    Supertramp is a great English rock band formed in 1969. They had so many hit songs in the 70's-80's such as "Dreamer", "Give A Little Bit", "Breakfast In America", "Goodbye Stranger", "Rudy", "Take The Long Way Home", "It's Raining Again", "Bloody Well Right", "My Kind Of Lady", "Cannonball", "I'm Beggin' You", "You Win, I Lose" etc.

    Supertramp is a deep rabbit hole. For me, they are on par with Pink Floyd…..different but equal. They do so much with keyboards and other instruments, and lyrically they are top notch. Any time you hit Supertramp, I’ll be here. Crime of the Century is a fantastic album.

      So very true!
      I'm starting to see a pattern in my favorite '70s bands... They seem to all have a 4-album stretch of pure genius!
      Supertramp: Crime of the Century/ Crisis? What Crisis?/ Even in the Quietest Moments/ Breakfast in America.
      Pink Floyd: Dark Side of the Moon/ Welcome to the Machine/ Animals/ The Wall
      Genesis: Nursery Cryme/ Foxtrot/ Selling England by the Pound/ The Lamb Lies Down on Broadway
      Am I crazy? lol

      @@robertcartier5088 Robert, as I am a massive Supertramp fan - they are my favourite band - I would add Famous Last Words as an underrated LP that should be acknowledged as a classic, making it 5 in a row for me.
      As far as Genesis, I quite like them, individual songs here and there from their early, Peter Gabriel years but I actually prefer the music with Phil Collins as the singer particularly their first foray without Gabriel, A Trick of the Tail.

    Supertramp are like Steely Dan in the way they turned progressive rock on its ear and broke away from prog's more common tropes such as long keyboard solos and odd time signatures. It's progressive, but doesn't drown in complexity. This makes Supertramp far more accessible with almost pop sensibilities. Music fans who may not be fans of classic prog may find a lot to appreciate in Supertramp's more simple, experimental style.

    Facts about this song: It was composed by Roger Hodgson who, in the first piano solo, the hi-hat that is heard is him with his voice imitating the sound of the cymbals. The second piano solo, although composed by Roger, is performed majestically by Rick Davis, as is the harmonica introduction.

    Supertramp is one of the few bands that rivals Steely Dan for sheer musicianship and production. So many great songs, from pop gems like "Give a Little Bit", "Lady", and "Dreamer" to Prog opuses such as "Fool's Overture" and complex classics like "Take the Long Way Home" and this one. "Crime of the Century" is a loose concept album, and this track leads straight into "Bloody Well Right", which expands on its themes. And yes, you heard a clarinet - John Helliwell plays that as well as sax :)

    The whole album is fantastic. It's a concept album with the main character being Rudy. The song 'Rudy' is the most symphonic track. And it shows what they are capabel of in changes, use of instruments (even a bit of sax in the background), together with a well written story.
    Another really great song is Fool's Overture, from 1977 about England in the second world war and what they learned from it. On that track they used the voice of Sir Winston Churchill.

    When you get a warning for not stopping, you will realize it was worth it. Hope you do not get it, but this is the song worthy of not stopping.

    One of the greatest prog rock songs from the beast that is Supertramp. They say that Crime of the Century is not a concept album but there are elements of it within, making it similar to the likes of Pink Floyd's album "Another Brick in the Wall". The album has existential, anti-establishment and the quest for self-fulfillment themes and is best listened to from beginning to end. "Rudy", the main character is disillusioned and disinterested in the idea of conformity rather than education in "School"; these feelings lead him to further rebel in "Bloody Well Right". As we move through the songs, shy Rudy is unable to fulfill his dreams and becomes further and further disillusioned with life and humanity, diving into escapism and eventually madness. As morbid as this all sounds, it is meant to be taken in a satirical fashion as a warning to this possibility and to prevent this, humanity needs to concentrate on what is good about us and what we are capable of: Love, compassion, selflessness.
