    Supertramp songs are always whimsical, wise. I've yet to find a Supertramp song that hasn't moved me in some way. Big reason why they sit in my top five favourite bands of all time.

    Excellent, Brandon - my favorite album, I thought you had heard the whole thing before. I look forward to the others. I know you’re really into Genesis, Yes, Rush, etc, probably as much as I enjoy Supertramp.
    For a cool Supertramp song that has a bit of a different sound, check out “Cannonball”!

      No, I kind of skipped around in my ST journey. Just 2 more left to complete this album. I adore this band and they are a serious contender for a more regular slot on my channel once Pink Floyd Fridays ends. Added your vote for Cannonball, thanks my friend...

    Roger Hodgson had a knack for expressing angst. Musically, well crafted, as per usual with Supertramp, musicianship/production(yes a saw, a harmonium too)are off the charts, very theatrical too.
    The live version from Paris is a must, Roger really sang his butt off. Roger has live versions as a solo artist that are worth a listen( one with an orchestra). The song has an extra energy live
    Hide In Your Shell, one of eight masterpiece songs from Supertramp's masterpiece album of masterpiece albums, Crime Of The Century

    Hi Brandon. Glad you came back to Supertramp. The whole album "Cryme of the Century" got such a special sound, treatment, creativity, you can't simply go wrong listening to it a first time then over and over. This song from Roger is another gem from his repertoire, the wurlitzer piano combined to his unique emotional voice makes probably the core of it, then the progression and the orchestral as backing vocals arrangement is finally so wise and so "logical" to the coda. It's unique in many ways. You had to come here, Brandon, it is essential art and music for the world - you can feel the peace!

    Probably my favourite Supertramp song. The background to my high school life in the 70s, this album was spun endlessly and I wore the cassette tape out. As an awkward, wallflower teen this was a song of healing and hope. But we can lose track of the great songs of our youth as adulthood sets in and ‘the new music’ replaces it. Forty years on, I recently rediscovered this song in a big way. I was seeking some musical therapy with a message of hope & support for someone dear to me. This song jumped out and hit me in the heart - “remember me” it said. “I’m the song”. And then within days, you post it. I have chills. Thanks Brandon.

    Always different, they're very close to my favourites. Unusual ending when the accompaniment comes back in and the 'walking away' sax drifting into the distance. Still pleading for Spock's Beard... 'The Light' was a debut album 1995 'The Water' (side two) is an excellent suite although about 25mins. You checked out a Strawbs medley... The 'Ghosts' album medley I think is better, and there are several others of real progressive quality on there waiting for you. You'll be surprised... I was amazed!

    • @retroreactions....

    • @grahamharley4895
      @grahamharley4895 10 місяців тому +1

      Brandon... without hesitation, Strawbs 'Life Auction' off the Ghosts album! Same year as Bohemian Rhapsody but years ahead of its time. 'Ghosts medley' would also be a good one for the site but more straightforward. Asking to pick one from 'Spocks' is a low blow. So many different genres you can't discriminate. For your own consumption, set aside some of your valuable time and 'watch' the complete 'Snow live' on YT or the 'Water' suite off 'The Light' (1995) that I mentioned. Some surprises in there!

  • @sagitt1856
    @sagitt1856 10 місяців тому +4

    Richard Davies and Roger Hodgson, not only musicians of the highest caliber, but lyricists of exceptional intelligence. To take just three examples, the lyrics of "Hide In Your Shell", "Even In The Quietest Moments" and "Fool's Overture" are heartbreaking, upsetting, disturbing... and the voices, the music (and this plaintive intervention from the sax, as with PINK FLOYD) which are not there to console us but, on the contrary, to strangle our throats, to capsize our hearts even more. SUPERTRAMP, magnificently touching! Thank you.

  • @rpmfla
    @rpmfla 10 місяців тому +4

    I feel like many Prog "snobs" don't include Supertramp in the pantheon of great progressive bands. While I'd place them a notch below ELP, Jethro Tull, Pink Floyd, Yes, Genesis, and King Crimson, their best is as good as anything from those bands.
    This is my least favorite song from side one of Crime of the Century, but that isn't because it is bad, just that the songs surrounding it are amazing.
    Thanks for the listen.

    Spot-on about the call-and-response. In my mind that's a trademark for them. You hear that more in Supertramp than any other band in my experience. Sometimes they are actually asking questions and answering them, such as in "Child of Vision" and "Just a Normal Day". This would be my favorite band if not for the Beatles. It was my favorite in high school, and it was my daughter's favorite band (she's 25 years younger than me) when she was in high school (I raised her right). They're just so frippin' good, even in their quietest moments.
