It is over.

That was a very good album, aided and abetted by excellent production and playing, and benefiting from the fact that both Roger Hodgson and Rick Davies were on form in the songwriting department at the same time. Something that wasn't often true of Supertramp albums.

Now to look back at the thread and see what everyone else made of it. Excited

It was maybe a bit too ~~white~~ polite for me. I'd have preferred something more Prog less Pop.

I don't know who any of these people are.

Supertramp had two frontmen; Roger Hodgson and Rick Davies. They both wrote, sang and played keyboards. Hodgson also played guitar.

Roger Hodgson was the one who looked like Jesus, sounded like Roddy McDowall and sang virtually all their hits.

Rick Davies was the other one, who sounded like Boz Scaggs.

They had a somewhat fractious relationship and, by the time they went in to record Breakfast in America, they were barely on speaking terms, even when they were recording together.

The last I heard, their feud is still ongoing.

Come to think of it, they both looked like Jesus. Colbert

As did the saxophonist.

Never did a band have so many members who looked like Jesus. Colbert

Rumour has it there's a dispute between Roger Hodgson and Rick Davies's wife that results in frequent Youtube removals. scared

Roger Hodgson's the one who looks like Jesus and sounds like Roddy McDowall. Rick Davies is the one who looks like Jesus and sounds like Boz Scaggs.

Nope, still don't know who any of those noises are supposed to mean.

Are they ships?

Types of cheese?

Former England managers?

I'll just remind you that really dislike Supertramp.

But not as much as Wizzard.
