Supertramp Artist Snapshot:

Supertramp married smart art rock tendencies with prog-rock touches to become international superstars in the 1970s. The band's two singer-songwriters--Roger Hodgson and Rick Davies--were distinct enough to keep things varied, with the music constantly shifting from involved instrumental passages to bright, poppy, high-harmony vocals.

Argentine edition

Though Supertramp eventually broke through in the US as radio-friendly pop-rockers, they started out in the prog-rock mode, turning out lengthy songs full of fanciful instrumental interludes. Even at their proggiest, though, they always interjected a discernible Beatlesque pop sensibility that kept them well away from the excesses often associated with prog rock. THE VERY BEST OF SUPERTRAMP offers a handy career overview of the band's stylistic evolution. "Crime of the Century" shows the group at its most expansive and conceptual, but the bulk of this collection is in fact occupied by concise, well-crafted tunes full of infectious melodies, propulsive keyboards, and the tasty interjections of John Anthony Helliwell's saxophone. By the time they'd gotten around to their 1980s hit "It's Raining Again," Supertramp had fully transformed into a straight-ahead pop group, their McCartney-like tendencies coming fully to the fore. For most former art-rockers, this might have been a woeful development, but in the case of the already-popwise Supertramp, it was a blessing, making this anthology a pleasure all the way down the line.
