Supertramp

Supertramp are a British band whose music has spanned such genres as rock, pop, progressive rock and art rock. The band released a series of top-selling albums in the 1970s and early 1980, including 1979's Breakfast in America, which would go on to be regarded as their finest work, with sales in excess of 18 million copies by 1990. The band's work is marked by the use of spiritual and philosophical lyrics and the distinctive voice of co-founder Roger Hodgson, which appeared on many of the band's hit singles. The band were also well known for their prominent use of the Wurlitzer electric piano.

Supertramp's early music included ambitious concept albums, from which were drawn a number of hits including "Goodbye Stranger", "Bloody Well Right", "The Logical Song", "Breakfast in America", "Dreamer", "Give a Little Bit", and "Take the Long Way Home". The band attained superstardom in the United States, Canada, most of Europe, South Africa, Australia and Brazil, while enjoying moderate commercial success in their native UK. Since Hodgson's departure in 1983, co-founder Rick Davies has continued to lead the band to modest success.
