United Kingdom (1969 – 1983)

Supertramp was a British progressive rock and pop band that had a series of top-selling albums in the 1970s.

The band was formed in the United Kingdom in 1969. Co-founder, composer and lead singer, Roger Hodgson left the band in 1983 to bring up his children. In 1988, Supertramp re-formed with some former members plus several new ones, and remained active until 2002. All the band members were musicians capable of playing multiple types of instruments including brass and woodwinds.

Music in their early period consisted of ambitious concept albums, but they are best known for their pop songs including “Dreamer”, “Give A Little Bit”,” Goodbye Stranger”, and “The Logical Song”. The band’s name was taken from W.H. Davies’ 1908 novel The Autobiography of a Super-Tramp.

Their albums Crime Of The Century (1974) and Even In The Quietest Moments (1977) were both produced by former Beatles producer Ken Scott. Their 1979 album Breakfast In America reached number one on the Billboard album charts (number three in the UK) and was certified Platinum four times by the RIAA.

    Fool's Overture really sends me off the edge too, in a beautiful way of course. Oh, what have we done to the world? I had the pleasure of seeing Roger in 2010. One of the best nights of my life.

    Supertramp, my love. I seem to have a pattern - every time I wake up in the middle of the night, I either play the albums Breakfast in America, Crime of the Century or Crises? What Crises? then find myself getting rather emotional and the feeling of utter loneliness kicks in but the strange thing also, is I don't feel alone when their magic flows through my mind and soul. In the stillness of the night, looking through the clear panel on my ceiling, viewing the twinkle of the perfectly aligned stars, the eeriness, the quietness (other than the music) and the pounding of my heart as the tempo speeds up breaking into an explosion... it is then I realise I can fall back on them any time, they are very familiar to me and my feelings... they're my home.

    Chatinha, mas há umas boas músicas que poderiam ser melhores assim como a letra de The Logical Song. Se eu fosse recomendar uma música seria School.

    I love how their songs change and develop. It's like if there's several songs in just one! Love it! Makes it so intresting. Crime of the century is so epic.
