You are brilliant- totally crazy but I love you

always great having a Supertramp episode. Crime at #1 for sure! 🌠 Personally I really love Crisis, it's my #2. The Meaning is probably the most underrated track in their catalog. I always found Rick's songs on EITQM a bit boring, while Roger is delivering the gems.

Crisis? What Crisis? is my pick - what a fantastic album! The opening track is addictive. Love the duet on Just A Normal Day.

The piano part that closes the crime of the century is one of my favorite pieces of music

Scott. Thanks for the ranking. One of my favorite groups while in high school going into college. Had the good fortune to see them twice. First saw them at Alpine Valley, sixth row. Saw them later at the arena in downtown Milwaukee. The concert at Alpine was probably the best, purest concert I have ever experienced. Their sound was INCREDIBLE.

Love Supertramp! Blessed to see them live three times on the Crisis, Quietest and Breakfast tours, all in Liverpool. I have a master copy edition of Crime... and a fully autographed copy of Breakfast... I agree with your ranking Scot. Great video my friend.

Solid list! Couldn't agree more on the order. Crime of the Century is GOAT. I feel very fortunate to have seen them on their One more for the Road tour.

Awhile back I mentioned to you that Crime Of The Century didn’t really move me. After talking to my dad he convinced me to revisit it, as well as the rest of Supertramp’s stuff and I’ve come to enjoy it a lot more. It became one of my “early morning” albums, if that makes sense.

You don't hear much of Supertramp these days despite having so many memorable hits back in the day.

My favorite song of theirs is "Try Again" from the debut album, an absolute prog monster.

Supertramp is a heavily underrated prog band, they used to be my all-time favorite band. I fell in awe when I heard Goodbye Stranger and became obsessed with the band. My #1 favorite band is ELP and Supertramp comes in #2 or #3. Really unique band!

Enjoyed your take as usual Scot! Quietest Crime Breakfast Brother Crisis 🦓

I saw them around 1997. It was the "Some Things Never Change" tour & 1 of the best concerts I ever saw. If you listen to "It Was the Best of Times", that was the concert, so I love that album too.

I'm listening to "Crime of the Century". I go on KZfaq to look and see what's going on with your channel and you have a Supertramp album ranking. Awesome. Great minds think alike. 😎

Thank you for this list, what a great band!!

Well done. You got a thousand views!! 🎉 God bless Supertramp and you and your family

Crime of the Century is arguably their bestt. But my 2nd fave is Quietest Moments which has more proggy arrangements than Breakfast. Followed by Crisis. These 4 are the real classics, but I will check out Brother Bound once again

Supertramp is soooo good. To this day they still sound original. One of the most underrated bands in my opinion.

Supertramp......I love so dearly so close to the heart.

A very accurate ranking as far as I'm concerned, the bad albums are awful and the good ones are brilliant. Crime never gets old, another great ranking!

Absolutely a great (and prog) band. A great run of albums from Crime to Brother.

One of two true childhood loves, Supertramp was what I listened to the most as I officially turned into a teenager. Dreamer remains one of my all-time favourite singles, and Crime of the Century remains ultra special. While people go on about how well Dark Side of the Moon is recorded, and I totally agree, I suggest that Crime of the Century is an even better recording. This is what you take in to a hi-fi store when shopping for equipment, especially speakers. As for calling Supertramp a progressive-pop band, this is the first time I've heard anyone label Supertramp what they truly are; A very classy and sophisticated pop band that will cross into progressive territory when it suits the song. Although my first kiss belongs to The Hollies, the true love affair that is Supertramp ended for me when Roger left the band. With Final Last Words I took the opportunity to break it off and move on. However, and despite that, no one is allowed to say a bad thing about Supertramp, or they'll have to deal with my wrath, Peter Hammill style, cape, church organ, demonic voice 'n' all!

They are just a superb group Scot, even though the good stuff is outweighed by the ‘bad’ stuff so it’s a fine representation of how brilliant they were. Have a great week bud. Dave

This is the first ranking list that I absolutely agree with, there is always at least one album I thought should be higher but not with this one... I discovered Supertramp when 'Crime of the Century' dropped. I was talking to the bassist of one of the hottest local bands around, Eulogy, whose guitarist Rusty Anderson went on to play for Paul McCartney, BTW. I was also playing bass in a band, which never achieved the success of either Eulogy, who went on to open for bands like Rick Derringer and another local band who was really hot, called Van Halen (The stories I got). We had been talking about Rickenbacher basses, which we were both ardent fans of and played, when Dirk, this other bassist, suddenly jumped up excitedly yelling I had to hear this new album he had just bought. He went to his van and came back with a cassette, telling me to listen to it and to make a copy if I liked it. That's how I got 'Crime of the Century' which I agree is not only their best album but also one of the best Pop Prog albums ever made.

For me, I rank the Holy Trinity of _Crime of the Century, Crisis? What Crisis?_ and _Even in the Quietest Moments_ as the top three albums of The Tramp's discography. And they all came out back to back to back. After this they went a more commercial route, with _Breakfast in America._ Not that I begrudge them the worldwide success they achieved with this album but for me it was too poppy.

Another great video, Scot! Love Supertramp! Always thought "If everyone was listening" was a beautiful tune... By the way, I have always wondered what your take on Blue Öyster Cult was? I know they're not Prog exactly but surely there are some prog elements here and there? I love them and think they have so much more to them than Reaper and the other minor hits.

It's done. Only change for me would be: 1.Crime 2.Crisls 3.Moments 4.Breakfast 5.Brother. Just an addition....Bob C Benberg, the drummer, did a solo album. It is so Supertramp. Love it. Great ranking Scot. Thanks very much. I'm glad to see many others love them too.

Great review scot, how about top 10 Moody Blues albums at some point🤔😁👌

My first Supertramp album was 'Brother Where You Bound' and the promotional video for the song Cannonball was filmed here in Colorado near Grand Junction. I still have a copy of that video on VHS that I recorded from VH1 back in '85. Great job as always Scot!🤩

Saved my lunch money for a week in elementary school to buy “Paris”, didn’t regret it

Great video! Supertramp is one of my very favorite bands, and created my favorite album of all-time, the absolutely perfect Crime of the Century! So yes, that HAS to be at #1. I actually like all of their albums, with all but the bottom one being quite good, the top 5 are great and the top 3 are all-time classics. Here is my ranking (some a bit different from yours): 11. Free as a Bird (you are right, the nadir of their career, but still a few decent songs 10. Famous Last Words (very disappointing follow-up to Breakfast, some quite good songs, some very bad songs, overly poppy, and bad production) 9. Indelibly Stamped (a bit all over the place, trying to find their sound, but actually much better than its reputation) 8. Slow Motion (Breezy laid-back jazzy grooves, fun extended jams. If you just go with the flow, it's quite good actually) 7. Supertramp (a strong debut, probably their most 'progressive' sounding, but hadn't yet quite found their own sound - seems to be inspired by Trespass) 6. Some Things Never Change (I actually really like this one, great jazz-blues feel and melodies. very under-rated) 5. Brother Where You Bound (With Roger Gone, Rick steers the band back toward a more progressive and jazzy style with great results) 4. Breakfast in America (Big commercial breakthrough, filled with great pop-rock songs, but getting away from their more progressive leanings) 3. Even in the Quietest Moments (Fantastic album, a bit warmer and gentler, filled with great melodies and proggy flourishes, a classic) 2. Cris? What Crisis? (Superb follow-up to Crime, more great blending of prog influences and pop sensibilities, magnificent from start to finish) 1. Crime of the Century (A True Masterpiece. One of the greatest albums ever recorded, sheer perfection throughout: songwriting, musicianship, performance, engineering, production, sound quality) Your comments regarding Crime are right on, but I think you seriously undervalued Crisis, as it is also a sensational album. I also like Some Things Never Change much more than you did. You can find more details and my comments on each album (and favorite songs) on my BB Chronicles blog (bbchron.blogspot). Thanks for your ranking and comments

Saw them in Toronto when Crime came out incredible . ( in a nice small venue )

I have the "Breakfast in America" album framed on my wall, looking at it now

Great band, sat front row back in day for their Free Trade Hall Manchester England gig, only time I ever got front and Centre, Not really considered Prog back then, I always thought they were Prog in the same way that Steely Dan were Rock if you catch my drift? Chris De Burgh (Lady in Red guy) was in support purely as a guy with an acoustic guitar. Supertramp are Prog now and quite right too

Hi Scott , you did it again!!! I couldn't agree more with your ranking!! "Crime of the Century" is certainly their best album and one of the best progressive rock albums ever!! I was studying at the time and I remember so well "School", "Bloody well right", "Crime of the century", "Rudy", "Dreamer" (the hit single) and of course "Hide in your shell" and "Asylum"!! Man what a great album!! Greetings Scot!!!

Even in the Quietest Moments will be forever my favorite Supertramp album, but I am pretty agree with your list. And oh my, I really love Brother Where You Bound...

A legendary band. Crime is my favourite

I'll have to check these albums out. Thanks 👍

finally a supertramp ranking and not a suprising top 3 but yeah no choice . thanks . love your t shirt ❤

From the first forlorn wails of the harmonica right through to the glorious orchestral arpeggios disappearing over the horizon on an endless voyage. It just doesn't get any better.

Supertramp! Crime to Breakfast is untouchable. Any one of those could be my favourite at any given time. Mind you when Breakfast came out I felt it was a bit of a sell out (which it kinda was) it took a few seconds longer to truly enjoy. The guitar solo at the end of Goodbye Stranger is one of my personal favourite solos of all time. Child of Vision! I was disappointed with …Famous Last Words… but it did have Know Who You Are and Don’t Leave Me Now, good Roger songs. Hmmm…Brother, Where You Bound. The title track oddly enough is the longest and proggiest track they ever released. I absolutely love that track and the rest of the album wasn’t too shabby either. Eye of the Storm. Ooooo…. The debut and Indelibly Stamped are pleasant enough, I consider those albums to be more of a history lesson for Supertramp fans. This is where we came from kinda thing. I am totally unfamiliar with any of the disasterpieces that Supertramp made after Brother. As far as I’m concerned that ship sailed when Roger left the band. I’ve seen Supertramp twice (Breakfast and Last Words) I have always loved the live album Paris as a reminder of that fantastic day at Jarry Park in the blistering heat. Jean Luc Ponty opened! Good times indeed!

Agree completely with your number 1 , Crime of the century, great album, great choice 👍

Brother Where You Bound is so underrated. I'm glad you ranked it pretty high. One of my favorite Supertramp albums.

Hi Scot. I am having a beautiful Supertramp evening tonight. We have a very long heat wave here in England. Red wine and my favourite band. We also have a wonderful magazine here in the UK. It's called Record Collector. When I see one that covers YES..I will send it to you. Love from Jenifer. You are the first you tube channel I look for! God save the King!!! King!!! And poor Harry...😊

1. crime. 2. debut. 3. brother bound. 4. quietest moments. 5. breakfast america. 6. crisis 7. indelibly stamped. find the rest unlistenable. supertramp is a prog monster band! they where great live band in the 70's! i still love 7 of their albums. my rating has changed over the decades. scott's a prog monster!! thanks scott.

A beautiful band. I was so lucky to hear my first Prog band whilst wearing headphones. Blew my mind. The Crime Of The Century. The stereophonic sounds, the superb musicianship, the lyrics, the cover...I was 15...never forgotten. Super super supertramp.

For EITQM to be 3rd best shows the level of quality of this band.

"Don't Leave Me Now" rules

Nice ranking, but "Breakfast In America" is further down for me. 1) Crime Of The Century 2) Even In The Quietest Moments 3) Crisis? What Crisis? 4) Brother, Where You Bound? 5) Breakfast In America 6) Famous Last Words and then the rest...

I made an excellent boxset for myself called "The Essential Supertramp/Roger Hodgson"

Hey Scot! Always liked Supertramp. I believe COTC is a complete masterpiece. All the rest are pretty good. Later brother. Remember Rick-Supertramp, Ray-Kinks. LOL!!🔈🔉🔊😎

"Some Things Never Change" is under rated, "Live to Love You" & "Where There's a Will" rule as does "You Win, I Lose" obviously

Love the title track on "Free as a Bird"

Brother over Crisis... interesting...

Do you agree with me that "Casual Conversations" rules? (Pretty sure you DON'T but it DOES!) Love me some "Casual Conversations"!

My Top 5 would be : Crime of the Century, Even in the Quietest Moments, Brother were you Bound, Supertramp and Crises what Crises, Now lets watch the video !! (Im assuming Free as a bird, Slow Motion and Something never changes is at your bottom......lets check !!)

"Babaji" rules also

Great ranking 👍 absolutely agree

Well, of course! CotC is a genuine classic and most of the others ain't bad either.

1) Breakfast in America 2) Crime of the Century Both 1 and 2 are so close but have to give the edge to Breakfast. 3) Crisis?! What Crisis? 4) Even in the Quietest Moments 5) ...Famous Last Words... 3, 4, and 5 are all fantastic, but there's a couple songs on each that I don't resonate with. The rest, I've listened to, but I don't love enough to own them. 6) Debut 7) Free as a Bird 8) Some Things Never Change 9) Brother Where You Bound 10) Indelibly Stamped 11) Slow Motion

Breakfast in America an easy number one

I have a top 4 list: 1. Crisis! What Crisis? 2. Crime of the Century 3. Even in the Quietest Moments... 4. Breakfast in America They are in a very close race to me. And I lov'em all. Like the debute album, kind of indifferent to the sophomore, "Famous Last Words" was a huge disappointment when it came out and "Brother Where You Bound" was a bit of a positive surprise. After that, I lost interest. Then there is this fascinating story of them being asked not to do the second set during their gig at Karmøy, Norway back in 1970. The audience were grown-up couples out for some dancing and the early and still very much obscure Supertramp did not fit their needs. Little did they know. But I'm sure there were some famous last words spoken that night.

For me, not only is Breakfast in America a great sounding album, but the cover art is fantastic fodder for discussion. I mean, c’mon! A waitress mimicking the Statue of Liberty while flying over a mock up of Manhattan Island comprised of white painted breakfast cereal boxes?

Another band I put in the ' progressive pop ' category is 10cc . I rate them overall probably better but possibly not an album they've released , for me to equal Crime of the century.

Supertramp!!!! Breakfast in America is one of the defining albums of the late seventies and the clear number one Supertramp album for me. I must be weird, but I never did get the love for Crime of the Century. Hmm... I was always more of a Roger fan than a Rick fan (although my favorite Supertramp song is Goodbye Stranger) so the later stuff is not really for me. I love Quietest Moments and Crisis and Famous Last Words. Anyway, Supertramp (like all bands) is defined by it's great albums, not by it weaker ones, so count me a big fan!

"Casual Conversations" & "Child of Vision" rule

Love me some Tramp

Hodgsen auditioned by singing Dear Mr. Fantasy.

Although not my cup of tea. We must respect Tina’s legendary status. Beyoncé is not worthy of even holding her beer. An incredible singer. She sang on Frank’s Montana for chrissakes! How cool is that? RIP Tina.😢

Let's go Heat!

1) Crime Of The Century 2) Breakfast In America 3) Crisis? What Crisis? 4) Even In The Quietest Moments 5) Brother Where You Bound 6) Famous Last Words 7) Indelibly Stamped 8) Debut 9) Some Things Never Change 10) Slow Motion 11) Free As A Bird 1-4 are masterpieces...Crime is as close to a perfect album as you'll find, 2-4 are millimeters apart in quality 5-8 are good/very good, 9 & 10 are mediocre songs done well 11 is a flaming turd(apologies to flaming turds), unless you like tedious synth-pop/Kenny G jazz...

Supertramp - Prog??? 🤔 I believe Roger Hodgson may have wore a cape once....

Does your life make as much sense as a Supertramp album cover?

We have a problem. One of us IS deaf. Free as a bird IS an extraordinary album. Much Better than some of their Hodgson era. Crappy vid

i dont understand the is supertramp prog question. to me they are a quintessential prog band. they check off all the same boxes yes, genesis, pink flyod, etc do.

R.I.P. Tina Turner. Simply The Best! 🎤🎤🎤⚘️⚘️⚘️🕊🕊🕊😎
