Supertramp/YMMV

Supertramp's subjective tropes

---

• Epic Riff: Usually on electric piano. "Dreamer", "Bloody Well Right", "The Logical Song", "Goodbye Stranger".
  • "Give A Little Bit" has one on acoustic 12-string guitar.
• Germans Love David Hasselhoff: Not so successful in their native UK as in North America.
• Sampled Up: Gym Class Heroes sampled "Breakfast in America" in "Cupid's Chokehold". The quality of the sampling (actually a newly recorded cover of the first few lines by Patrick Stump) is...debatable.
• Sequel Displacement: They broke out with their third album, Crime of the Century (the first two were so unsuccesful that Davies and Hodgson fired everyone else and hired new members).
• Signature Song: "The Logical Song" or "Dreamer".
• Yoko Oh No: Roger Hodgson has cited Rick Davies' wife managing the band as one of the reasons for leaving and not participating in the reunions.
