You're still scratching the surface with these guys........they won't let you down. The real Crime of the Century is that they aren't in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame.

One of eight masterpiece songs from their masterpice album. Still fresh, still interesting, 49(!)years later

[@reverts3031]

That entire album "Crime Of The Century" is worth listening to. Each song tells a different part of a story. What that story is can only be determined by the listener.

[@metaphoria3]

They underrated even tho they’re famous

[@williamdemerchant7295]

I love the drums rolls together with the piano, and then the piano solo explosion. Imo Crime of the Century was (by far) Supertramp's best album.

[@kawhi2019]

That harmonica solo in the beginning gets me every time. It sounds like you're listening to 9 different songs in one, it's amazing how the transitions just surprise you over and over again. I first heard this track off that awesome Kristy McNichol movie "Little Darlings" and ever since it's stuck to me and introduced me to one of the best bands that I've ever heard in Supertramp. Super amazing!

[@jaquestraw1]

I wore out more than a few copies of this on vinyl. I think I first heard this in '75, hooked ever since.

[@dancarter482]

I called the police to complain about you - and they arrested _ME_ !

[@ruthtoner3936]

They would start their concerts with this song

[@rayeckert242]

I saw them open with “Hide In Your Shell” on two different tours. Any tune they choose works for me.

[@beabullfrankthetank5023]

Here's the thing about Supertamp, and about their 3rd album, Crime of the Century. You guys giving your reaction to their music, it's the same as mine when I first heard them back in 1973. They are DOPE. Some history: Back then there were high end stereo/audio stores. If you were a serious audiophile, these places were the only place you shopped for audio equipment. Each place had sound proof listening rooms where the store rep could activate exactly the turn table you wanted to hear, the speakers, amps, tuners, EQ's, ....everything by hitting switches. You could being in your own albums to play to hear the sound system you wanted to buy. If you didn't bring your own albums in, EVERY STORE had a selection of the best produced most technically perfect albums you could borrow in order to hear the equipment you were thinking of buying at its finest sound. These albums were the finest examples of sound perfection. The albums these stores always had in hand: Pink Floyd - Dark Side of the Moon Steely Dan - Aja Supertramp - Crime of the Century

[@jeffcampbell668]

To not have this in your top 10 desert island albums would be the crime of the century.

[@chazblitz]

I would remind everyone that there were two perfectly good albums that came before this. Nobody reacts to them, Nobody cares. But there ia gold to be mined in both those disc's. Do yourselves a favor a give em a shot.

[@tobinharris8107]

My favorite Supertramp LP; “Hide in Your Shell” is another spectacular track. I would have never made the Daft Punk connection…that’s what makes these inter-generational reactions so fun! 👍

[@IAMCAVE]

The “Live in Paris” version was the first time I heard this song and is my favorite one.

[@christopherhuot2826]

You guys should definitely do a review on Child of vision great song from their breakfast in America album😊

[@happymethehappyone8300]

Another legendary classic,, Vanilla Fudge "You Keep Me Hangin' On"...If you know,, you know!!

[@stevegirardmedia2255]

So glad you guys are enjoying what guys my age call, "our music". I mean it's been nearly 50 years since they became one of my fave bands of all time! Damn. But I've been blessed to be able to pull this out and listen to CotC all of these years. I always said if Elton John and Pink Floyd had a baby (even though they were contemporaries w/Supertramp) it would be Supertramp. They're serious, but take wild flights of fancy... they're fun, but with great chops. Just a pure joy to listen to Crisis What Crisis, CotC (this album), Breakfast in America, Even in the Quietest Moments ( 😍) Best to you guys, as always!

Without trying to compare both bands but when I was a kid in 1975, Crime of the Century was almost on par with Dark Side of the Moon. Different bands. But what I grew up on. Thanks to my older brother Dave who introduced me to both .

[@robjohnson5872]

You guys are producers - little wonder you've been hooked by Supertramp. Load all their music and hit random play - you just won't be fast forwarding. Even if your not a fan of the song, you'll appreciate the angle they're taking on it. Amongst the songs you may want to consider is one from I believe their last album - CANNONBALL" - great bumpin base and some outstanding sax, xylophone, and upbeat tempo. Keep up the good work guys !

[@Brian-tb1zs]

Guys, listen to Supertramp song Even in the quietest Moments, think you’ll enjoy it. The fact you listen so closely and appreciate this band speaks volumes to your musical experience and intelligence Love you guys ! 👍

[@wheezyfrog820]

supertramp is one of my fav's

[@craigmarkowski7156]

I can only speak from my experience with growing up as a teenage boy in the 70s here in the Midwest , I gotta tell you most teenage boys snickered at Supertramp ! They were not hard rock like Zeppelin , Pink Floyd , Rush , I loved them , Every time I had Supertramp tickets I had a hard time finding someone to go with me !? But now as adults all my buddies from back then love Supertramp now ! I honestly believe maturity played a big part in that !? Not only did I love their sound because my mother played the piano and my father played the sax , But as a teenager there lyrics spoke to me like you wouldn't believe ! I have Supertramp tattoos , Every time Roger Hodgson comes to Saint Louis I'm there front and center !

[@stevedahlberg8680]

The middle section of that song actually reminds me of Green-Eyed Lady by Sugarloaf. It's a total jam and I bet you guys would love it if you have not already done it. Crime of the Century by Supertramp is also a masterpiece in my view.

[@ptrlxc]

Their sound production has always been top tier, not just on their albums, but they were the few band who cared enough to do top notch sound production during their concerts. Other bands that came to mind that was top notch was Yes and The Moody Blues, Pink Floyd, Robert Plant: they are cared about their music, and were fussy with their sound production.

[@melvinwomack3717]

A&M Records was an amazing record label.if you think Supertramp sounds good you should check out Gino vannelli Gist of the Gemini 🤯

Supertramp had a pop side and a more progressive rock sound that you just heard. As you are hearing they were pretty damn good at both. Give a listen to "Crime of the Century" next. Title track from the classic album of the same name. 👍

[@benshafer5198]

Great reaction! Although they were huge during their time, especially around the release of Breakfast in America, I've always felt that they were underrated in retrospect and historically. However, they've been getting a lot of love from you reactors and justifiably so! This was my favorite LP from them, but BIA has soooo many great tracks as well. Masters of dynamics (the build ups and drops) and love their use of a full range of instruments (ie. clarinet, etc.) 🔥

[@vinceaaron8921]

under rated? they were big since indelibly stamped and were huge when crime of the century came out. 1980 was a bad year since both breakfast from supertramp and duke from genesis came out and a big slice of my prog youth had disappeared.

[@69fogdog]

Absolutely loved your reaction! I have been waiting for you guys to get to "School". This was the first song I ever saw them play live and I was hooked and turned so many people onto this band. The first time I saw them in concert was on this tour and they came out and played this album start to finish in order. That was the show, and the crowd was in awe. Hopefully you do all of this album and then the Crisis What Crisis album before you jump into their other albums. Enjoy the journey gentlemen because it will be a hell of a ride!

This definitely qualifies as a magnum opus track. I’ve always loved this song. And best live performance I ever saw was for my graduation present at 18 years old at the 3000 seat Memorial Auditorium in Burlington, VT. First stage show I ever saw with a projected movie screen in the background. And they sounded just awesome, just like their sound from the studio track. Hands down best concert I’ve ever seen!

[@MotorcycleImaging]

Thank you gentleman for listening, and learning and loving the music of my generation. This music will never die. I will bet that the likes of Kanye or Beiber will last as long as the the classic rock of the 70's.

[@jacklund9366]

I was wondering when you guys were going to get around to this one. To see what great musicians these guys are, you should check out "School, Live Paris 79"

[@sigil5772]

One of their absolute best: as ever, the arrangement and production is impeccable, but this stands out for me because the Rick-Roger synergy is spot-on (where it's sometimes unequal), and I always like it when Roger plays electric, which he too seldom does. The following track Bloody Well Right is sort of a companion piece, and really needs to be listened to in tandem with.

[@Linda-y9h]

Love you two! I had huge speakers when this came out. My neighbors were not amused, but they knew who the best bands of the 70's were! 😊❤

Love this track. Back in the 70s every medium to high end stereo shop had this LP in the listening room. Nothing like hearing it blasted by a Pioneer SX-1280 through a huge set of Cerwin Vega speakers.

[@retromom5421]

I own this one! I was tired of Supertramp not getting enough airplay of their songs prior to Breakfast in America so I coughed up the money to play Crime of the Century all the time.

[@473mec]

There are countless bands that had a signature sound and don't sound like other bands. Supertramp was not ahead of its time. They were perfectly placed within their time. Granted, they were exceptional at their craft. I'd also argue that no part of this song could be made today because most modern music is either entirely computerized or massaged by one so severely that it cannot sound real. Supertramp, like their contemporaries, were real musicians.

[@markrod59]

I've been watching many reaction videos and love you guys,..keep up the good work, and spread the good vibes,...

I love it that y'all love it. And not just Supertramp's music, but others that you react to also. It's the genuine appreciation you guys feel for some of this classic music. Back in the 70s I got introduced to Supertramp music by this hot new girl that came to our high school. She told me they were her favorite band and I lied and told her they were mine too 😆 The only song I knew was Dreamer ,which I did like a little bit. I got a date with her so I bought Crime of the Century and Breakfast In America, which had just came out, on 8track to try to impress her. And it worked 😉 Been a huge fan of Supertramp ever since.
