Wow, that will be difficult
1- The whole of the Crime Of The Century album (which means that my #2 would be #9)
2- Fools Overture (Moments)
3- Surely:It's a Long Road (debut)
4- Quietest Moments
5- Better Days (Brother)
6- No In Between (Brother)
7- Brother where you bound
8- another man's women (crisis)
9- Try again (debut)
10- Nothing To Show (debut
11- Child Of Vision (Breakfast)
12- Babaji (moments)
13- Ain't Nobody but me (Crisis)
14- Cannonball (brother)
15- Aries (Stamped)
Crime was my first album bought with my hard-earned cash as a newspaperboy and seduced me with that concept that seemed to be written prcisely for me.
Brought some pop into prog, but they were the epitome of an art rock (US sense, which meant prog rock) band with Argent ------------- let's just stay above the moral melee prefer the sink to the gutter keep our sand-castle virtues content to be a doer as well as a thinker, prefer lifting our pen rather than un-sheath our sword |

| what about the incredible underrated song Wating So Long from Famous Last Words, such a hidden em, great arrangment, agressive, heavy guitar, Morricone escue, tango rythem, leyers upon leyers, and epic segment with Roger Hodgsons greatest guitar solo moment (epic) |

Well if you saw from my list, I selected nopne from FLW, and there is a perfect reason for it:: I don't like it at all; only two tracks are acceptable (IMHO), and they're the last two: Waiting So Long and Don't Leave Me Now ------------- let's just stay above the moral melee prefer the sink to the gutter keep our sand-castle virtues content to be a doer as well as a thinker, prefer lifting our pen rather than un-sheath our sword |

Yup it's good too. so are From Now On and Loverboy on that Moments album >>> Actually thinking about it Moments is quite a Davies album.
But....
For me Asylum and Rudy are better and a good deal of Brother top that track too ------------- let's just stay above the moral melee prefer the sink to the gutter keep our sand-castle virtues content to be a doer as well as a thinker, prefer lifting our pen rather than un-sheath our sword |

my topp 5 song are as follows
1. Crime of the Century
2. Soapbox Opera
3. From Now On
4. the Shadow Song
5. Surely part 2
5 things I like about them
1. their sence of writing melodies
2. their abilaty to be both simplistic but if they wanted they were abel to be dramatic and grandious, yet also make ethereal qualities
3. diversity in mood between songs, eclectisisme, their combination of jazz, folk, blues, beatelesque, symphonic elements during the scope of an album
4. by being more then addaptive to utilise, and experiments with dynamic within sound and to fully take advantedge of climaxes during their songarrangement
5. unorthodox song structures, lyrics are often storyline, albums could be operas and be set on stage
whats ther importance in music and art rock, well thei are one of the orginaters of Crossover prog, thei were partly in the shapings and wrote some of the "rules" for accesable prog (together with the Moodys and the Harums)

Ok, 5 things for both of your questions: 1. The debut album reminds me a lot of King Crimson  .2. In the classic line up 1974-83 all musicians were technically perfect, no weak points. 3. In my favourite era 1974-79 all songs are very densely composed down to the last detail. Not only referring to dynamic and rhythmic change and construction, but also every single note/sound of every instrument seems to be important and fitting into the composition, no superfluous jamming around. 4. Genuine mixture of classic, rock, pop, jazz and blues. (4a. After Colosseum and Van der Graaf Generator Supertramp finally established saxophone in rock music.) 5. The live recordings of that time proved, that they were capable to play their songs on stage as perfectly as on their studio albums. (Some call it lack of improvisation, I call it perfection.) |

I've tried but I still don't get the appeal. I used to like Dreamer and Give a Little Bit on the radio, so those two are my list. ------------- http://www.last.fm/user/Snow_Dog" rel="nofollow">

1.- 5 Songs
2.- What makes Superttramp great: The music, what else? 3.- Contribution to Prog: I honestly don't believe they made great contributions to Prog, simply because they never were Prog (IMO of course), except making more popular the genre, being that many people see them as Prog.

In chronological order....it'd take too much deliberation to put them in order: Words UnspokenLong Road
Surely
Aries
School
Asylum
Sister Moonshine
Soapbox Opera
From Now On
Fool's Overture
Take the Long Way Home
Really wish Hodgson would've stuck with the band and worked out his Eye of the Storm stuff with the band....the Davies' jazzy influence and Roger's voice and ideas worked like chips and vinegar.

I would add Try Again to any list.....in fact, I'd put the whole first album on the list over almost anything in the catalog. I've broken out my 40 year old cassette copy and recommend it highly to any who doesn't already dig this gem. ------------- I like to feel the suspense when you're certain you know I am there..... |
