CRIME OF THE CENTURY

On this wonderful album Supertramp proved that they were a progressive rock band. OK, their sound is far more accesible than YES, ELP or Gentle Giant but most of the compositions has many flowing and captivating shifting moods, featuring great pianoplay, strong vocals and sensitive electric guitar. Another strong point is their distinctive sound, so original, melodic and harmonic, this band deserves a place on the Prog Archives site just like early Queen because both bands scouted the borders between pop and progressive in a very unique way.
