A great LP released in 1979 - the younger generation here probably won't be familiar with this, but hopefully the thirtysomethings will remember it!
Gone Hollywood - A-
The Logical Song - B (was an A++ during its prime)
Goodbye Stranger - B+
Breakfast In America - C
Oh Darling A
Take The Long Way Home - C+
Lord Is It Mine - A+
Just Another Nervous Wreck - A
Casual Conversations - B
Child Of Vision - D+ (would have been better without that longdong piano solo at the end!)
What do you think?

Never heard anything by Supertramp other than their big hits (bad me!)... so I'm limited to:
The Logical Song - A
Goodbye Stranger - A-
Take The Long Way Home - B-
Expanding to include their other chart hits:
Bloody Well Right - D
Give A Little Bit - C- (I think that sweater commercial really killed it for me)
Dreamer (live) - A
It's Raining Again - B
My Kind Of Lady - C
Cannonball - C-

I just wanted to say I'm glad to see this topic. I really like a lot of Supertramp songs. The three hits off this album are far and away my favorite songs by them.

It was a GAP commercial from a few years ago... I think they were all wearing sweaters, but maybe that was another ad for them (GAP ads all annoy me). |

Oh, so "Give A Little Bit" by Supertramp was being played over the commercial?
