Played it to death in my teens, I used to have everything by them, only ones I still have are Paris & Even In The Quietest Moments. I streamed COTC the other day and realized I still love it. I'm starting to replace albums I had in my youth that I only had on tape or LP. Rainbow - Rising, Scorpions - Lovedrive & Animal Magnetism were the first three. I need to make sure they still work for me before I buy.Originally Posted by Steve F.

I blame Wynton, what was the question?

Hard to imagine Rainbow Rising ever falling out of favour, no matter how old you get and how your tastes may have changed.

Crime and Quietest Moments are two of my favorite Supertramp albums. My dad really liked them back in the day, and he bought Crime for me on CD about fifteen years ago as a gift because I didn't have anything by them. Now I've got most of their stuff (well, all of their 70s work, and then Brother Where You Bound).
When Hodgson and Davies were working together and the band was firing on all cylinders, they were really something else.

I like everything up to Breakfast In America & then Brother Where You Bound. I'd list them as
COTC
EITQM
CWC
BWYB

Famous Last Words was a dreadful jump off a cliff album for me.

Your list pretty much matches mine -- although I might swap Breakfast in America with BWYB. Both very good records though, IMO.
Famous Last Words was pretty disappointing... The only song I remember from it is "It's Raining Again", which isn't bad but kinda generic. It felt like the band was just going through the motions, unfortunately.
Roger Hodgson's first solo album In the Eye of the Storm was surprisingly good I thought.

Yeah, I got into post rock while missing a lot of early influential bands. They also happened to put a bunch up on bandcamp so here I am.

Not a fan of Famous Last Words either, but you really gotta love the closing songs Waiting So Long and Don't Leave Me Now, which have all the Supertramp-qualities from the past:
It's also a bloody awful album cover.

Magma - Köhnzert Zünd has arrived yesterday. I think I need more Magma.
One of the few bands where I cant get enough...
I figured that out from your screenname.
Glad you're enjoying it. Other than the Köhnzert Zünd box, what other Magma do you have?
Nothing, I'm trying to make some kind of wishlist on which albums to buy next.
Zühn Wöhl Ünsai-Live 1974 - € 15.91
Kobaia - € 22,49
Udu Wudu - € 22.14
M.D.K. - € 20.71
Zess - € 21.80
Slag Tanz - € 11.30
Kohntarkosz - € 21,13
Wurda Itah - € 18.01
Oh, wow! I didn't realize that was your first Magma acquisition. Nice.
If you dont have them, I would include K.A., Ëmëhntëhtt-Ré and especially Félicité Thösz !
All 3 are IMO more interesting and longlasting than Slag Tanz & Zess (theyr are good too, but...)
It is basicly also what does Amazon Germany offer and what are the prices. I often tend to start with the cheapest albums and working my way up.
How did you like the VG/FX/SU album?
