>one of the best rock albums ever made>nobody talks about it
I think it is still is the best selling English language album ever sold in France, or something similar. But yeah, Supertramp are great and deserve more recognition in this Ok Computer shitty board. Swtich Oh Darling with Take The Long Way Home and you get a 10/10 Side A

>>129757621>>129760204
Supertramp is the only band with chungus characteristics where trying to look past that was worth it. Fun and clever songs all around.
>>129757514>America = Manhattanof course they're bongs
For me it's Crime of the Century
>>129761889spooky
>rocksupertramp were soft rock at best. even then they are pretty much adult contemporary
>>129762676this. falsetto trash
>>129762142so diners with that kind of woman waitress don't exist in rural areas?
>>129762735They did, they got that part right.
its good but not that good, I could list 50 better "rock" albums
>>129761889the Muslim terrorists who detonated a bomb in the WTC garage a few years beforer 9/11 was also a clue as to what was going to happen, but no one ever mentions that
>>129763237lolpls do>>129762676>>129762691when zoomers don't know the meanings of terms and hope no one will call them out
>>129762142To fly from the UK to US it's typically London to NYC.Not too many direct flights from Heathrow to Chubby Walker's Tasty Snack Foods Regional Airport in Snakesballs, Wyoming.
>>129762691>falsetto trashthe Monks did it first
>>129757514It was 9/11 psyop
>>129757514just tried listening to it in full, its meh
When I was a kid I thought Supertramp and Rush were the same band. The singers both sound like leprechauns.
this album went so hard when I was 12.>>129766567kek
Man I play this at least once a month man>>129766567lmao
>>129757557What the fuck. Also are any of their other albums worth listening to?
>>129764561i'm 63 years old and i will be hating Supertramp to the grave. always have and always will.
>>129757514because nobody cares. looks like boomer slop
>>129761889>>129757514Supertramp did 9/11
sorry pal, but /mu/ is a Three Dog Night kind of board
>>129757514I mean, it's a classic album that spawned a handful of hit singles, that still get heavy rotation on classic rock (and some pop) radio.I guess kids aren't talking about Supertramp around the playground... but why would they? Crime of the Century is the better album overall.
>>129767506I'm an elder millennial (1990 born), and in the mid-2000s we were all kind of force-fed classic boomer rock by our parents/elders. Music was in a weird place at that time, and there was already this feeling of 'electronic vs analog' happening. Most pop music at that time was coming from hiphop/RnB/dance music, but hiphop producers used these really cheesy synthetic sounds as a result of the early pro-sumer gear renaissance + small home studios. Very simple beats with like a midi saxophone melody. There was this longing for more musicianship, even back then. Think the movie "Hustle and Flow". So our parents jumped at the opportunity to brainwash us into revering the artists from their era. We so respected and wanted to impress our elders, that we gladly went along with it.This is really the only reason we have /mu/-core from before 99.9% of the board was even born, and older albums in general bandied about on this board to this day. Us millennials upheld the music of our parents in such a way that it almost seems to be a collective understanding that things were just "better" back then. The before-times, y'know?But there is some truth to it. Music was held in higher esteem, with greater attention to detail at every step along the way. It just meant something different to go out and produce an album in the 1970s than it does today.With all of this said, I listen to a band like Supertramp and just think... yeah, my fucking Dad was right. This is just better songwriting, better musicianship, better production. They don't make 'em like they used to.
>>129768013>elder millennialyou're a mid milliennial. the elders are in their 40s
>>129768104Technically, I guess. Yeah. I dunno if I agree with how it's all laid out, if you were 19-20 years old and drinking and fucking in the year 2000, feels like a pretty wildly different experience than doing that in 2010. Not that relevant to my overall point...Anyways, I was 15 years old in 2005. There was a massive Classic Rock revival at that time. There were even kids in bands wearing thrifted suits and making like 1960s "? & the Mysterians" garage rock while larping on MySpace. It actually took the New Weird America freakfolk movement with Devendra Banhart, Joanna Newsom, Angels of Light, etc. to bridge me back over to modern music. From like 15-18, I wouldn't listen to anything but boomer shit.
>>129768203>There was a massive Classic Rock revival at that time.No there wasn't
>>129767199Yes, but understand they are like the Beatles and have two song writers with very different styles. Roger is the high pitched one and he writes mostly pop slop granny songs, while Davies is more progressive blues.Breakfast and Crime of the Century are the albums where their two styles mesh together the best. On their other albums the contrast between them is pretty glaring and it's no wonder why they eventually broke up. You should listen to Crime of the Century and if you like that go through the rest of their work. Probably do live in Paris 1979 after. A lot of their songs took me a couple of listens until I started liking them.
>>129768203>New Weird America freakfolk>modern musicThat was more nostalgia music. Nothing really "modern" about it other than being recorded recently.
>>129769931I know, that's what I mean. I refused to listen to anything that wasn't from the Dadrock era until there was a new generation larping like they were of that era...Literally somebody saying "Devendra sounds like Marc Bolan when he sings" was what got me to finally listen to something newly released at that time. There was a brief period where MySpace bands were doing total '60s-70s worship, and specifically that weird culty sort of The Incredible String Band, freakfolk scene was a massive touchstone at the time. Devendra himself gushing about Vashti Bunyan, etc. he was an arbiter of cool ... dude was literally fucking Natalie Portman back then. It was all very appealing to me, coming out of the strict classic rock mindset.Anyways, I've lost the plot a bit here. Supertramp kicks ass, and it was such an era-specific sound to manage to successfully blend saccharine pop music with epic proggy journeys, and the cool dynamic with Davies' ballsy blues rock (amazing keyboard player) and Hodson's pop sensibilities (amazing guitar player). Honestly, not many bands I'd rather listen to. They're super fucking sick, and it's one thing I'm glad the boomers forced me to listen to.
>>129769158>he writes mostly pop slop granny songsWhy do Grannys have the best taste? Just catchy songs, no bullshit whatsoever.
>>129757514>juice and 9/11not even subtle
>>129770063Roger's best work is on Breakfast, where I will admit he has more good songs than Davies, but on the rest of their albums he's hit or miss. He's definitely not as skilled as Davies on keys but he was able to come up with really good guitar solos (Crime of the Century, Waiting So Long, etc), it's a shame he preferred to do generic acoustic strumming songs.
>>129770324>hating Two Of Us like thisAppalling, Anon, just appalling...But yeah, Davies was the better musician and severely underrated
>>129764553fuck off kike
>>129757557you're incredibly stupid. i feel like i could trick you into letting me have sex with you.
>>1297618899 11
>>129770356I think Two Of Us is fine, but the entire crisis album is what I mean by generic acoustic strumming songs. Same with the shit he did on Famous Last Words. Just look at what Rick and Roger did after they left each other. Roger did boring forgettable albums while Rick went on to make prog epics. Just listen to this:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tAnGiu2i-H0Also from what I've read Roger was just a dick in general
>>129770033you know who was very inspired by bolan… https://youtu.be/YBydZMjczEQ
>>129762627SameI love Hide In Your Shell.
