This was the first time I ever heard a clarinet on a rock song. Well, I actually heard it on "Take the Long Way Home" first, but I didn't know that was a clarinet at the time.

[@DavetheAvatar]

This is my favourite Supertramp song and I am so glad you enjoyed it. Their lead singer Roger Hodgson said no one gets this song like the British but I think it has a universal appeal. The whole song plays up idea of someone unsatisfied with life and striving for the American Dream without really understanding the culture. One obvious line, he wants kippers for breakfast because that's fancy to him but a low class meal in Texas. It's about reaching for fame and celebrity without really knowing what that means. It's a joke but an earnest one.

[@David-qi1ys]

For Chicago, "Beginnings" is a must. The wall of horns, the drum solo, it's just *chef's kiss*.

[@w9gb]

The beauty of “Beginnings” is the 12-string guitar opening by Terry Kath. The song was truly an intro of the group …

And to answer Amber's other question: Sampling and covers are legal as long as the original artist is credited and paid any royalties due. The only time there are lawsuits is when the credit and payments are not done (usually because the newer artist denies that it was a sample or cover).

[@stevenklyce3555]

Not a bad song on the entire LP. This took the US by storm when it was initially released and won many, many deserving accolades and awards. Take the Long Way Home has been my personal theme song ever since. Late one night Child of Vision came slowly on the radio, the first time I had heard it. I still feel goosebumps every time, just like the first.

[@w9gb]

Also won Awards for Album cover art.

[@walterrepass3957]

Horns & woodwinds. That clarinet was fantastic. Supertramp was a fun house of music. Amber is on point. 😊

[@donaldfinigan8778]

For people who knew Supertramp before the release of Breakfast in America, the album is considered in many ways as their attempt to really break into the American market and as such, it is a far more watered-down and commercial album than their previous 3, Crime of the Century, Crisis? What Crisis? and Even in the Quietest Moments. The latter of those 3 had been their previous peak, barely breaking top 20 on the album charts in the US, despite being top ten in Canada and throughout Europe. That being said, the Breakfast in America album has stood the test of time and did sound, and still sounds, different than much of the top 40 music of the time and given that it did achieve its intended goal of reaching no 1 in the US, one has to respect that. I'm not a huge fan of the album as, to me, it pales in comparison to Crime of the Century and Even in the Quietest Moments, but I can understand how people do like it and how it can serve as a gateway into their earlier work. School/Bloody Well Right, Hide in Your Shell, Rudy, Give A Little Bit, Fool's Overture, Even in the Quietest Moments - you don't know Supertramp if you don't know these songs.

[@KWayne6756]

[@robc5955]

I agree breakfast in America got me hooked as a kid, because that’s all you heard, but their other albums are incredible.

[@antmo1966]

it is true - and I have always thought this... but listening to them again, I am amazed at the level of production, the layering and usage of instruments is off the charts, even compared to Crime Of The Century. Each track is so cleverly built. But I will take Crime Of The Century over Breakfast In America every time, mainly for the strength of every track on the album. Breakfast has a couple of weak tracks for my tastes and relies upon Take the long way home, Gone Hollywood, Goodbye Stranger, Breakfast In America and Logical Song (which is a high hit rate compared to any other album, just not compared to Crime Of the century, where every track is superb)

[@blanewilliams5960]

I agree. I saw them live on their "Crime" and "Quietest Moments" tours. I get a lot of enjoyment from this album as it is very good but I absolutely love the previous 2 and "Crisis" was also very good.

For Chicago, take a listen to their song "Wishing You Were Here," which is not only beautiful but interesting because it almost seems to use the dreamy, complex harmonies from the Beach Boys they way they'd normally use their horns.
