Crime of the Century is hands-down my favorite Supertramp album. Also, as Sean pointed out, it's early 70s (1974), whereas QM was 1977 and BiA was 1979 "Ann, BOC has recently been out on the festival circuit -- go see them-- they were here last labor day weekend -- excellent -- 3 original members ( both vocalists) and a new drummer who is one of the best I have seen in a long time>" Eric & I saw them play Fiesta down in San Antonio back in April of 2000 - less than a month after we saw KISS. Paid about $80 or $100 each for the KISS tickets, and $9 for BOC. BOC put on a better show. I've been checking their site frequently ever since - waiting for them to come back to Austin/San Antonio area... even Houston would work for me! "yep - we codgers of 40 - 50 or so go way back when to a time when you actually had to have musical talent to sell records" A-HEM! I AM NOT IN MY 40S OR 50S!!!!!!! I'm younger than that whippersnapper Ursula, even!

Do you like good music? My answer, yes. Granted Zeppelin is way better than Steely Dan< I don't begrudge anyone their choice of music because there are no right or wrong answers -- but your example made me thin...and I am going to go out on a limb here and bet that there were no Steely Dan albums in Wicked Pickett's collection....LOL ! Doesn't make him right either though

To each generation their own choices -- but I am willing to take the quality of music from say 1966 - 1972 and stand it up against any period of time for breakthroughs , song writing, musical talent , supergroups etc. -- yes there was some crapola out then too, but the good stuff was in mass quantities and really good. of course just IMHO

Steely Dan and Zeppelin, and oooooh the Eagles! I need to step out of this thread, The flashback is just too much! A good thing.
Originally Posted By Fe Maiden <<Led Zeppelin 4 Stairway to Heaven, maybe greatest rock album ever.>> Certainly on the Mt. Rushmore of rock albums. I also place AC/DC's Back in Black on there, not my all time favorite album, but maybe as close to perfection as anyone's ever gotten.

Still a fun show, with Ted Nugent opening up, but that was their third tour in 4 years and they really outdid themselves on the two previously. The Psycho Circus tour. C'mon "3 freakin D". And the tour to end all tours, Alive Worldwide in 96-97. I don't think anyone has ever lived up to the expectations or hype as much as Kiss did on that tour.

Probably the most amazing 4 album run ever, except maybe Rubber Soul to Revolver to Sgt. Pepper to White Album. All of 'em brilliant, and they all hold up. I still remember Paul Simon winning his album of the year grammy (I guess for '75) and saying "I'd like to thank Stevie Wonder for not making an album this year." Honorable mention: Beggars Banquet to Let It Bleed to Sticky Fingers to Exile on Main Street (which would be my Stones pick for this early 70's category - better than Sticky Fingers). Notice how all those great 4 album runs ended in a double album? Weird.
