You're definitely forgetting the 60's, where truly it all began. There's a mountain of iconic bands that inspired those of the 70's and 80's. Possibly the best artists ever were hatched and rose to fame a decade earlier.
My youngest son is 1 year older than you. When he was 15 he came home telling me about Supertramp & asking if I had heard of them. I laughed & said, I bought the album when I was pregnant with you; it's in my bedroom. BONUS - he also found my Jimi Hendrix music.
This is one of my favorite groups of the 70s, this one, Goodbye Stranger, Take the Long Way Home, Breakfast in America, Bloody Well Right... there's a bunch and the lyrics are *all fantastic on top of such great music. Man that saxophone lays me flat every time.
The stank face when the sax solo made this soon to be 66-year old smile, and almost laugh out loud. There are certain bands that have that effect initially, Supertramp is definitely one of them.
The song is about indoctrination being told how you should act, live and breathe as your growing up and then one day something snaps inside of you and you question who you are and the things you were taught to be. Brilliant reaction!
Well... indoctrination...altho the buzz word right now...isn't really the point. It's more about as we are young everywhere we turn we're told how to act and be and no one thinks to teach us how to look inside ourselves to who we really are or want to be. If you feel the need to use indoctrination I guess that's your buzz word.
@@snikkerr1949 that was the buzzword back in the 80s too. Indoctrination means teaching someone to accept a set of beliefs without questioning them and then you start to question these things. Perhaps we can call it Social Indoctrination.
I'm a 66 year old white retired widower fan since I found you reacting to Ren - my favorite new artist. Glad you found Supertramp - my all time favorite band. I saw them live twice in the late 70's while serving in the US Marine Corps. Epic performances both times.
I know what you mean. This right now is making me review my life since I first heard the Logical song… Pegasus, you are so good at going deep into the meaning of the song. You are so wise. And so well intentioned as a father. That is admirable, and your daughters are lucky to have you as a caring, loving dad.
I was also in high-school and was really into progressive rock. The message/ lyrics often resonated with me. I saw these guys, Rush, Kansas and others live at the time.
An overlooked Supertramp song that never fails to make me feel good is Poor Boy. They are all classically trained musicians, great lyrics, great music.
For me, this song speaks to how we all typically follow the same path.... we all go to school, we all write the exams, we all are taught to play nice together, that we should pursue secondary education, that we will meet someone, create a family.... and live within the guidelines of this world that has been built to contain and conform, while giving the illusion of individuality and inspiration. The lead singer has been told who he is supposed to be for his entire life, and now as a young adult, he is sitting back and realizing that he doesn't even know who he is. "Please tell me who I am" Live your life, just don't live the life that your are being told to live. Create your own, and if that involves defying standards, breaking some rules, and finding your own path sometimes... you will be all the happier for it later in life.
Amen. Well said! Always been my motto. As a great-grandmother I still attend concerts with my grandkids. This usually occurs when the concert is away. Grandkids will call & i hear "road trip grandma?" I respond with when & where?... after we hang up I book a room and wait for the day. Let's just say I heard a comedian say "I'm a teenager trapped in a wrinkled package"
I've seen Supertramp twice. They are incredible in concert. All accomplished musicians who all play multiple instruments. They run around stage trading instruments and never missing a beat. React to "Dreamer" another fantastic song. They had so many hits in the 80's
Accually most of their hits are from the 70s, the only song from the 80's (1982) that I like a lot is "It's Raining Again", whereas I like most songs off of the following three albums: "Crime of the Century" (1974), "Even in the Quietest Moments" (1977), and "Breakfast in America" (1979).
As you go through your journey, there's no way you can possibly imagine the amount of talent that hit us, beginning with the Beatles and the British invasion. Literally every month, we were hit with new superstar bands and solo artists that went on for decades. Music from all kinds of genres exploded on the scene through radio, record stores, and live concerts. As a generation, we were peppered with innovation, creativity, and pure genius. The 60's through 80's was truly the golden age of music and will remain at the pinnacle as the greatest music of all time. Enjoy your journey of discovery. You've only scratched the surface.
That's exactly what i was going to say, word for word . How did you do that? Lol, Not really but thats what i was thinking. Not word for word though. That's impossible. heh heh
Rodger Hodgson is amazing. Supertramp killed it back in the day! The entire Breakfast in America album is a classic. Both their catalogue is massive. "School", "Even in the Quietest Moments", "Fool's Overture", "Gone Hollywood"...all amazing!
Roger Hodgson voice always came across clear as water. You could always hear every word and punctuation. Master. Many Great songs from Supertramp or his Solo career. Take the Long Way Home Goodbye Stranger Give a Little Bit Dreamer Bloody Well Right My favorite... Give me Love, Give me life... Don't listen to while driving. Your foot goes down on gas petal. 😊
Dive Deeper into Supertramp. One of th3 Great Super Groups of the 70's! "School, Goodbye Stranger, Dreamer, Give a Little Bit, Take the Long Way Home, It's Raining Again".
Love Supertramp! Their stuff is so creative, their instrumentation is very unique, and their lyrics can cut to the quick. My favorite song of theirs is Long Way Home (with some killer harmonica), but they have so many great songs for you to discover. Thanks for sharing this one! 🙂
The London-based progressive rock band Supertramp got their name from The Autobiography of a Super-Tramp, a 1908 novel by Welsh writer William Henry Davies.
Supertramp was the first concert I attended. They played Jarry Park in Montréal, summer of 1979. It was a gift for my 11th birthday. The experience has had an impact on the way I've appreciated music all through my life.
Supertramp's album "Crime of the Century" from 1974 was their first masterpiece album. More of a progressive sound than the more commercial "Breakfast In America". Check out the songs "School", "Hide In Your Shell", and "Dreamer". Awesome!!!
This song still hits all these years later. Don’t stop believing in the magic of life as well as being practical and think for yourself, don’t buy into the bs
The lead singer was sent off to traditional British boarding school at (I think) 12. It was a nightmare for a sensitive artist type. Actually, it can be a nightmare for most.
This is one of those songs that you hear for the first time and wonder how you went this long without having heard it before. By the time you hear it a few times though you feel like you have been enjoying listening to it your whole life.
Heh. I was eight when it hit the radio. I have literally been enjoying it all my life. And nearly 40 years later, this song still sounds fresh and relevant.
🤍Their song "Take the Long Way Home" addresses life choices, regrets and finally finding that Home is in the journey...in the heart. It is INCREDIBLE and one of their best! Give A Little Bit is another one that you would find amazing as well.
Listening to this again in my mid 50s, it just makes me wish our institutionalized education system taught children HOW to think rather than WHAT to think. I do miss the old rock that included the saxophone. Yes, it was saxy! Kids did as much air sax as air guitar. Love being GenX! 💯
This was like the best album of 1979. Its still in my top tier. They had been touring for a decade and were at the top of their game when they crafted this. Albums like this are why we listened to the whole 30-40 minutes worth all at once.
Yay!!! Can’t tell you how much this song meant to me and resonated, as a teenager in the late 70’s. One of may favourite bands of all time. Please go down the Supertramp rabbit hole. You won’t be disappointed. Also check out Roger Hodgson, the singer, who wrote and arranged this song. He’s a very humble man, with an exceptional talent.
- 5:15 - You look so shook! That is the power of this song, my dude. It can hit you right between the eyes and pierce your heart at the same moment. All of the Breakfast In America album is worth exploring...brilliant work. Supertramp is a British band. The song itself was written by the singer Roger Hodgson based on his own experience as a kid, having a carefree childhood, but then being sent to boarding school. He learned guitar and started writing songs pretty early in his teens while at boarding school. Often, his songs can be deeply personal and spiritual in their content.
my cousin died from early onset of alzheimers and this was the song her children chose to honour her. i think its about rogers childhood but there were plenty of tears all around
YAY! Supertramp! One of my favorite groups of all time! They are quite the rabbit hole and almost everything they’ve produced is amazing. The Crime of the Century album is a complete masterpiece.
This reaction is why I love Black Pegasus. I am a 63 yr old British grandmother. I feel if I saw Black Pegasus in the street I would have to go and give him such a big hug 🤗
One of the greatest full albums ever recorded; every single song is phenomenal! You've entered the Supertramp zone of rock and roll. It is a genre of rock all it's own; they killed it with dozens of hits over decades. They are in my top 10 favorite bands to listen to, especially while working and I need entertaining but calming music in the background.
One of the greatest albums ever produced titled "Breakfast in America (1979)" by British Rock group Supertramp. The logical Song done back (45) years ago. Is just one of the greatest tracks on that album. Brilliant!
This one always gets me in the same way it got you. We are taught to get rid of our innocence, our sense of fun, our creativity, our curiosity awe and child like wonder at the world in order to become an adult, "logical", "sensible". But We can be all of those and still be adult-like and responsible. Breakfast in America and Dreamer are a couple of other Supertramp classics.
Man, I did SO MUCH self work to change my ways so I could be the parent I didn’t have but always wanted and deserved to have. This song is that question, who am I really? And who do I want to be? The pondering place we all get to as we mature and begin to prioritize personal growth and development to become who we want to be. And for many of us, it’s parenthood that thrusts is into that headspace.
Went to see Roger Hodgson (the lead vocals in this song) live. I approached the stage to take a pic with my phone. He spotted me, turned to me, smiled and basically posed.
In a lot of cases when people are singing one can't tell their original accents, British, American, Scottish, Welsh etc. But here the British is audible. Fantastic band, great album.
Supertramp is one of my favorites. They are always jazzy and always make you think at least a little. The whole Breakfast in America album is a classic. The title track is also amazing!
I think of my educational experience, and how much good it actually did me to go into debt to get my degree, and I feel like Milton in "Office Space": I was told there would be success.
Still just crossing songs off of my list left and right!! Lol Love Supertramp!! Take the long way home, Goodbye stranger, Give a little bit, & Dreamer are just a few of their more popular songs!! They are definitely worth a deep dive!!
I will never forget the first time standing in the doorway of my daughter's room watching her sleep. The mix of emotions was so intense. Had her mother not been leaning against me with me leaning against the door frame Id have fallen over. The amazement love and fear all so heavy and sudden. Bless and be well.
Your kids are lucky to have you as a dad. Big time. You know you have to guide them but you have to back off enough for them to learn things on their own too.
I grew up listening to this band. My older brother was a fan.I cant think of anything from them that I dislike. Crime of the Century is my favorite album of theirs and Fools Overture my favorite song.My brother is ten years old than me, so I got to hear a lot of the late 70's and early 80's music.
The sound effect after Roger Hodgson sings "D-D-D-D-D-D-D Digiral" is the sound of being tackled from a wildly popular handheld electronic football game at the time. I played the crap out of mine, and I still have (good) flashbacks when I hear that sound lol.
This album dropped when I was in 7th grade. So many tunes like The Logical Song became a must to memorize and sing every word with your friends at parties. Man there were sooo many songs released that year that were epic. Pink Floyd The Wall included. 🙌
Bruuuuuuhhhh. One of the absolute diamonds of rock music. Take a pinch of prog, add a pound and a half of flawless orchestration and production, and apply liberally to some fantastic songwriting, and Supertramp is what comes out of the oven. Dig on "Take The Long Way Home," "Bloody Well Right," "Breakfast In America," "Cannonball," and so many more. Always one of my favorite bands on the radio in the late 70s/early 80s as a lil' Alabama white boy with a bowl cut.
@@joeday4293 are you saying I’m a bot? Do I have other superpowers that I’m unaware of??? And it’s a little early to be drunk. I may be a little high, but…🤷♀️
This song, like many others of the era (particularly several Pink Floyd songs) are about the indoctrination of children rather than the education of children via school systems. I grew up in this era, and believe me, the schools back then had "certain criteria" where they told you what to believe. Fortunately, I lived across from a public library and LOVED to read... so I didn't buy into what they were selling. I actually ended up in trouble in school because of that.
Its really great to find something and have no expectations and then be blown away by it, its a rare occurrence that pops up in my life and everyone's that always gives you a smile
Dreamer, Give a Little Bit, School, Even in the Quietest Moments, Child of Vision, Goodbye Stranger, and so many more….. Supertramp are a goldmine of superbly crafted unique songs. ❤
The entire album is brilliant - Breakfast in America
With one of the absolute greatest covers in music history.
FACT
it really is a masterwork
Still my favorite album from growing up!!
@@rebeccawolf4961 This.
Supertramp, Chicago, Queen, Steely Dan, Eagles, Fleetwood Mac, we had the best music in the 70s, 80s, and 90s.
yup! Im so grateful I had this incredible music in my youth
What about Bachmann Turner Overdrive?
@@hk45c62 YEP them too. Taking care of business ( the dirty version )
You're definitely forgetting the 60's, where truly it all began. There's a mountain of iconic bands that inspired those of the 70's and 80's. Possibly the best artists ever were hatched and rose to fame a decade earlier.

Many years ago my teen 'discovered' Pink Floyd and couldn't wait to tell me. yeah, sweet girl, Mommy knows
🗣That's so cool. Great mom.
So jealous. I raised a metal head that loved Greenday. I tried him with Hendrix and all the greats and he shut me down.
@@captainmoretokin2172The child will now experience what we saw as kids back then.
Acually, the whole album, "Breakfast in America", is a banger. Take your time.... love Supertramp.👍
love supertramp so many great songs!
This is one of my favorite groups of the 70s, this one, Goodbye Stranger, Take the Long Way Home, Breakfast in America, Bloody Well Right... there's a bunch and the lyrics are *all fantastic on top of such great music.
Man that saxophone lays me flat every time.
Would love to see him react to all of those
Love Long Way Home!
Goodbye Stranger is my favorite Supertramp song!
Baker Street is another Iconic Sax song.
The stank face when the sax solo made this soon to be 66-year old smile, and almost laugh out loud. There are certain bands that have that effect initially, Supertramp is definitely one of them.
When the guy looks like Jesus you know it's gonna rock
Best Comment of the Day
Wasn’t the lead singer with “Yes” ?
He's definitely nailed down the song.
@@Kikatebnpagan No
@@MatthewC137 ok I’ve done some homework and it was the band Rush.. it was that they both have high pitched voice. OK ! Harsh No.. stick it up your….
Still have my Breakfast vinyl. Whole album is a masterpiece ☘️🇺🇲
Ditto…

Bloody Marvelous
I don’t have an original, but I have a newer repress. I also have it on SACD. Love that whole album.
Still have mine! Love it!
Try “Give A Little Bit”. That will be the true test if you ever heard Supertramp at any point in time.
Goodbye Stranger is an absolute must.
The song is about indoctrination being told how you should act, live and breathe as your growing up and then one day something snaps inside of you and you question who you are and the things you were taught to be.
Brilliant reaction!

Very True, George Carlin got it spot on. This is more appropriate now than ever.
One of the best bands of the 70s. Simply amazing. Try "Goodbye Stranger" or "Take the Long Way Home" next
Also In The Quietest Moment is Beautiful to me
Agreed on all things said! ❤
Supertramp has a deep catalog and they are phenomenal.
We used to listen as Teens full of the typical angst.Echoed it perfectly.No one needed to speak. The song said it for us.
I'm a 66 year old white retired widower fan since I found you reacting to Ren - my favorite new artist. Glad you found Supertramp - my all time favorite band. I saw them live twice in the late 70's while serving in the US Marine Corps. Epic performances both times.
66 same o same o retired widower but Ex-Navy '75 to '86
One of the best concerts I have been to. Of course this was back in the late 70's butthe concert was awesome.
I'm 62 years old and I've been hearing this song since I was in high school, but this is the first time I've "listened" to it. Wow.
I know what you mean. This right now is making me review my life since I first heard the Logical song… Pegasus, you are so good at going deep into the meaning of the song. You are so wise.

@@ricksurratt9034 Also 62 yes it was a blast
Also 62 and very confused how you chose to never listen to one of the greatest songs and bands ever. Then you told the world about it.
An overlooked Supertramp song that never fails to make me feel good is Poor Boy. They are all classically trained musicians, great lyrics, great music.
From a criminally overlooked album. (no pun)
For me, this song speaks to how we all typically follow the same path.... we all go to school, we all write the exams, we all are taught to play nice together, that we should pursue secondary education, that we will meet someone, create a family.... and live within the guidelines of this world that has been built to contain and conform, while giving the illusion of individuality and inspiration. The lead singer has been told who he is supposed to be for his entire life, and now as a young adult, he is sitting back and realizing that he doesn't even know who he is.
"Please tell me who I am"
Live your life, just don't live the life that your are being told to live. Create your own, and if that involves defying standards, breaking some rules, and finding your own path sometimes... you will be all the happier for it later in life.
Amen. Well said! Always been my motto.

One of my favorites of all time.
Imagine using the word underrated referring to Supertramp. How does using a word wrong make you feel better?

Many Great songs from Supertramp or his Solo career.
Take the Long Way Home
Goodbye Stranger
Give a Little Bit
Dreamer
Bloody Well Right

Supertramp was always a musician’s band. Exceptionally skilled. The lyrics were a bonus.
Yes please, more Supertramp. I think you'll be pleasantly surprised with their discography.
There was such talent in the 70's
You've got to do "Long Way Home" next. Then you will be ready for "Goodbye, Stranger". Rabbit hole of variety.
Yes more Super Tramp
John Helliwell on sax, killed it.

I think of my educational experience, and how much good it actually did me to go into debt to get my degree, and I feel like Milton in "Office Space": I was told there would be success.
Definitely more Supertramp. As soon as I saw you hearing it I knew you would like it
Supertramp's....Goodbye Stranger. Raunchy lyrics, serious banger!!
bang 'er
Still just crossing songs off of my list left and right!! Lol Love Supertramp!! Take the long way home, Goodbye stranger, Give a little bit, & Dreamer are just a few of their more popular songs!! They are definitely worth a deep dive!!
I will never forget the first time standing in the doorway of my daughter's room watching her sleep. The mix of emotions was so intense. Had her mother not been leaning against me with me leaning against the door frame Id have fallen over. The amazement love and fear all so heavy and sudden. Bless and be well.
Your kids are lucky to have you as a dad. Big time. You know you have to guide them but you have to back off enough for them to learn things on their own too.
I grew up listening to this band. My older brother was a fan.I cant think of anything from them that I dislike. Crime of the Century is my favorite album of theirs and Fools Overture my favorite song.My brother is ten years old than me, so I got to hear a lot of the late 70's and early 80's music.
This is his reflection on his time at boarding school
BP absolutely agree as a parent. Thank you for your reaction ✌️🌻
The sound effect after Roger Hodgson sings "D-D-D-D-D-D-D Digiral" is the sound of being tackled from a wildly popular handheld electronic football game at the time. I played the crap out of mine, and I still have (good) flashbacks when I hear that sound lol.
This album dropped when I was in 7th grade. So many tunes like The Logical Song became a must to memorize and sing every word with your friends at parties. Man there were sooo many songs released that year that were epic. Pink Floyd The Wall included. 🙌
I’ve seen Roger Hodgson 4 times! Indoors and outdoors! He still sounds the same! Great entertainer! Enjoy! ✌🏻🇨🇦✌🏻
Bruuuuuuhhhh. One of the absolute diamonds of rock music. Take a pinch of prog, add a pound and a half of flawless orchestration and production, and apply liberally to some fantastic songwriting, and Supertramp is what comes out of the oven. Dig on "Take The Long Way Home," "Bloody Well Right," "Breakfast In America," "Cannonball," and so many more. Always one of my favorite bands on the radio in the late 70s/early 80s as a lil' Alabama white boy with a bowl cut.
Hell Yes, Let’s Go!
Brilliance in Musicianship…We had a great variety of Rock in the 80’s!
We all owned the album - Breakfast in America.
So I had to analyze this song for my 12th grade AP English class. It tuned me on to a lifelong love foe Sipertramp
My number two band after Queen and it has been that way for 50 years! Check out Dreamer next. Then follow the rabbit hole.... :)
When I listen to bands and songs like this, I am reminded of one of my all time faves....
"The Best Of Times' by Styx
Not only a logical song, but above all a very intelligent song. One of the best British bands !
Supertramp is one of my all-time favorites. I think they are the most complete band ever, so many layers to their music.
Take the Long Way Home should be next.
Supertramp is fire!
Why is Google offering to translate your comment into English for me? Go home, bot, you're drunk. 😆
@@joeday4293 are you saying I’m a bot? Do I have other superpowers that I’m unaware of??? And it’s a little early to be drunk. I may be a little high, but…🤷♀️
@@jesrush LOL - no, I was saying that some bot at Google didn't think you were speaking english. However high you may be, Google is even higher.
@@joeday4293 lmao!! 👍 I was like….omg I’m a bot? What happened?? Well have a good day hon! This is fun…and I think Google is drunk too!😆✌️
The list of top 40 Supertramp songs is huge. And most of them have become classics. Deep rabbit hole here.
This song hit the radio when I was tens years old and it REALLY opened my eyes about self reflection.
This song, like many others of the era (particularly several Pink Floyd songs) are about the indoctrination of children rather than the education of children via school systems. I grew up in this era, and believe me, the schools back then had "certain criteria" where they told you what to believe. Fortunately, I lived across from a public library and LOVED to read... so I didn't buy into what they were selling. I actually ended up in trouble in school because of that.
Soooooooo many wonderful Supertramp songsntondive into. They're all great.
Its really great to find something and have no expectations and then be blown away by it, its a rare occurrence that pops up in my life and everyone's that always gives you a smile
The music from this time period,,was so good,,, I'm 56 best times,,,,,,,
Yes more Super Tramp!
I literally wore “Breakfast in America” out I played it so many times.
One of the best albums ever!
This song is in the top five of my best of all time!
Dreamer, Give a Little Bit, School, Even in the Quietest Moments, Child of Vision, Goodbye Stranger, and so many more….. Supertramp are a goldmine of superbly crafted unique songs. ❤
