Free Music Notes for The Very Best of Supertramp
Free Music Review: Super.
Hit: 4 Stars
Supertramp was another one of those bands that I had no idea how many good and recognizable songs they had until I got this collection. I mean half of these songs could be on the radio at any given time. Songs you've heard your whole life, and might know the words to, but didn't know it was Supertramp. They may be hard to catagorize, but they were everywhere in the late 70's and early 80's. Included here are numerous hits, but my favorites are "The Logical Song", "Dreamer", "Give A Little Bit", and "It's Raining Again". "Take The Long Way Home" is another great one also. If you know any of these songs, you should like them all. Free Music Review: an absolute pleasure
Hit: 5 Stars
I remember growing up with SuperTramp. I woke up a year ago, thirty-nine years in age, and had to hear the "Logical Song." I bought this compilation and was blown away.
I don't generally like compilations. This is an exception. Wow! If you want to bask in the glow of the seventies, this is it. There is not one bad song on this CD. I had no idea that SuperTramp created so many phenomenal songs.
There is a beauty to their music -- a romantic, slightly philosophical approach that is so terribly lost in contemporary pop music.
The blending of songs is wonderful. I admit I've never owned an album of theirs, but this just rivals any top ten album one could buy. This doesn't stink of a compilation produced for more money in retirement years. There is an undescribable beauty to this CD.
If you appreciate seventies music, you will cherish this compilation.
Free Music Review: A Super Compilation, but...
Hit: 5 Stars
CONSUMER ALERT: A prior review by Terrence J Reardon claimed that this compilatation has the full length versions of the songs. THIS IS NOT TRUE ON ALL VERSIONS, that is there are at least TWO BEST OF's on the market. I purchase a copy from E-Shops on Amazon and received a South American printing. The tracks are the same as on the the 25th Anniversary classics edition. Goodbye Stranger still has a whole verse missing and the outro is dramaticly shorter. Same is true on Take The Long Way Home as the end fades out much too soon. All the other tracks run the same time as the albums they originally appear on. Only the US printing seems to have the full length versions. Both printings include includes School, a good track but you wouldn't miss it. If you don't have any Supertramp recordings, then you should defenitely get this (you really should have "Crime Of The Century" and "Breakfast In America" anyway as they should be heard in their entirety, truly classics). If you have the 25th A&M Anniversary copy of Supertramp Classic, then it's worth replacing. Just make sure you're getting the right version of The Very Best Of Supertramp. If the timing on "Goodbye Stranger" is under five minutes, then it's the bad one (It should run 5:40). "Cannonball" should be over 7 minutes too.Free Music Review: Music Like This Gives Me Chills At Times

While I don't really like most of the songs all that much,(In fact I can't remember their names) the several that I love give me a feeling of euphoria. This hits collection is worth its weight in gold just to have great songs like Take The Long Way Home and Give A Little Bit.(The Logical Song is cool, too) I guess what really turns me on about these kinds of songs is that they get you high. They just seem to have such a positive vibe. Driving home from work is one wild experience when you crank those tunes. I can't can't keep the speedometer under 80mph and I can't keep the volume under 120 decibels.
The sound is similar to perhaps a band like YES and if you are interested at all in that kind of 70s rocking sound then this is way more than a worthy purchase.
Free Music Review: A MYHTICAL VOICE
Hit: 4 Stars
Un album (best of) Supertramp, que je considère comme le meilleur du groupe. La voix du chanteur "Roger Hogdson" est mythique. Les mélodies sont harmonieuses, sublimes.
Absolutely Brilliant !!!
