School. And I'm not even a big fan of the harmonica as an instrument, but I love how this one opens the song. And that little scream that announces the more driving part of the song. And that great piano break. There's a ton of great musical ideas in this one tune.

 

Bloody Well Right and Asylum are also great.

Oof, I’ll have to listen again. Every song is killer. School, BWR, Rudy, and the title track all jump out.

Nice. Every song is killer.

 

Extra bonus points for mentioning Rudy. Kind of a sleeper but a great tune

 

Edit- school is my pick!

I don't care much for this Supertramp album...

My favorite is Supertramp In Paris.

 

I like their music a lot, but I knew well the wife of their producer so I'm a bit turned off to them Kind of like the Eagles - good music but the musicians as human beings leave a lot to be desired.

I get that. Artists in general seem to be more problematic than the avg human. And the avg human is no picnic!

I read a few months ago the bio of David Geffen. I gained renewed respect for most of these band members. Really, they are treated as chattel by the powers that be. They are modern day slave drivers always pushing the bands to tour, do another album, make sure it's a hit, then tour some more - over and over - until they cease being a source of lots of $$$$$, at which point they are dropped immediately and pushed aside.

 

That's no excuse for band members' bad behavior, but it helps understands them better.

Agree with everything you said. School was my pick but the whole album is excellent. Rudy is very under talked about (appreciated?).
