Question Supertramp?

What do people think to them? I saw an avert for their anthology last night and it seemed pretty good.

Worth a listen?

Saw them in the Royal Albert Hall a few years ago and they were superb.

One of the original supergroups were Supertramp.

Great band from my college days.

Though John Peel (I think) once described them as having the mid-Atlantic sound which would sound so much better if they remained mid-Atlantic...

Paris is one of the best albums ever, IMHO.

Dreamer ............ Classic

If you find you like them then take a look at Reo Speedwagon too ....

The Eagles are still superb with that Genre ....

Dont't forget Fleetwood Mac!!

All quality

The fact that you have had ten replies so far is significant; not my cuppa though.

One Man's religion is another's mythology; a similar aspect applies to your choice of music.
