It all makes sense now.. First time hearing Supertramp "The Logical Song" Reaction | Asia and BJ

[@DavidTateVA]

It makes me so sad that you had never heard of the genius that is Supertramp, but so happy that now you know and can jump into their amazing catalog. This is one of those bands that reactor after reactor discovers, and can't understand why they aren't better known.

[@tobyorcutt7863]

I am a hard-core rocker through and through. Led Zeppelin, AC/DC, Van Halen and ZZ Top are my favorites. However, although 1984, eliminator, Back in black and Led Zeppelin four are my favorite albums of all time, surprisingly breakfast in America is in my top 10 along with Hall & Oates as my guilty pleasure. You like what you like I guess. #SorryNotSorry🤷🏼‍♂️

Been a fan of Supertramp since the 70's. "Breakfast In America" is an amazing album!

[@dawnray8550]

One of my favorite bands of all time. And this album, seriously every song is good. I have it on vinyl. I listen to it frequently. Beautiful is an underestimation.

[@gertrudelaronge6864]

Supertramp is so under-rated. The entire "Breakfast in America" album is a treasure. Not a bad song on the album.

[@antonytheolddog8626]

💯 Right... There are some rare albums that don't have a bad song. Breakfast in America. Floyd and dark side. Fleetwood Mac rumours and to be fair tango too.. I would even go as far as songs from the big chair by tears for fears.. There's a few out there..

[@markjohnson6194]

Supertramp is one of the greats...More songs to check out: Take The Long Way Home, Breakfast in America :)

[@breckrichardson390]

Goodbye Stranger!

[@tomvenner6030]

I prefer the earlier material from Crime of the Century, Crisis what Crisis, Even in the quietest Moments albums, less commercial. But Breakfast is still a good album.

The logical song to check out for Supertramp is Goodbye Stranger.

The guy singing is Roger Hodgson who wrote the lyrics which is about his personal experience of being sent away to a boarding school as a very young boy. My personal favourites by them are Goodbye Stranger and Rudy but all their tunes are a great listen.

The singer/keyboard player Roger Hodgson has written more than one song about how the system screws kids up.

[@dagmar.6954]

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

I love all of Supertramp! It was one of my most favourite groups - started listening in middle school as a teen when they came out. Must dive in! Crime of the Century is fabulous. And their other albums too.

[@traduseuse5895]

Supertramp was the first concert I ever saw. I was 10, Jarry Park, Montréal, 1979. I remember being mesmerized by the performance. Fast forward to November 2019, Roger Hodgson is the last concert I saw before the pandemic. He still sounded just as great as the first time I heard him 40 years prior. If I had to pick, I think I would have to go with Hide In Your Shell as my favourite song,.

[@sfjessy1]

I hope you listen to the recorded version of this one as well. Thanks for the reminder, I haven’t listened to Supertramp in a while…I am heading to my Spotify playlist!

[@jeffcampbell668]

In 1974 Supertramp released an album that should easily be in 90% of 70's music lovers top ten desert island albums. It should be listened to front to back, much like most Pink Floyd and Zeppelin albums. If you don't agree with me then that might be the crime of the century. Asia and BJ, you guys are all right. I enjoy your reactions very much because you concentrate on my favorite era/period of music, 1965-1980's. Cheers from the canadian Queen nut.

[@beverlydiehl8272]

They started as progressive rock, at this point in their career and this song, it's more pop rock. With lots of extras, like the horns & whistles. Crime of the Century is a "desert island" album, one of those with no bad songs. Listen to it in order, starting with School, followed by Bloody Well Right, and the rest. (Yes, Roger really did NOT appreciate being sent away to school.)

[@beverlydiehl8272]

@@christinerobinson9372 People think of "Crime of the Century" as their first album, and it was their first BIG album, with their "classic" band lineup, but they had two prior. A self-titled one, and Indelibly Stamped. "Crime" is a perfect gem; the prior two have some good songs but are a bit uneven. I discovered them as a wee teen, when my sister & her hubs went to see Pink Floyd, and Supertramp was their opening act. I recommend listening to them the way we did, back in the day; the entire first side, a pause, then the second side. Sooo good with headphones.

[@go234ko96ts5]

Such a unique and innovative band, Their album Breakfast in America was released on March 29, 1979 and would a huge success, it topped the Billboard album charts for 6 weeks. You gotta take a listen to "Take the Long Way Home" and " Goodbye Stranger" two more great songs by Supertramp.

So excited to see your reaction but then saw it was the live version :(.

[@moonlitegram]

Not that this wasn't a good live performance. But one of the things with Supertramp, and especially that album Breakfast In America, is the production on the songs is really really good. And there's a lot of little things with this song that they didn't recreate live. In general, if you haven't heard a song before by an artist or band, you should always do the album version first. Unless most people tell you that the live version is the way to go, the studio version should really be your first listen to get a feel for the song and the band.

[@stevejoshua9536]
