to classify: Progressive Rock (classic rock yes but prog-rock) like Styx, Rush, ELO, Kansas, Yes, Asia.

Take the Long Way Home is my favorite song of theirs--the harmonica alone is killer

Great music from my youth, I still have the original album Breakfast In America

I wonder if the lack of knowledge amongst American reactors is down to the way their radio stations operate. As a Brit, we used to have a main pop station, and others doing bits of evergreens, cookery chat etc, plus of course offshore 'pirate' radio. That meant we heard current hits frequently but also some older stuff mixed in now and then, so almost everyone grew up having heard the names of artists from 1950's onwards plus their biggest hits

You may have heard the studio version of this song before, or pieces of it. It was released in the 70's and has gotten lots of radio airplay and may have been used in movies since then.

When Breakfast in America first hit the air I was in high-school on a class three-day trip and remembered purchasing this ( in tapecassett form then ) from a town we'd stopped for a quick break and remember trying real hard not to bounce off the seat.was a definite moment for me .dang I wish Bluetooth was around then.
