ImThatGuyToo 0 Posted May 11, 2005 Report Share Posted May 11, 2005 I heard this song on the radio and I thought it was really cool. Is this band a one-hit-wonder or have they been hiding from me? They remind of me of ELO and Yes (for some reason). Any thoughts> Link to post Share on other sites
InsaneTim 0 Posted May 11, 2005 Report Share Posted May 11, 2005 Definitly not one-hit. Other big hits are "The Logical Song" and "Goodbye Stranger". I'm having a brainfart day so I can't think of anything else. Link to post Share on other sites

Uncle Joe 0 Posted May 11, 2005 Report Share Posted May 11, 2005 Rick Davies was the creative force behind Supertramp. My personal favorite album is Breakfast In America. Some more songs you might like are: Bloody Well Right Breakfast In America Crime Of The Century (from same titled album) Dreamer Even In The Quietest Moments (from same titled album) Fool's Overture Give A Little Bit Goodbye Stranger Oh Darling Check them out here: SUPERTRAMP Link to post Share on other sites

_Laurie_ 12 Posted May 11, 2005 Report Share Posted May 11, 2005 Breakfast In America....i agree.....great album Link to post Share on other sites
edna 9 Posted May 11, 2005 Report Share Posted May 11, 2005 I would recomend three albums: "Even in the quietest moments"- a bunch of beautifull songs. "Crisis? What crisis'". great music arrangements. "Crime of the Century", only side A. I don´t like them but I like their music. "The Logical Song" is very good too. Link to post Share on other sites
windy1 0 Posted May 11, 2005 Report Share Posted May 11, 2005 You know, I don't know anything about Supertramp, the individuals, or the band as a whole. But I like most of thier music. Link to post Share on other sites
johnnyguitar 0 Posted May 11, 2005 Report Share Posted May 11, 2005 For reasons that escape me...one of the things I remember about them is that their drummer...one Bob. C. Benburg, was Scott Gorham's (Thin Lizzie) brother -in-law.....how's that for trivia? :: Link to post Share on other sites
josef 0 Posted May 11, 2005 Report Share Posted May 11, 2005 I love SUPERTRAMP Autobiography was a good album... It had all the good hit songs... Give a little bit was a good strumming song.... YEAHHHH!! :guitar: Link to post Share on other sites
TenYearsGone 0 Posted May 11, 2005 Report Share Posted May 11, 2005 "School" is an excellent early song of theirs, don't know which album it's from though. More trivia: They had a sax player who was a baseball player from California. Link to post Share on other sites

miamisammy29 4 Posted May 18, 2005 Report Share Posted May 18, 2005 "Crime of the Century" An outstanding album!! "School" has one of the best piano solos you will ever hear anywhere. Awesome song!! Link to post Share on other sites
edna 9 Posted May 18, 2005 Report Share Posted May 18, 2005 "School" has one of the best piano solos you will ever hear anywhere. Awesome song!! Absolutelly...! I used to listen to that song twenty years ago with super headphones... Link to post Share on other sites
Kevin 3 Posted May 18, 2005 Report Share Posted May 18, 2005 "Rudy" , "Give a Little Bit" and "From Now On" just to fill out the list a little more. I'd recommend a greatest hits CD if they are new to you as the one I have "The Very Best of Supertramp" (Polygram) has nearly all the songs listed above, and is rarely out of my car's CD changer . Crank 'er up and enjoy-- you'll likely get caught speeding or be seen singing along like a freak by others , though: "Goodbye stranger, it's been nice, hope you find your, paradise..." ! :: Link to post Share on other sites
Aunt_Acid 1 Posted May 19, 2005 Report Share Posted May 19, 2005 I just heard it on the radio the other day too, ThatGuy. WCSX. I loved it. I like any band with a Wurlitzer Electric Piano. Link to post Share on other sites
big_man_pig_man 0 Posted May 20, 2005 Report Share Posted May 20, 2005 "School" has one of the best piano solos you will ever hear anywhere. Awesome song!! i'd have to disagree, it is catchy though... but i wouldn't say it's one of the best you'll hear anywhere...it ain't that good :: Link to post Share on other sites
big_man_pig_man 0 Posted May 20, 2005 Report Share Posted May 20, 2005 "School" is an excellent early song of theirs, don't know which album it's from though. it's not a very good song, really. lot's of others have done a whole lot better with the 'we don't need no education' type song. including the floyd, men at work -"Be Good Johnny"... The Logic Song is where S.T. got it right on that whole theme. Link to post Share on other sites
ImThatGuyToo 0 Posted May 21, 2005 Author Report Share Posted May 21, 2005 94.7 WSCX is one of my favorite radio stations of all time... have you heard 93.1 lately? They canned all their DJ's and installed a robot, and they play some classic rock now; that's where I heard it. Link to post Share on other sites
Aunt_Acid 1 Posted May 21, 2005 Report Share Posted May 21, 2005 Really? I hate WCSX. I just listen to it because it's the only classic rock station (that I know of). And yeah, 93.1 (or DOUG FM as they like to call themselves now) reformatted and they supposedly play everything, but usually I hear 80s pop and classic rock everytime I turn to the station. Also the DJ who does the bumps is incredibly irritating. I can't stand him. Do you listen to Nights With Alice Cooper? Link to post Share on other sites
ImThatGuyToo 0 Posted May 21, 2005 Author Report Share Posted May 21, 2005 Yeah, they have Nights with Alice Cooper on CSX, I tune in when I can. I suppose it's my favorite station simply because it's my only choice for classic rock. 106.7 is another station I switch to now and then, also 104.3 WOMC, I know it's oldies, but I heard Layla (not unplugged) on there once (!) and they play good Beatles.
