They got lots and lots of air play. Very popular, in a Steely Dan sort of way. They did their own thing and it was good! It's 2022 and I'm still listening. 😎✌
I was like 14 when my mom said here listen to this, and she handed me Crime of the Century and Breakfast in America on vinyl. Wow! It was true love that 40 years later has only gotten better. Thanks mom!
I first heard this song in January of 1975 while in the U.S. Navy onboard the USS FRANKLIN D. ROOSEVELT, an Aircraft Carrier. This black boy, who by the way is a musician and songwriter, back then had never heard super beautiful rock music like this. One of my Shipmates, Petty Officer McWhorter, was studying me one evening when this song was playing on the shipboard radio, and I know he couldn't believe a black boy was mesmerized by this type of music. He came over and asked me, "do you like that?" And I told him yeah. He would also turn me on to Electric Light Orchestra (ELO), and other groups that I love to this day. I was 18 years old when I first heard this song and I am now 66 and still love rock and roll and especially songs like this. I love all types of music except hip hop (ha ha, LOL).
Love your story & musical taste! Btw, my bros served on destroyer Richard L Page in '75 - not as impressive as your ship (!) but had to mention after reading your amazing comment here. 🎵🇺🇸
@@nahuelnahue9545 it dosent surprise me you like this music without the gospel music given to us all by the black slaves we would not have it for that i will always be grateful as should all us white people bless you brother
Beautiful story ! I´m a belgium guy of 31 and i like this music beceaus of my dad , He always let me lisen to it in the car and bring me a good taste of music , Also like billy joel, Even once as a kid he take me to a concert of genesis I am him for ever thankful for that ! Thanks for sharing your story !
Funny you say that I bought this record when it came out and thought the same thing clean and tight with deep bass and wide dynamic range I needed no adjustments from my system it's that good . You're right
I always chuckle a bit when I hear or read the "high quality for the time" line! Sorry, but analogue recording, when done correctly, is still the best you will get. The only time you can find better quality is if an analogue master gets manipulated digitally - straight to digital recordings do not capture all of the harmonics that get captured on tape.
I tear up when I hear this song. Brings me back to HS/college days decades ago. The children laughing and yelling and the piano interlude are beautiful
Funny: i heard this song for the 1st time while driving to greece with my family in our camper (summer holiday in Germany). I was 8 or 9 years old. Late evening, lights of a city in the distance. And this song...
Love you now and forever ❤My first band since J was 14 years old...Today J am Nearly 64 years..And still Love your awesome Music and Lyricks. Love Marie 🥰
Classic tune, they were such a great band, used to listen to this a lot in College when we used to play whole album sides on kick ass stereos. I always loved the piano part in this song from 3:16 on. They just don't make songs like this anymore, nothing is even close.
Best Rock 'n Album of all time! At parties back in the day, we would play both sides and everybody loved it! Not one person ever complained! Not a weak song or a filler on it!
Wow! I've never found this album on YT before! This was my first ever live gig... They were supported by Mike Oldfield doing Tubular Bells!!!!! Absolutely epic night when I was about 15!
Happy Birthday Roger Hodgson born on March 21, 1950. He is an English musician, singer and songwriter, best known as the former co-frontman and founding member of progressive rock band Supertramp. After releasing two solo albums in 1984 and 1987, Roger Hodgson took a break from his music career to spend time with his children as they were growing up. He returned to touring in 1997, and released a third solo album in 2000. - en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Roger_Hodgson
When this album came out for the first time , I heard it at a friend´s house who had a room with cork on the walls and a beastly professional sound system...I remember I had never heard anything like it, the music was mind blowing but the quality of the recording for a vinyl record was out of this galaxy...
I was 8 y.o. when my uncles lend me the cassette in 1991. Never stopped listening this band every month since then... So 384 months listening best group ever.
Back in the 70s my friend's dad had a kick ass Pioneer Technics stereo and speakers. He had four speakers and they were set up in each corner of the room facing the center. The scream was crazy loud but the acoustics in that song sounded so great on that Technics turntable, stereo and speakers.
One of their best albums besides breakfast in America, loved supertramp since I was a teenager, still love their music to this day. School is one of my favorite songs.
An era when the few produced rock compositions that told the story using every artist from musician to album covers to ultimate concert and you 'd never leave the same.
The first time i heard School was in school. Photography class. We turned it up so we could hear the last "blood curdling" scream of the little girl b4 the whole band kicked in. They dont make great music like this much anymore. Once in a while someone will...
Ouvi pela primeira vez um CD do Supertramp com 20 anos de idade e aqui estou eu com 42 ainda ouvindo estas maravilhosas canções, School é minha favorita
This album sounds today as if it was recorded YESTERDAY !!!! It's incredible to think that it sounds even more new and fresh than "Famous last words", released 10 years after !!
You can hear how good they are from the fact that there’s about five songs in this track that 99% of bands would have made into full songs. Incredible band.
Best audio quality of this track on YT. Thank you. The intro alone is spectacular. Hodgson & Davies at their very best (and the entire band, of course). I know that Breakfast in America was their monster album ~ and rightly so ~ but Crime Of The Century seems like their finest collaboration. The composition here is mind blowing. The build up to 3:16 is so perfect. That's recess & everyone's out for a spell. Then it's back to class & the final "You're coming along."
Esta canción, me trajo muchos problemas psicológicos cuando tenía 12 años. Cada vez que la escuchaba se iba la luz. Hasta q hasta el año la logré escuchar entera. Que pasada!
I just can't get enough of the piano solo, truly magnificent.
it is pretty good isn't it
fr
One of the best songs ever. I'm 68 and been listening to it since the army in the seventies
The most underated band of 1970's , but then again there was so much good music back then .
What other bands are similar to supertramps?
@@aarondonally8153 try Camel, King Crimson, the Genesis and maybe The Yes. Just don't expect the same exact sound.
They got lots and lots of air play. Very popular, in a Steely Dan sort of way. They did their own thing and it was good! It's 2022 and I'm still listening. 😎✌
@@thevideocommenter3061 I know you're name is THE Video Commenter but... You don't need to put a "The" in front of Genesis or Yes lol
@@brunobailly7013 The thanks.
This true class leaves everthing behind these day. Nobody comes anywhere near this classic
All of my neighbors listen to alot of Supertramp....since I moved in.
Just trying to get on your good side. Shame they can't spell tho'.
I wish I were your neighbor ... Our neighbors will hear it double lmao
@@POWMAJ We could make the neighbors down the street wet the bed...lmao
Yeah my neighbors also listen to some awesome music, weather they want it or not 😅
The Best Recorded Album Ever !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Even after almost half a century, I still love this song like the first day!
I still use it to test sound systems!
Underrated? Okay.
In fact it was the crime of the century 😊
Even in the quietest moments I love this song.
This is a hidden master piece. I have goose bumps, when the drums come. Reminds me of a train leaving the station... 03:15 - 04:17
I'm 60 years old and I've always loved this song.
✌💀👍
Merci ❤
Absolutely the greatest band in my life. So many memories over the years. Watched them live in London and Paris, ❤❤
School ... a classic fantastic song! 🤗🎶🎶
I was like 14 when my mom said here listen to this, and she handed me Crime of the Century and Breakfast in America on vinyl. Wow! It was true love that 40 years later has only gotten better. Thanks mom!
Cool mom.
What a cool mom! 👌
1 of the best mom in the world
Your mom has good taste.
Your mom is 👍

I am him for ever thankful for that ! Thanks for sharing your story !
I was 18, and the Supertramp LPs were my gate to a parallel world of joy, love and imagination. That was half a century back. Dear God!
Me too
Oh 💩has it been that long ago???
Mon groupe des années 70 et 80 ,j'aime Supertramp,, merci au groupe
This whole album crime of the century is absolutely fantastic
That was way before O J Simpson!!!
A quintessential mid-1970s song. Great recording, and instrumentation.
no words to describe this musical masterpiece....thank you mom for having brought Supertramp to my life!!!
Kudos to Your mom
This one goes out to the one I love
This was one of the best recordings of all time. The fidelity was just incredible for the time.
Funny you say that I bought this record when it came out and thought the same thing clean and tight with deep bass and wide dynamic range I needed no adjustments from my system it's that good . You're right
Hell, it is still incredible 47 years later! i still use it for speaker testing!
@@juniorjohnson9509 Ha! Me too, along with New Order's Blue Monday
I always chuckle a bit when I hear or read the "high quality for the time" line! Sorry, but analogue recording, when done correctly, is still the best you will get. The only time you can find better quality is if an analogue master gets manipulated digitally - straight to digital recordings do not capture all of the harmonics that get captured on tape.
We had McIntosh and Bose components in a stereo shoppe where I worked in '79, early 1980 and you can bet this got presented.
Supertramp, the best band ever! Extraordinary melodies, outstanding harmonies, brilliant texts! Always striking!!
Always in my personal top 20 albums list since 1974
Top 5 for me 👍
My youth with Fantastic Supertramp
This is one of the most underrated songs of all time
True👍✨
Even in the Quietest Moments tops this as most underrated IMO
Absolutely agree
Bloody right about that
Hairs on my neck standing up. Haven’t heard this in decades. This album was important to me. ❤
Reminds me of my misspent youth 👍👍👍👍
Still is, to me!
I heard this for the first time today in a pub and all the hairs on my body stood up
Happy 50th anniversary! What a song!
4 days away from 2023 and still loving it.... Masterpiece.
Supertramp is standard for the quality of music of the 70's
I’m 72 , I love Supertramp
I tear up when I hear this song. Brings me back to HS/college days decades ago. The children laughing and yelling and the piano interlude are beautiful
Same here. I would say misspent youth but it wasn't.
Best ever!
My beloved band when I was in my teens.
Couldn't stay a day without listening.
Reminds me of those good days.
This could be the best song in the world!! The build up of this song right through plays in a genius class of its own
They were the perfect prog rock in the 70's. This and quietest moments were their best work. Nothing but great songs on both albums.
I found your right.
Bloody well right.
@@chrissett4245 That makes just the two of us!
@@davidcopson5800 Make that three))
And pink floyd right?
Driving on the autobahn listening to supertramp back in the day....good times great memories
Awesome band they where
Funny: i heard this song for the 1st time while driving to greece with my family in our camper (summer holiday in Germany). I was 8 or 9 years old. Late evening, lights of a city in the distance. And this song...
Excellent studio work. Seven.
Love you now and forever ❤My first band since J was 14 years old...Today J am Nearly 64 years..And still Love your awesome Music and Lyricks. Love Marie 🥰
Simply one of the most emotive and underrated songs ever. Thanks for posting
Stop now with the underrated nonsense
@@norwegianzound your comment is highly underrated.
When I was growing up in the ‘70s EVERYBODY knew this song and this album.
"Underrated" LOL
Music from my youth. So glad I grew up in the 60's/70's
Classic tune, they were such a great band, used to listen to this a lot in College when we used to play whole album sides on kick ass stereos. I always loved the piano part in this song from 3:16 on. They just don't make songs like this anymore, nothing is even close.
I learnt the piano because of this track over 40 yrs ago..
I love it even more in the Paris live record. Dunno why but ot makes me feel all the emotions at once :D
My favorite piano in rock!
EDSON MEDSON SONGS IN RUclips
I learned a lot of their music, inluding the intro to bloody well right, this back in 1979, not too many people had figured it out then
Ain't it amazing, how music can transport us back to certain spots in our lifes like immediately, incl. all the feelings backthen....
This will always be one of my favourite songs. So beautiful.
Total Classic.. Supertramps best Album and School has to be up there with the Classics!!
I adore Supertramp, since I was a teenager... What beautiful tunes!🥰
Best Rock 'n Album of all time! At parties back in the day, we would play both sides and everybody loved it! Not one person ever complained! Not a weak song or a filler on it!

I am also born on March 21st. We are very bright stars born on the equinox. Huge souls of light energy conquering the dark long nights of winter
Best record of the 70's without any doubt!
The best song ever of supertramp,i would never forget the moment thath i hereared this for the first time.❤️❤️
That beginning tears me up, blues at its finest
Está wea me tocó el alma la primera vez que lo escuché saludos de Chile,
This album was a master piece.

Cuando la escuché por primera vez con 16 años me partió la cabeza!!Era hermosísima y extraña a la vez ,una obra de arte!!
How could you EVER have come-up with music this GOOD*!!!???
Il y a des chansons comme ça qui traverse le temps et inégalable , la perfection des musiciens et les voix , i love supertramp .
Sonically pure indulgence, brilliant bass playing and drums
Absolutely brilliant piece of music 🎼
My favourite band since I first listened to their songs. And still is.
So do I
I was 8 y.o. when my uncles lend me the cassette in 1991. Never stopped listening this band every month since then... So 384 months listening best group ever.
the 60's and 70's were best times for rock n roll.
supertramp forever and ever best of music.....
Simply Wonderful ❣️❣️❣️

I am a Big Supertramp fan since school years... We used to play this song late at night around camp fire. Fond memories of the past.
Pure quality
por dios que placer poder escuchar este TEMON
Pues en España poca gente conoce Supertramp, no entiendo porqué!
Sisisis
One of the greatest bands EVER!
des bons musiciens brillants en marge du star système totalement….🎸🎸🎹🎹🎹 incontournable. même en 2023. ☀️☀️🇲🇨
One of their best albums besides breakfast in America, loved supertramp since I was a teenager, still love their music to this day.
School is one of my favorite songs.
Much better than Breakfast in America, tho I liked that too.
Me too
*MASTERPIECE*
Wondeful song, one of the best ones ever.
Crime of the century, is that the band isn't still cranking out EPIC TUNES !
Too much infighting & clashing egos.
An era when the few produced rock compositions that told the story using every artist from musician to album covers to ultimate concert and you 'd never leave the same.
The first live band I saw. Unforgettable
They were before there time ❤
Their best song imo...I was in 8th grade when this banger came out.💯👍👏
The first time i heard School was in school. Photography class. We turned it up so we could hear the last "blood curdling" scream of the little girl b4 the whole band kicked in. They dont make great music like this much anymore. Once in a while someone will...

🙌Incontestablement dans mon top 10 des musiques que j'aime. Tout, y compris les accélérations, y est superbe. L'album : un sans fautes
SUPERTRAMP...VI ASCOLTO DA PIU DI 50 ANNI.. WONDERFUL...FOREVER.....CIAO.
You can hear how good they are from the fact that there’s about five songs in this track that 99% of bands would have made into full songs. Incredible band.
im barely 20 and i still love this song
Crime of the Century was definitely an album rather than a collection of songs....
Brings back memories...waow....
Love Supertramp! These guys were so damn tight as musicians!
Dreamer in the Jear 1974. An epic Song, timless, special Supertramp Sound.
one of my favorit ...Great lyricks and song ❤
I have always thought that this is one of thier very best songs.🎉✌🎉

J'avais 17 ans quand ce titre est sorti et que je l'ai écouté pour la première fois, aujourd'hui 50 ans plus tard le plaisir, l'émotion sont intactes
Adoro este album...
Such a master peace all the old school’s songs !
Ein Lied aus meiner Jugend ❤ einfach grandios
My favorite band of all time
Those were such good times...and WE KNEW IT! ❤❤❤
one of the best great intro
im only 28. But i remember listening to this album on vinyl on repeat. My mom still has it somewhere lol I need to steal it from her.
Magnifique le piano
Oh god yessss, what a superb band. If I said they were incredible, it would be an under statement.
awesome sound you have put here ... thank you man , babe whoever you are , a real tribute to an awesome band !!!!!!!!!!!!!
yes dude your right i am 60 but still play this music almost daily what an damm good music
Listen to Masta Killa from Wu Tang Clan. His version of "School" produced by Rza reflects this classic 🎉
