Hard rock Supertramp? Kinda?

[The Polack MSgt]

Well, hard-ish any way.

Just such a genius piece of songwriting

1. An iconic Prog Rock band.

One of the best. That whole album is incredible. From 1970-1979 Supertramp had one incredible album after another.

5. Rodger in 2016 London, voice still clean and clear...

2. Under-rated, IMO.

Always a great trip back.

3. Roger Hodgson is phenomenal, but the other guy ... I forget his name ...

He's also a badass.

10. A possible musical alternate history

One of my best friends' has a brother who owns a sound company and owns a rehearsal studio in LA. In the late 80s, when Yes had splintered into two separate groups the first time, he was renting out the studio to Chris Squire and Trevor Rabin's half of the band. They were rehearsing and auditioning replacement singers. Roger Hodgson was the leading candidate, before all the various Yes members decided to get back together and it became moot.

12. He'd have been great ... could've been really cool for sure! nt

9. That moment at 4:15 is freaking delicious.

Not their most popular album but throwaway Supertramp is better than most bands greatest hits.

Still one of the best live bands I have ever heard.

11. Crime of the Century is one of my favorite albums

A masterpiece front to back. The horn kick on Bloody Well Right kills me every time.
