God damn, Crime of the Century is a fantastic album. It's the only one of theirs that I have. I've heard Even in the Quietest Moments and Breakfast in America are worthy albums as well, but I've only heard a few tracks from each.

Any love for Supertramp here?

I never much cared for them, but admittedly, I've only heard a handful of songs on the radio.

I really want to go deeper into their catalog. So far I only have Breakfast in America, but I really like it and recommend it. Songs like "Goodbye Stranger" and "The Logical Song" really stand out.

Breakfast in America is a pretty good album. Crim of the Century is alright. Other than that, there's really no need to fuck around with Supertramp.

bah... I stand by my original claim. Crime of the Century is great. That, and there's a handful of other great tunes of theirs I've heard.

You may want to check out Crisis! What Crisis!, and Even In The Quietest Moments. Unfortunately Supertramp has no indie credibility so they won't be that well received on this board. They sold millions of records for a reason, they're good.

I've also heard a lot of their stuff used in advertisements and covers lately.
