Agree here, though Rush's 76-81 era is excellent. Every Supertramp album from Crime to Breakfast are 5 stars to me.

Actually, Faithless is a pretty good tune. They are more riff-based though, something that Supertramp isn't.

This is slighty amusing to me as when I was at school there was a chap who leant me All The Worlds A Stage and Breakfast in America around about 1979. At the time I was deeply unimpressed with either. Rush were a heavy rock band pretending to be a bit prog while Supertramp were just very dull. I did like Logical Song though but that was it. As time progressed Rush became interesting and developed. Supertramp just went backwards with tripe like 'Its Raining Again'. Now I would count Rush as one of my favourite bands while Supertramp made one great song that I still love. |

I like Crime of the Century more than any Rush album but I don't think any of their other albums, not even Breakfast in America, really approach that level, so overall, it's Rush for me, far more consistent and prolific.

Well seeing that I am a Rush fanboy, my vote obviously goes to Rush. I love Supertramp too and both Crime and Quietest Moments are 5 star albums in my opinion.

This......as I said before the importance of Rush and all that goes with them seems only now to be recognized by some, to the point where they are being compared to umm Supertramp? Sorry I don't get it......in some way it could be viewed as a compliment.
I don't care, I have been listening to Rush since about 1975-76...and for very good reasons. I have Crime and its good, the best Supertramp did......but that's it.
Rush

Supertramp has something that Rush completely lacks, a sense of melody.
Even in the Quietest Moments is one of my favorite pieces of music. |

My sentiments pretty much. Can't stomach Breakfast In America.

For me it's Supertramp. Sure, there's the proggier moments - CRIME OF THE CENTURY and QUIETEST MOMENTS. But how about BREAKFAST IN AMERICA? May not be prog, but a great pop album that didn't compromise the band's sound, and it really defined my childhood coming-of-age, like a soundtrack to my childhood.

only Supertramp I like (and like very much in this case) is Crime Of The Century. Fantastic album. Unfortunately it's the only masterpiece in Supertramp catalogue.
And Rush then, lot's of excellent albums - my vote goes to them!

I'd say Rush are the better band, but I like both bands more or less equally.

With some exceptions, I'm not especially fond of Supertramp.

Tramp by far. I think Quietest Monents is a 5-star prog album. I respect Rush but don't care much for the music.

Supertramp wins with 1 side. Since this is pretty much 2112 vs. Crime Of The Century for me.

Love Crime Of The Century and to a lesser extent Even In The Quietest Moments but for me it's only those two that i still listen to versus about 8 or so RUSH albums.I enjoy both but RUSH wins this easily.
