A&M Crime of the Century

Amazon.co.uk After releasing two albums to less than positive critique, Crime of the Century, with the classic track "Dreamer", set Supertramp truly on the map. It also marked the beginning of a long and illustrious career for a band that originally came together through the "Musicians Wanted" section of an English newspaper. Combining the best of a myriad of musical styles, Supertramp, with its heavily keyboard-powered and sax-coloured progressive pop sound, forged a sound that few have ever come close to emulating. --Paul Clark
