There is literally no Supertramp song I've ever heard that I didn't hate. My sister had Breakfast in America, and even when I was a Top 40 kid I hated them.

Amen brother. I worked in a record store when "Breakfast In America" came out and had to put it on the turntable periodically for customers to listen to. Just gritted my teeth and played along....ugh!Dr. Medulla wrote: ↑11 May 2021, 7:03pmThere is literally no Supertramp song I've ever heard that I didn't hate.
