Wish the "Rick phase" (1984-2002) was more generally known. Lack of publicity and little critical acceptance due to not being like "Breakfast" in sound. And more importantly, the abstinence of post-1997 albums on streaming platforms such as "Some Things Never Change" and "Slow Motion", which are excellent albums with the classic Supertramp sound. That makes people get stuck on "Free as a Bird" as their "last album" thinking that Supertramp "died" without returning to their traditional sound.

органически не выношу пафосный попс, здесь же его столько, что хватит на целую группу куин с группой юрайа хип в придачу - правда, в отличие от вышеупомянутых, с хитами у чуваков как-то не задалось. в целом, дебютник довольно ровный и не лишен своеобразной стилевости, все остальное мне категорически не нравится, конформное какое-то, на грани аора.

For some reason a lot of people started to hear Supertramp from 2018 - Present times... and it's perfect.

Breakfast in America is okay and Fool's Overture is a great track, but Crime of the Century definitively is where it's at. A lot of people are missing out with that album

While it's rather funny to hear Roger Hodgson in particular reach Barry Gibb-esque vocal highs, this band was still really good at the progressive pop game.

Rick Davies is a genius, an amazing composer, vocalist and keyboardist. Some of the smartest and best-produced Supertramp music was written by him. Just compare "Crime of the Century" (Davies) to "It's Raining Again" (Hodgson) : A true music gem with a ton of substance, vs. a very popular catchy pop tune, -just to state one case. Going back, Rick founded Supertramp and invited Roger to join. It is ludicrous and childish of Roger to dedicate (even to this day) a full page on his website to state which songs are his and which were written by Rick. Does he even care a bit about Rick's illness?... Roger's music is great with or without Supertramp. But he's always been so insecure about his part in the band. So much so that he always has to advertise himself as "the voice of Supertramp". Didn't Rick sing half of the songs? Grow up Roger, and "Give A Little Bit", as you say. You made a fortune and still make your money thanks to the relationship with your musical partner, Mr. Rick Davies.

Personally always preferred the Davies-penned songs compared to the Hodgson ones, really glad I'm not alone in that thought. The Davies/Hodgson pieces are undoubtedly amazing though - they're a perfect blend of Davies' darker style of writing and Hodgson's more optimistic style of writing; when it works, it works REALLY well. They were a hell of a songwriting team that totally stacks up to Lennon/Mccartney and Page/Plant imo.
