EVERYBODY owned this album back in the day.

The real hidden gem on this album is “Child of Vision” IMO. One of my all time favorite albums, and Supertramp is a top5 for me.

Freakin love Supertramp!

They are in MY top five! Musicians with substance.

Supertramp is of the greats. So glad you are back dude.

Supertramp is definitely in my top five!

They were great live too.

I had no idea that anyone covered Breakfast in America.

Rockin' the Klezmer! Breakfast in America was a massive record back when it was new. I was in eighth grade. I remember that we reacted to "The Logical Song" in our social studies class. Our teacher was cool. At any rate, one of the benefits of getting old is losing track of new artists and being completely unaware of the various covers they record for better or worse.

I put this album on the turntable at the radio station when it was new. I only took the needle off long enough to turn the album over! Every song, love at first listen!!!

That Tuba is FIRE.

One of my favs from High School.

Immaculate Vinyl. Front to back. Nice one Biz ☘️🚬

I think ( although I love so many of their songs too) the last time I have heard someone say that their favorite band was Supertramp was Julia Louis Dreyfus on her show New Adventures of Old Christine. The way it was written into the sitcom, her friends/family were ribbing her for liking Supertramp. This is one of those bands that was saving a lot of us from having to hear disco all the freaking time in that era.

This is one of the best albums of all time, IMO. Brilliant! It was a revelation to the 16 year old me back in 1979!

I bought this Supertramp album when it came out in 79 and Supertramp Live in Paris. Used to love playing them while driving down the road.

"How long their run was" -- the band existed for a long time but their glory years were 1974-1983, when they had the "classic lineup" of Davies, Hodgson, Helliwell, Siebenberg, and Thompson. They put out 5 studio albums and one astounding live album in that period. Hodgson left the group in 1983 and it was never the same.

One of the all time best bands in my opinion as well. Thanks for sharing.

Supertramp is super high on my list! It's what some of us used to refer to as Art Rock. Wish they were still playing together! When I was in high School drama class I did a pantomime of the song Lover Boy as a brand new senior at a new school. I was crazy nervous pulling a girl from class to be on stage with me, but I got an A and some new friends! ✌️❤️🤟🥁

that beautiful clarinet!!!!

Hi BizMatik, I suggest you look at all Supertramp's songs live. The Live in Paris concert is available on KZfaq and there are several singles pulled from that concert are also available. I saw them in 1979 in Seattle. I've been following Roger Hodgson for years, since he left the band in 1983. My favorite now is "Another Man's Woman" (Live), Rick Davies on piano and Roger Hodgson on guitar. TOO GOOD!

I looked at what Supertramp you have done from Breakfast in America... 2 song that you haven't done that are both EPIC are Child of Vision and Gone Hollywood.

HAAAAAA! Classics! Everyone ract like him on the first listen

Great reaction and I learned something! Did not know this was covered. Pretty good cover too! Funny comments Biz. Thanks for this!

Hi Biz!This song came out just as I was preparing to go on my first trip to America, so I feel a lot of nostalgia and memories when I listen to this! One of my favourites! Peace and Blessings to you and yours from Australia.

My favourite Supertramp song is "Take the Long Way Home"

Funny reaction 😂 You definitely gotta hit Gone Hollywood from this album too

This was the first vinyl I bought with my own money when I was 10 yo. Thanks for the reaction.

Greetings from Canada. #1 (tied) Zep + Floyd #3 Jethro Tull #4 Dire Straits #5 Supertramp Peace, love and bellbottoms.

Crazy great song one of my favorites, thanks Biz

Crime of the Century album is a gem

Nice job!!!! Appreciate you

This album is in my Top Five

Supertramp has never been underrated.

they took the hook... i knew it was supertramp but i thought it was a cool homage when i heard it, GCH

My favorite on this album is a deep cut called: Just Another Nervous Wreck

The whole album is fire - as are their previous albums "Crisis What Crisis" and "Crime of the Century". All three albums are worth full-album reviews. The "Even in the Quietest Moments" album isn't far behind them either. On this song, I always love the use of trombone and tuba to fill out the sound and add that bass horns feel. And yup, Gym Class Heroes used the basis of this song, and their song is credited to McCoy/Hodgson/Davies :)

Great album, I saw the tour for the next album zip also Roger Hodgsons final tour with them. Incredible sjow

Check out their live videos, the Paris concert was awesome 🔥

Yes you've seen my Top 5 but I also told you Supertramp is battling for #6 with Genesis & Styx so that's not bad

Great freakin album!!

I enjoyed watching your reaction to the “never seem to get a lot”

I still do...CD...!!!!

Musically, a banger. Lyrically, just slightly poking fun at some features of American culture. Songwriter Roger Hodgson being a Brit, quite understandable

Always in my longstanding top 5 with the Beatles, Genesis, Led Zepp, and Floyd. Not fussed about this track or the album. Go for 'Crime' or 'Crisis what Crisis.'

Why aren't they in many people's top five? Well, I've been a long time fan of Supertramp, going back to their early albums and I mean at the time they came out. For instance, I wore out "Crisis What Crisis* back in the day ...a much underrated album. You're quite right, Biz. Catchy songs, meaningful lyrics, great instrumentation and yes, they can play. They weren't seen as a cool band ...they weren't hard or tough, they looked like geography teachers and they didn't have sex appeal, thus didn't attract a female following. Plus they didn't really fit into any particular genre. None of the aforementioned issues bothered me any, but they are issues that bother many people. For me, it's all about their music ...and it's stood the test of time, for sure.

I'm so glad you are back. Love you

Biz in America

Love ST!!

Lovin it!

listen tio the live in concert version

Hey my Man, react to Coverdale/Page, the song, "Over now." You'll love it.

There great like Toto also!

🦈

did ya notice the city on the album is made of restaurant equpment?

I do like Fallout Boy. They did a version of this song?

Supertramp IS amazing. other than that, I have no idea what you are talking about -LOL😵‍💫

Some people may not know this, but if you mirror image the album cover, it says 9 11 right over the twin towers.

Damn I love thls song. Been a favorite of mine forever. Never gets old. I remember at couple decades ago some douche rap group sampled it for some horrible song.

1st

Sorry Biz. Most of what you thought was new, was very old.

not much of a Girlfriend...

Don't be too hard on Gym Class Heroes. You should react to them now that you've heard this song

Gym class SMUCKS, only this artistic about them is being RIP OFF ARTISTS! They made such a mess of such a great SUPERTRAMP song! Shame

Supertramp is definitely in my top five!
