One of my all time favorite quotes is from the movie 'Green Book': 'So if I'm not *black* enough and if I'm not *white* enough, and not *man* enough, then tell me, Tony, what am I?' As a person from a very different place, this one explained to me things more than any amount of history lessons or whatever. Peace \m/

You know what they say: you give your finger and next time people will want your hand. I haven't give up in request of non-english speaking artists. And you've been good for us (you've been good for everyone, in fact, such a diversity in your channel 😊) Next time, for you guitarist section you do once in a while (Paco de Lucia, Andrés Segóvia, etc..) just don't forget to react and see a Carlos Paredes performance. You will be blown away. Specially this song (there aren't many videos from him playing live, unfortunately) kzfaq.info/get/bejne/j56ThZR-lsXbh4k.htmlsi=1JEm6-OW5IPh22me (poor video quality, but one of his unbelievable songs, "Variations in D Minor" kzfaq.info/get/bejne/qr2AaKSG0bHXdY0.htmlsi=0ofVi0HgkTvTTA0D (soulfull song "Dawning Chant")

One of the best of the more melodic British punk bands (along with the Buzzcocks and the Clash), and certainly not a one-dimensional sound - they had both brash songs like this and also gentler tracks. They're often compared to early music by The Who from a decade earlier, which is a pretty fair comparison. The new sound's good, but the set still needs some work :)

Obrigado meu amigo. Try "Vento No Litoral", or "Faroeste Cabaclo". 😁.✌&❤

You should give a listen to one of the greatest musicians that got popular on the 80's. His name is Djavan and he has a song featuring none other than Stevie Wonder playing the harmonica.

Sounded like Brazil's attempt at a 'The Smiths' knockoff band to me... Only blander, with a less charismatic, and capable vocalist. Where do you find this stuff :)

Check out Soldados from their first album, or maybe Angra dos Reis. For a deep cut, try Acrilic on Canvas from their second album. There are a lot of other songs I could mention, the well is deep. And a lot of other bands and artists from that period, like Barão Vermelho, Cazuza (who came out of Barão Vermelho), Engenheiros do Hawaii, Titãs and Paralamas do Sucesso are probably the best, for me at least.

Wow JP, I'm surprised that you take the time to check out some South American rock bands. Legião Urbana was an important band for its generation. They are one of a group of bands that assaulted the airwaves in the early eighties all from the nations capitol Brasilia. The name meaning Urban Legion called attention not just for the sparkling sounding guitar of Dado Villa-Lobos but mostly for the quality of singers Renato Russo's lyrics. Their first two albums are full of songs about relationships that can be read as not of a couple but of a generation with its country. Tempo Perdido, meaning Time Lost is, under the surface, questioning a new younger generation if they are prepared to get old under military dictatorship too. A more direct song from their first album is Soldado (Soldier) where he talks about playing soldier as a child; then repeatedly asks the question 'who is the enemy? who are you?'. Historically speaking, dictatorship in Brazil will fall under the weight of a failed economy a few years later in 1986. Renato Russo died early of AIDs related disease. Thank you for playing this and perhaps helping to expand the fanbase. Stay healthy.

I am a prog fan, but I didn't appreciate Supertramp until years later. But someone not even knowing about them? That's like saying you've never heard of Sing, Sing, Sing, or Take Five or In the Mood. Or Well All Right, or It's So Easy to Fall in Love, or Peggy Sue. Not to mention Not Fade Away.

I have to commend you on your impeccable taste in music, Justin! 😁👍

No… He really didn’t get this song .. In a nutshell this song is about the snowman… The snow falls to the kids delight they build the snowman who takes on a life that the kids never see. But he lives and suffers being torn apart by the same children who just doesn’t know the snowman is alive.. Fictitious Yes, But BEAUTIFUL ALL THE SAME!!! BRAVO MIKE RUTHERFORD GREAT SONG!!!!

Supertramp have such a distinctive blend of cheerfulness and menace, a kind of sweet and sour that has both immediate appeal and satisfying staying power.

Your room is looking good. I can't wait to see it finalized! Just keep up the great reactions! I found a lot of great new music from your channel. I love the room change so far.

Forgot about this one. Nice. Classic Supertramp! Like Genesis, great cross-fades and suspense into a great groove. And then the CHANGE. This band is so unique and so substantial.

Nice reaction to a classic cut.👍

My second favorite Supertramp album behind Crime of the Century. 1st Supertramp album I bought when it came out when I was a junior in college. Love this album. Fantastic! Thank You Justin.

Ayyyyy you’re based for this album reaction and review. Highly underrated album. And ‘The Oath’, what a legendary song. To me it’s a masterpiece and is to metal what Yes’s ‘Closer to The Edge was for prog. Just my opinion tho

I don’t think it’s the same tank on the cowboy beatpop

This is the greatest vocal in the history of music of any kind!!!!!

Cult album, after 44 years it is still my favourite album of all times. bought it when i was 12. their biggest strength was the big difference between rogers and hodgson.

Elvis is a wordsmith. His use of language is delicious. There's no other word for it. I can roll his lyrics around inside my mouth and feel them just spread through me. Just the sheer beauty and glory of language and words and sounds.

I still remember the first time I heard this song in an old stereo. Up until then the only song I've heard of Supertramp was The Logical song which I loved. But everything was about to change when I inserted a dusty burned cd that was inside a paper wrinkled red envelope with the word Supertramp written on it. I found it hidden on my father's stuff on time I was alone at home. Just by hearing the fade in of this song my mind was blown away and sinced then I forever became a Supertramp fan.

Always here for The Jam. What you called the scratchy bit always puts me in mind of early Who. The new set is looking nice.

Your set up will be complete when you get rid of the back drop cloth.

Delighted to have recommended this (with others).

I have their first 2 cds on my phone. The lead guitaris reminds me of the lead guitarist of scotting band Gun. Both where were brilliant bands around at the same time. I have chatted to the lead singer Mark on facebook about the 2nd album and how it helped me when I moved to London in 1989. He's a nice fella.

Personally i find this bland, over produced and instantly forgettable pop.

I’m so glad to see a reaction to this! It’s my favorite album and I bought the vinyl this year (the first vinyl record I’ve ever bought!)

A band that just gets better with age 💙 - seeing them and The Manics in Cardiff on Friday and I can’t wait. Stunners 👌🏻

You're gonna LOVE this album ;)

One of my top 10 albums. You will love it

I remember when I was 16 yo and my friend told me to put the head phones on and he played Super Tramp. I've been a fan ever since.

From Then Jerico you have to listen to "Big Area" if possible "Big Area (Lost Mix)" a true No. 1 in Valencian clubs

They do sound a bit like Simple Minds.

The Stranglers are one of the greatest bands in the history of popular music

Tears by Alice in chains AI cover m.kzfaq.info/get/bejne/mtNymK6Xt66xpY0.html&pp=ygUbYWxpY2UgaW4gY2hhaW5zIHRlYXJzIGNvdmVy

"Reeling" by then Jericho is jangly guitar rocker. Very U2 esque

For me, Supertramp will never not be in my list of Top 10 greatest groups of all time, nearly making it into my Top 5 GOATs after the Beatles, Genesia, Yes, Rush, and Pink Floyd. #6 GOAT isn't too shabby!

Alice In Chains made a beautiful cover of this song. Check it up!

While i agree it is very generic 80s pop, everything has its place, even if it's not my favourite genre. At the time, i was bouncing between Talk Talk and David Sylvian (in my lighter moments) and Killing Joke and Fields of the Nephilim (in my darker...). If you fancy checking out another track of theirs, try Big Area, which i think is a better track.

These guys were a unique sound in prog - as unique as Gentle Giant and Tull - all one-offs, with their own completely unique sound, but unmistakably prog. This is just a great track from another great Supertramp album, one of their finest classic disks.

Aye I remember these guys, I thought they were pretty average but ok.

Their first album is always a "go to" one for me.

All of the tracks invoke some form of inner feelings

Theses were a really good band, did 2 great albums then disappeared. Went to see them quite a few times back then, they were a great live band, even covered Led Zeppelin’s Trampled Under Foot. Great singer and frontman. Another great band/ album from this period are Cutting Crew again with their first album Broadcast, such a great album from start to finish. So many great bands around this period, these were my teenage years

The start of one of the greatest rock/pop/prog/art rock albums of all time!

What it is is tedious, repetitive, 80's pop chart fodder. You've not heard of them, hmmm, no surprise there, their career can hardly be described as meteoric :)

A little too early for me to have taken any notice of them at the time and too blah for me to have wanted to dig into their back catalogue when I did become musically aware but I reckon tracks like this would have been a pleasant enough diversion on mainstream radio as a reprieve from the latest SAW artist.

This is without a doubt my favorite Elvis Costello tune.

I think I liked the Les Claypool ending best. :-) It's Tommy the Cat, right? Liking that 80's sound as you do, I'm pretty sure you'd love the *Major Parkinson* album, *Valesa* , which is set in those times, has some references to Kurt Vonnegut's Cats Cradle in it, and some to Lech Walesa, the leader of Poland's fight for freedom. They don't let themselves be pinned down too specifically, but there's a clear "80's feel", and it's deliberate. Looks like they've scrapped the idea of completing the second and third albums in the series, and gone over to a mixture of surviving by other means, and the occasional concert, now. That's a pity. My impression was that "Volume 2" was going to be yet another radical departure. There's a Valesa playlist on KZfaq, and isolated tracks. *Saturday Night* is one of those (but I'm pretty certain I've recommended it before). kzfaq.info/get/bejne/d8iFjdp4mba0hI0.html (It gets a bit Depeche Modal at times.)
