Supertramp: Crime of the Century
Manage episode 343087687 series 3386364
You may remember such hits like "Take the Long Way Home", "The Logical Song", and others from their Grammy award winning 1979 album Breakfast in America. This album was recorded in September of 1974 and contained hits like "Bloody Well Right" and "Dreamer". We think it's even more important than the Grammy winner because it saves their career, which was floundering leading up to its release. When you hear the Harmonica intro on “School”, you can't help but notice its influence on the intro to "Take the Long Way Home". We highlight numerous other examples of how Crime of the Century influences later artists, as well as how they are influenced by some other bands produced by Ken Scott.
Of course, there are some hilarious moments, like during “Hide in Your Shell" and "Rudy".
Enjoy!!
