Maybe a little underrated as a band, these are three songs on this album that strike me.

One of my all time favorite bands. When I was stationed at CFB Cold Lake there were two albums that we played non stop. Crime of the Century and Night at the Opera.

Fools Overture is an awesome song that’s actually 3 separate movements welded together. My favorite is the live version with the Melbourne Symphony.

I really liked "Brother Where You Bound" and saw the tour with David Gilmour on lead guitar.

A favorite is- The 16-minute exposition on Cold War themes highlighted by guitar solos from Pink Floyd's David Gilmour.

Big fan for years.

But i skipped the last, less known albums.
Also enjoyed the first album that sounds, to me, like early Genesis.

I saw them in 1986 in Würzburg, West Germany while I was in the military. We went to a gasthaus for a beer before the show and most the band was doing the same at a table near us.

They put on a great show including tunes from their new album Criminal Tango and plenty of older favorites. Concerts in Germany were the best.

^^^^^ Manfred Mann’s Earth Band.

Saw Supertramp live in Antwerpen in ‘86. Later released “Paris” from that tour.
They peaked and capsized IMO.
The show was both perfect and incredibly boring. No soul, just studio musicians. Almost left halfway.

Didn’t care for the albums that followed.

I remember my senior year in high school and their Breakfast in America album was huge, so much so, I did not need to buy it since half the songs were in heavy rotation on FM radio. But decades later I did buy it, along with Crime of the Century, and started to really appreciate the band. In high school, I did own Even in the Quietest Moments, though I did not listen to it too much since my musical tastes later changed to punk rock/new wave. But this song was the reason why I bought the album.

Interesting analysis. Maybe I should be concerned.
