I used to listen to these guys a lot, and now after a while I've started to again. Man was I missing out, because now I can appreciate them even more than before. You don't hear songs like School and Bloody Well Right, often :worship: Anyone else like these guys?
 
Yeah, I only have their kind of hard to find debut album. But, I'm familiar with a bit of their 70's stuff. Very clever songwriting!
 
I liked them to some degree, someone had an album way back that got occasional play at the parties but I only remember the songs the radio is still beating into the ground which were otherwise good songs. I guess they are more of a reminder of my first few after school years, then appealing to my musical quests. twas far better than the disco & punk scene that was prevelent around the same time. I think Tramp plays well with Steeley Dan, different but compatible.
 
Roger Hodgson has co-wrote a few songs with Trevor Rabin (Yes) in the past.
 
Breakfast in America is a great album! Their use of horns in the compositions are great on that album. I haven't really bothered to look into any other releases though.
 
Breakfast in America is one of my "10 albums you'd take to a deserted island if you could only take 10" list. Definitely not metal, but exquisite songwriting, arrangements and lyrics on the whole thing.

Good to see hard rock/metal fans also appreciate good music in other genres.
