Listen "Crime Of The Century by Supertramp"
Episode Synopsis
Released in 1974, this was the album that transformed Supertramp from struggling British rockers into international stars. It was their third record, but in many ways, it felt like a debut – a complete reinvention that showcased the band's newfound confidence and artistic vision. What makes this album special isn't just its commercial success, but how it merged progressive rock complexity with irresistible pop melodies. The partnership between Roger Hodgson and Rick Davies reached its creative peak here, combining sophisticated arrangements with themes of alienation, social pressure, and mental health – topics that feel just as relevant today as they did in 1974.Featured songs:SchoolBloody Well RightHide In Your ShellAsylumIf Everyone Was ListeningDreamer
