Best album of 1979. Punk was in fashion, but these guys represented the old school. Super talented musicians, excellent production, thoughtful lyrics. Try more Supertramp!

Lots of great music by Supertramp! The entire albums Crime of the Century and Breakfast in America are must listens

Your girlfriend has good taste in music. Love Supertramp :)

I know you’re checking out some new bands now Silas. Supertramp was a very successful English prog rock band, with several best-selling albums in the 70’s including Breakfast in America from which this song is taken. Other songs from this album that are excellent are Take The Long Way Home and Goodbye Stranger The entire album is excellent. Also the album Crime of the Century which came out in 1974 and was a best seller

The whole “Breakfast in America “album is great!

I watch a lot of reaction videos and Supertramp is universally considered one of the most underrated bands of all time on reaction channels....Crime f the Century is their masterpiece album and should be listened to in order IMO.

Supertramp are a group of 5: Rick Davies; Roger Hodgson; John Helliwell; Dougie Thompson; and Bob Siebenberg (aka Bob C Benberg).

This actually came out in 1979, but close enough. I suggest you check out School, Even In The Quietest Moments, Fool's Overture, Bloody Well Right, Child Of Vision, Breakfast In America, Take The Long Way Home, Goodbye Stranger, Give A Little Bit, Hide In Your Shell. They have 2 singers who sing on different tracks. This was Roger Hodgson singing this one. Rick Davies is the other singer. Once you are familiar with Supertramp you'll be able to tell who sings what. Great band.

Supertramp "Dreamer",, "It's Raining Again",, "Take The Long Way Home",, "Bloody Well Right",, "School",, "Give A Little Bit",, "Goodbye Stranger" + Many More.

Ah, there is hope for the youth of today. Breakfast in America is an amazing album.

"Dreamer" is the recommended song for the entry level listener of Supertramp. Cheers from the Rock and Roll Past!

Actually, the album was recorded in 1978 and was released in 1979.

"Goodbye Stranger" has a killer guitar solo at the end, and I _KNOW_ how much you love guitar solos, especially good ones, and this is a _very_ good one. 😃

I love the part where he says, "...digital, I say 1...2...3...5." It's kinda like he's rebelling against the system by saying "5" instead of what is expected of him (being logical and indoctrinated).

I love how Silas is really moved by music. Great reaction. If you like the sax then "Baker Street" by Gerry Rafferty is a must. I would also like it if you would listen to "Year of the Cat" by Al Stewart.

Super Tramp put together some very high quality recordings on par with Steely Dan who we used to test new stereo equipment back in the day! You can’t go wrong with either group but be careful, Steely Dan is a bottomless rabbit hole many like myself have never returned from! Try “ Bloody Well Right “ by Super Tramp.. you won’t be disappointed.

My favorites out of all their great music is #1 The Logical Song, #2 The Long Way Home, & #3 Goodbye Stranger. What I always took from this song was that it was about the loss of childhood innocence. When you are little, the world is new & magical. Everything is full of joy & wonder. But then you start to grow up, go to school where you learn from adults (& other kids) how to look at your world through different eyes. As you continue to mature, you become part of society & are expected to act, think, & say things a certain way. But deep down you are still an independent person with dreams, creative imagination, & opinions that might go "against the grain" of what you were taught and how others think. It's a song of trying to understand yourself & wanting to break free of conformity instead of being "just another brick in the wall" (as Pink Floyd said). The voices are amazing, but that saxophone is on FIRE! Music from the 70's & 80's & a little bit from the 90's is the only thing I listen to.

Good choice, Olivia! Supertramp had alot of great songs; Goodbye Stranger, Take the Long Way Home, Give a Little Bit, Dreamer, Bloody Well Right, etc....!

All of Supertramp is excellent. Please introduce yourself to the album "Even in the quietest moments," one of my favorites and every song is killer. Thanks for the wonderful reaction. And get Alivia in more videos, her commentary is valuable.

Amazing song! Would absolutely recommend Crime of the Century, it's themes are very similar to The Wall and the musicianship is top tier

I'm 63 and to see this generation listen to, approve and be amazed by Rodgers's vocals creates a happy moment for me. Don't let cool, easy listening, original music disappear.

So many good songs from Supertramp, Hide in your shell, School, Dreamer, Babaji, Child of Vision, Give a little bit, Rudy, Bloody Well Right, Take the Long Way Home, Goodbye Stranger, Crime of the Century and so many others. ❤Great reaction ❤ I’ve enjoyed your Pink Floyd journey and I hope you do the same with Supertramp.

Supertramp is one of the best progressive bands ever. You need to listen to the entire "Crime of the Century" and "Even in the Quietest Moments" albums to really appreciate them.

I was your age about when this song came out in 1979, I never get tired of hearing it. You can't go wrong with music of the 70's

Supertramp is awesome. The band consists of Roger Hodgson, Rick Davies, Dougie Thomson, John Helliwell, and Bob Siebenberg at this point in time. After just one studio album after Breakfast in America, one of their main songwriters, Roger Hodgeson, left for a solo career. He wrote most of the hits by the band, including this one, The Logical Song.

Supertramp used to have 5 members in 1979, when Breakfast in America was all over AM & FM radio. Incredibly good live, too! "The Logical Song" "Goodbye Stranger" "Give a Little Bit" "Cannonball" "The Long Way Home" "Dreamer" "Oh Darling" "Even In the Quietest Moments" "Bloody Well Right" "Breakfast In America" "Brother, Where You Bound?"(with David Gilmour) "Child Of Vision" (more)

Supertramp is a fantastic band. It is more than just 3 guys. They actually have 2 lead singers. The one on this song has the unmistakable high pitch voice. You'll know right away when it is the other one singing instead on some other songs. A lot of their songs are structured such that they highlight or bring in different instruments or sounds, one at a time, building through the song, while others drop out. Much like a series of solos as you mentioned in this one. I recommend going with Goodbye Stranger next and eventually, my favorite, the absolutely beautiful song: Give a Little Bit.

Lots of great music. Crime of the Century, even in the quietest moments , Breakfast are all full of jems.

Yay welcome back Alivia Supertramp are such a brilliant band with some great songs. Even In Quietest Moment is truly awesome

Check out Supertramp "School" from the album Crime of the Century! (in fact the entire album is really good and the final title track pretty much sums up one of the worst aspects of my (older) generation🤔

Superb band. Check out the three previous albums which are all incredible ‘ Crime of the century’, ‘Crisis what crisis’, and’ Even in the quietest moments’. Plus of course the rest of Breakfast in America.

Great song! Supertramp has many great songs. Their BREAKFAST IN AMERICA album is my favorite from them. Try,” Take the Long Way Home” is also a great song.

Child of vision is another brilliant track from the same album

One thing to keep in mind since you listened to Pink Floyd's The Wall recently: The Logical Song came out the same year (1979) and around the same time as Another Brick In The Wall ('We don't need no education'). It was a trip to be in High School at that time and have these sorts of thoughtful and deeply-sceptical-about-education songs (see also XTC's Making Plans for Nigel) high in the charts and all over the radio. There was a lot of great, purely fun music around that time from, e.g., Chic and Michael Jackson and The Cars and Van Halen, but then there was this other, *equally* popular music that was like a slap in the face (in a good way!).

They have a lot of great songs. I was always partial to School, it was a little darker.

We have definitely heard of Supertramp and love their music. I hope you go deeper into their music.

I was in high school in the 80’s, always loved Supertramp. Thank you.

Vote for "Take The Long Way Home" Keep good music alive guys!!! 🔥

This song is from a 1979 Supertramp album. One of my favorite, too. I am old and grew up with the best music. I have all the Supertramp albums in original vinyl. Glad to see some young people enjoying them.

This was my buddy Charlie’s favorite bands! We were 21 when this song came out. Not long after Charlie was killed on his motorcycle. This always reminds me of him! Many many years ago!❤

One of my dad's favorite bands and albums. Grew up on Supertramp, and listen to it a lot, especially when I miss my parents.

Another suggestion for you that has a great sax break… ‘The Year of the Cat’ by Al Stewart.

Thank you Alivia for introducing Silas to the wonderful prog rock band Supertramp! Your best bet is to start with their seminal album from 1974 called Crime of the Century and react to each of the eight songs on it. Each is amazing and well worthy of a reaction! From there it is on to the album Crisis? What Crisis?, then Even In The Quietest Moments, and finish up with Breakfast In America. Each and every song!!

Supertramp is a super group of musicians. Such a wide library of amazing music to choose from.

Supertramp has such a unique sound, and so many great hits ! 🏆

The album that this song is on, “Breakfast In America” was released on March 29, 1979 and was a MASSIVE hit, it won lots of awards. There isn’t one bad song on it. Next from this album you might want to react to “Take The Long Way Home”.

Almost every song on these 4 albums is worth checking out: Crime of the Century (their masterwork) Crisis What Crisis? Even in the Quietest Moments Breakfast in America

I love after he sings "Digital!" then "One, two three...five" - (not very logical!) Roger Hodgson has such a unique voice. The whole album is fire!

Their whole catalogue is well worth a listen! Congratulations on discovering another excellent band!

A very unique song by Supertramp to listen is "School". In my opinion one of the most underrated song in popular music history. A truly masterpiece.

I Looooove to see young people discovering this group that this album which is one of the greatest ever produced 👍👍👍

Alivia, you have so much in the moment intuition, with the ability to reanalyze what you're hearing (and what you've heard already) and communicate those impressions very effectively and... honestly. Your initial reaction feels spot on, but your reevaluating this densely packed song feels just as honest. As though you're not done absorbing it, doing your best to share it, for all the right reasons. Cheers from me, another music lover, to you. More than well done.

I was hoping you would get to Supertramp soon. There is deep hole to dive into here.

This entire album is great. You need to do it, from beginning to end.

You like this. Do the whole album. They are in my top 5 all time bands for sure.

Even in the Quitest Moments is just lovely..the album, and the song

Supertramp has huge, phenomenal band in the mid-1970s and 1980s. I went to a number of their concerts, which , by the way, they sounded even better live. They were top musicians, able to often capture lightning in a bottle with nearly everyone of their songs; many of them masterpieces. Love them. Their songs like Take The long Way Home, Child Of Vision, Dreamer, School, Rudy, Give A Little Bit, all the way to their masterpieces like Fool’s Overture, Brother Where You Bound.

If you liked that and want to hear more Supertramp, check out "Breakfast in America," "The Long Way Home," "Give A Little Bit," and "Even in the Quietest Moments."

If you really like this song check out a Supertramp album. I recommend "Breakfast in America " its a classic

Great reaction guys,every song that they made was genius. Give a little bit is my favourite I play it on my acoustic guitar to my granddaughter she loves it.

When you heard, later in the song, a little ring, ring, it was supposedly the sound of a video game in the 70's.

love me some supertramp & Breakfast in America is a complete gem. Every song on that album is amazing and ther is more than 1 singer & more thans 3 in band / a good cover to cover here....

Every Supertramp song sounds like a circus in town! Love this

Supertramp, the megaband that flies under the radar. Such musical skill and great songs that will stay with you. Please listen to more. Start with the album, The Crime of the Century.

This reaction made my day! I love watching the younger gen discover music I’ve listened to most of my life. That was fun!

I'm back on the school bus in grade nine with this playing on the boom box from a guy who sat in the back seat. hahaha Happy to see you guys discovering them!

Love to see you guys listening to one of my all time favourite bands. Supertramp were simply awesome back in the day.

Try "Goodbye Stranger" and "Take The Long Way Home", on same album.

Can you imagine me sitting on the 5the row in the midst, one of the best places, in the Concertgebouw in Amsterdam, one of the best acoustic music theaters of the world, when i was around 15 and listening to this song live played by Supertramp in their prime years..... Sweet memory......

This is from one of the few albums that almost all of the cuts on it were hits, played over and over on the radio. If you like Sax listen to Jerry Rafferty's Baker Street from 1978.

I love this music from this group called Supertramp. I grew up with this music and I follow their music. Greetings to the members of Supertramp.

Wow I love how much you guys appreciate the music I grew up with (1970's was childhood/grade school and 1980's was high school &. young adulthood). I was eleven when this phenomenal album was released. And yes, it was all the adjectives (and his voice) that made me fall in love with this song. SUBSCRIBED! 👍🏻

I've been a fan of Supertramp since the 70's and in my opinion, they are one of the few bands that does not have ONE BAD song. Great composing, great musicianship, just GREAT overall.

Released in 1979 and the singer is Roger Hodgson. I was there, welcome to the seventies. When I first heard this album I looked like you, now I’m 67. Enjoy the song track of my life.

I was 13 when this came out. John Heliwell was the sax player and was responsible for creating to this song such things as: the sax solo, the breathing at the begining of the song, the claps, and other interesting sound effects. He also was the MC at their concerts with his funny sense of humor

My favourite song ever!! I´ve been teaching it and discussing it with my students for 40 years! Regards from Argentina.

I fell in love with this song in 1979 when it was released. Still love it today as much as I did then.

Supertramp is a great band that you should definitely do more reactions to! Other recommended songs from them are Goodbye Stranger, Take the Long Way Home, Give a Little Bit, Breakfast in America and Bloody Well Right.

The first concert I ever attended was Supertramp. Love them. This is a sad song about the loss of innocence we all experience growing into adulthood.

I'm glad you like it. I was in high school when this came out. Reminds me of so many good times.

Nice reaction you guys! Yes, solos were important at the time because the players were showcasing their individual skills, and almost all popular music at the time featured some sort of solo. This band was great all the way around, lyrically, instrumentally, vocally and production wise. Dig deeper!

My first real concert, April 11th,1979 in San Diego. Blew my little mind, it did. Still one of the top 10 concerts I ever saw. Apparently, Roger Hodgson's wife gave birth just hours earlier - out in the parking lot in the tour bus.

Guys, there you have half a dozen massive hits of Supertramp: 1. School (Album: Crime of the Century - 1974) - This one is a MASTERPIECE; 2. Breakfast in America (Album: Breakfast in America - 1979); 3. Lady (Album: Crisis, What Crisis? - 1975); 4. It’s Raining Again (Album: Famous Last Words - 1982); 5. Hide in Your Shell (Album: Crime of the Century - 1974); 6. Crime of the Century (Album: Crime of the Century - 1974). Now is time to react to Deep Purple too, if you really like solo guitars. Check this ones: 1. Child in Time (Album: Deep Purple in Rock - 1970); 2. Highway Star (check the live version from "Made in Japan" - 1972); 3. Strange Kind of Woman (also from live album "Made in Japan" - 1972); 4. Smoke on the water (also from live album "Made in Japan" - 1972): 5. Stormbringer (Album: Stormbringer - 1974); 6. Speed King (Album: Deep Purple in Rock - 1970); 7. Fireball (Album: Fireball - 1971); 8. Burn (Album: Burn - 1974).

Classic! Always enjoy this song!! Thanks! 💥

Better to find old music from movies than to never find it at all. When I was a kid that’s how we heard a lot of classical music, from cartoons.

Great rabbit hole to go down you two....Enjoy the trip!!

So psyched to see the younguns grooving on Supertramp. I think you'd LOVE the song 'Take the Long Way Home'. Or 'Breakfast in America' or 'Bloody Well Right', so many great ones!

Guys! great reaction... When the band recorded this album Breakfast In America there were 5 musicians. Rick Davies (vocals and keyboards including clavinet), Roger Hodgson (vocals, keyboards and guitars, acoustic 12-string guitar and vibes), John Helliwell (saxophones, vocals, woodwinds), Bob Siebenberg (drums) and Dougie Thomson (bass).

Silas,, PLEASE Trust Me On This,, There Is No Classic Track More Perfect For You & Alivia To React To Together Than This One,, Yes "Roundabout"..An Absolute MUST HEAR!!

Photo shows 3 guys but 5 guys on this song/ band at that time. Always one of my fav from this great group! Thanks to you!

Supertramp were and are HUGE over here in the UK. We love em!

My favorite group when they were doing their best albums; I was in high school. They're still my daughter's favorite group and she was born four years after Hodgson left the group.

I’m so glad you resurrected this great song. Well done.

My favorite group in college. Great memories!

I'm 47 and i remember hearing this as a child. My sister was a teen when this came out and it was one of her favorite records. I still love this - total childhood nostalgia/memories. Check out Breakfast in America and Take the Long Way Home. Those are great!

This song is from their "Breakfast In America" album. Every song on this album is amazing! "Goodbye Stranger" would be a good song to do next.

Discovered and fell in love with this gem (and band) when it came out in ‘79. I was 8 and this song was one of the first of many many songs I have obsessed over. Agree with the Baker Street suggestions / requests. Another favorite of mine. Super saxxy song.

Supertramp. Always quailty in their productions. so many layers of instruments in the mix of their records. Fun with lots of surprises.

SUPERTRAMP ARE AMAZING. THE LONG WAY HOME IS ANOTHER GEM, THEY HAD MANY, MANY GREAT SONGS. ANOTHER GREAT 70'S BANDS

The Breakfast in America album was released on March 29, 1979. It's still a 70's album, not 80's. Glad your catching up with the best music, the 60's and 70's go very deep indeed. It was a pleasure and a blessing to have grown up during that timeframe and seeing the best of the best for so many years in concert. I saw Supertramp play this album on the Breakfast in America tour on March 19, 1979 (10 days before albums release) at the Checkerdome in St. Louis - 2 days after graduating USMC boot camp! Great show.
