A teenager in the 70’s was the best!!!!! Musically it was the best. The 80’s weren’t bad but they 70’s was awesome!!!!! Keep on keeping on Harri. Austin Tx is digging it!!!!🤣🎸😍🥳😎
I was born in '61 so a child of the 60s, teen of the 70s and hit the 80s at 20. The best of all of it. Music was everywhere in our home, always. I continued this with my daughter and she has an excellent, eclectic taste. Teach your children well and they will love you. Loved Supertramp. Great album. Good choice Harri. x Your East End Friend (Upton Park).
Love Supertramp! Crime Of The Century was a huge #1 album here in Canada in 1974.🇨🇦 Crisis What Crisis Top 5 here, Even In The Quietest Moments another #1 album here and Breakfast in America a #1 album here and in the USA as Well. Saw Supertramp live in 1974 and 1979. FANTASTIC Live! One of my Favourite groups of the 70s ♥️🎼🎵🎶🇨🇦🇨🇦
@@HarriBestReactions certainly not 😊, flares, platform shoes, cheesecloth shirts, crikey, I can remember having to play hockey in my platforms at school cos I'd forgot my pumps
the 70's were great. High School. Football games. My GTO. And the band. Was a drummer and played with some friends and eventually we left the garage and played professionally for a while. What we call classic rock now. Back then it was just simple rock.
My favorite group (after the Beatles). So much great music. I suggest "Goodbye Stranger". It has so many different sound textures and a killer guitar outro.
Breakfast in America was one of the best albums of 1979. Much of the punk movement hated the production sheen and artistry on display here, so Supertramp never quite got the push they needed. Here it is, 40 years later and the music still sounds fresh. Not TOO deep of a rabbithole here, but still a lot of good reactions to be mined. Thanks for doing a great job!
Great review Harri. This song, Breakfast In America, was written by Roger Hodgson, who was 1/2 of the Supertramp writing duo. Roger writes songs from his heart and people across the world can relate to his beautiful lyrics. The thing about Roger Hodgson is he still tours the world AND sounds as great as ever with his current band. If he should come to a city near you, go see him. Roger's concerts are 2 hours of incredible, magical music that will take you back to a fantastic era in music.
Harri, I've always loved this song, especially the quirky lyrics about the girlfriend! The Supertramp rabbit hole is deep! So many wonderful tracks to check - all of these are essential listening: Crime Of The Century, Fools Overture, School, Asylum, Rudy, Hide In Your Shell, The Logical Song, Give A Little Bit, Babaji, If Everyone Was Listening, Take The Long Way Home, Cannonball, From Now On.... that's for starters (but the first six are absolutely necessary - and in that order!) Great reaction - Cheers!
You needed to be born in the sixties - like me! LOL When this came out, I was twelve and had a SHIT TON of stuff going on in my life. The Logical Song hit me like a sledge hammer. Finally there was evidence that I wasn't alone in the way I felt. If I was going to stuck on a deserted island, I'd want The Logical Song and Dirty Laundry with me.
I think you're slowly entering the rabbit hole, Elo, Supertramp, no bands that weren't so spectacular, but made super nice songs, and my heart rises when I hear these songs again, what are we in the discos and parties, skipped over that were the heirs of the beatles, just make a catchy tune, where you can still sing along decades later. the music scene today sometimes almost makes me cry, I get it through my children, it's somehow soulless
LOVE this group! Thanks Harri 💕 Blessed to be a child of the 70s... grew up listening to songs like these right alongside Simon and Garfunkel 'Coming to America'...such variety... never realized how blessed I was musically. Still waiting for someone to rediscover the magic that was Liberace. He never failed to mesmerize me. Never have seen anything close to him. As a performer.
I was born in the mid 60s. I grew up as a kid while all of the 70s music was going on and it was fascinating and beautiful. When I became a musician in the late 70s at 13, I always regretted that I had come along a tad too late, because I wanted to be on the music scene in somewhere like a 1973 playing this stuff in real time. That arc from 1967-1979 is the greatest period of Rock, Soul, Jazz Fusion, and Country ever. You can have the 80s. I'll take that diverse, and fertile period of the late 60s through 70s because the technology finally caught up to the musicians, and it sounded organic and pure. You still had the ability to pick out personalities of musicians by how they played, and everything was still based in some sort of Blues which is the foundation of western music. That's why we still remember everything 50 years later. Keep on with the journey my friend. Enjoy your channel. I have suggestions but they will just get cluttered up with the rest, so I'll sit back and watch. Peace. Also with this song, it's very cool that it feels like Greek Hasapiko traditional.
Nice Lp Supertramp was able to mix earlier rock harmony with new sounds. They had a sense of humor, bouncy tunes, and a good lead vocalist. Thanks for the post!
Ive been a fan since the 70`s and saw them in 1983 , You should cheak our Rodger Hodgson`s solo works they are fantastic He also still tours , sometimes intimate tours , someting with a full band and other times with full orchestra , he still sounds the same .
Hi Harri. Riding along with you here is great. It takes me back to my early teen years back in thee late 60's and early 70's.So much fantastic music back then. I am so glad to see and hear you discovering something new every day.
I was 12 in 1976 and just getting into the great artists from the 60s and 70s . Great time to grow up musically but there's one problem about it I don't like ..... I'm 57 now 😂 .
I was a teenager in the 1970’s and there were so many great songs that even today once in a while I listen to music from that era that I missed! Simple Minds was from the ‘80’s!
One of the biggest selling English bands of the '70s! If you continue down their rabbit hole you'll soon see why. Check out "The logical Song" or "Dreamer" next.
It’s adorable how you find these “hidden gems”. It was just our music...but it was a wonderful, magical time, wasn’t it! 68 and still rocking out! 🙏✝️❤️ Blessed Easter!
Great! In 1985 I was on an open air with Supertramp, Chris de Burgh and Joe Cocker. It was the 'farewell tour' of Supertramp and we thought it would be the last time we could have seen them. But after that year Supertramp had every year a farewell concert as it seems until today. :-D
It's so funny, I never realized the name of the song either. I am very familiar with it too. Odd. You are thinking about "The Breakfast Club" movie, I was thinking you were going with the song "Breakfast At Tiffany's" from Deep Blue Something or the movie, same name lol
Harri, I love your channel and reactions! This song is brilliant as are all the songs on this album. Keep up the outstanding job and keep um coming. Very best wishes from America, Texas actually and no we don't have kippers for breakfast. 😂😂
HarriBest, if you get excited by amazing groups you've never heard of, check out Three Dog Night's "Black and White" or "Never Been to Spain." In the 1970s, they were nearly as huge as any band.
You need to check out the live version of this and many others from the 1979 live from Paris Blu Ray, every song is way better than the studio versions, Rodger hodgson the guy who sings this song breakfast in America is a great guitar player and keyboard player which he demonstrates in the live from Paris 1979 version
"Simple Minds" 'Don't You Forget About Me' Theme for 80's culture favorite "Breakfast Club" Hope that helps! You may just want to react to that. This Entire Album is Stellar! 🎧😎
This album and Crime of the Century are great! Supertramp is usually categorized as part of the “prog rock” genre....but to me that category is almost a catch-all for groups that cannot be easily defined. I mean. ELP, King Crimson, Yes....most definitely prog rock....much of Rush and Genesis as well. But Supertramp? Jethro Tull? I Don’t know. I do know that I like them though! 😁
The whole album is gold. The Logical Song, Goodbye Stranger, Take the Long Way Home... those are essential.
👍 yes! These three for sure.
YES!!
School
Give A Little Bit ...
A teenager in the 70’s was the best!!!!! Musically it was the best. The 80’s weren’t bad but they 70’s was awesome!!!!! Keep on keeping on Harri. Austin Tx is digging it!!!!🤣🎸😍🥳😎
yes , the music from the 70s and 80s was really great 😎👍
Totally agree, 70's
@@yvetteadshead4212 I was a youngster in the 70's, but remember them all from my mom playing them. The 80's were the best!!
I was born in 1980 but my favourite music eras are the 60s and the 70s. Pure Gold!

70's for me, we had everything music wise, Rock, pop, soul, R n B, reggae, disco, motown, fantastic musicians
Dont forget the fashion😀

It's raining it's pouring, the old man is snoring. 🌧 ☔

1979 was the year of that album, I believe. "Dreamer," "Bloody Well Right," and "Give a Little Bit" are three bangers, from earlier on, by Supertramp.

Great album and Crimes of the Century also a banger!
Supertramp's Crisis what Crisis is a great album .

I remember buying the cassette of the album back in the day when you had tape cassette players in the car, great times.

To be fair, Supertramp had two great vocalists, Roger Hodgson and Rick Davies but I hear what you're saying. One of the finest bands ever!
Ive been a fan since the 70`s and saw them in 1983 , You should cheak our Rodger Hodgson`s solo works they are fantastic
He also still tours , sometimes intimate tours , someting with a full band and other times with full orchestra , he still sounds the same .
So many great bands, Supertramp being one of the many. You have your work cut out for you my friend!
That whole album is great
Older siblings pass the music down well
😎👍 next one from Supertramp ---> Logical song ... School ... Give a little bit ... Lord is it mine ... Take the long way home .. 😎👍

Try the Logical Song I think it is called by Supeetramp. Another weird title for a good sing Harri

There was a Sunday comic called 'Hazel' that the cover played off with the waitress.

Love that clarinet. I love it even more than a sax. (Don't shoot me) "Hide In Your Shell" is an amazing song by them. I'm 100% sure you will love it

Hahahah.Love me some Texan grub!
Please go back and review songs from their 'Crime of the Century 'album!
Yes! Their best outing. Not a bad track on it. Of course he will want to do School and Bloody Well Right (preferrably as a unit) but don't miss Rudy.
HarriBest, if you get excited by amazing groups you've never heard of, check out Three Dog Night's "Black and White" or "Never Been to Spain." In the 1970s, they were nearly as huge as any band.
From Crime of The Century: Bloody Well Right, Dreamer
GOODBYE STRANGER is a great song if you haven't heard many of their songs!👍♥️
Give a Little bit is a great song with a more logical title from Supertramp than the Logical Song
Been a sub for a while and you are just coming back as a suggestion. I will make sure to check your status. You are certainly a great guy💯💯
Maybe you've heard it in the 90s/00s, someone either did a cover, or they used the music and the guy sounded similar. Posted the link below.
Other's suggestions are good, but I prefer "Bloody Well Right" for its opening.
You need to check out the live version of this and many others from the 1979 live from Paris Blu Ray, every song is way better than the studio versions, Rodger hodgson the guy who sings this song breakfast in America is a great guitar player and keyboard player which he demonstrates in the live from Paris 1979 version
"Simple Minds" 'Don't You Forget About Me' Theme for 80's culture favorite "Breakfast Club" Hope that helps! You may just want to react to that. This Entire Album is Stellar! 🎧😎

Did you mean ELO or therr really is a band called ELP?
@@HarriBestReactions ELP is Emerson,Lake and Palmer.
One thing I noticed Brother Harri is that the volume of your vids is a bit low. Small bit of criticism for such an excellent channel.
Ok..ill look into that 😀
Dear Harri, please ract to "The Logical song", you'll love it
Done already.Wil load it in a day or two 🙂
@@HarriBestReactions thanks
Was the movie called The Breakfast Club?
Yes Lucette! Thats the one i was thinking of 😀😀
if you were a teenager in the 70s you could retire now
😀
This song is ok, but far from their best. Check out the classics like " Bloody well Right" Or "School"
what year were you born? you look like you are in your early 50s..
