Breakfast in America by Supertramp... Episode #15

In this episode of Classic Rock Album Olympics music historians Gary Wenstrup and Robert Rodriguez order up Supertramp’s Breakfast in America and select their gold, silver and bronze medal winners. Released in March 1979, it’s the album that transformed the band from a respected British art-rock group into an international pop phenomenon. Medal Winners The Logical Song (   • The Logical Song  ) ChildOf Vision (   • Child Of Vision (Remastered 2010)  ) Just Another Nervous Wreck (   • Just Another Nervous Wreck (Remastered 2010)  ) Casual Conversations (   • Casual Conversations (Remastered 2010)  ) Goodbye Stranger (   • Goodbye Stranger (Remastered 2010)  ) Take The Long Way Home (   • Supertramp - Take The Long Way Home (BEST ...  ) After years of crafting long, introspective, and sometimes progressive records, Supertramp entered the late 1970s looking to refine their sound into something more immediate, melodic, and accessible. The result was Breakfast in America, a bright, hook-filled collection recorded with precision and ambition. By the time they began work on the album, Supertramp—Rick Davies, Roger Hodgson, John Helliwell, Dougie Thomson, and Bob Siebenberg—were operating at the height of their collective chemistry. The band had built a strong following through albums like Crime of the Century (1974) and Even in the Quietest Moments (1977), known for lush production, wry lyrics, and the attractive blend of Hodgson’s soaring voice and Davies’ grounded, blues-tinged delivery. With this album, the band sharpened those strengths into a concise, pop-leaning direction, crafting songs that were both meticulously arranged and instantly memorable. Four singles were released from Breakfast in America and three went Top 20 – The Logical Song #6, Take The Long Way Home #10 and Goodbye Stranger #15. Breakfast in America became a commercial powerhouse, topping the U.S. Billboard 200 for six weeks and eventually selling more than 20 million copies worldwide, making it one of the biggest-selling albums of 1979. Critics praised its polish, craftsmanship, and sharp songwriting. The album earned two Grammy Awards, including Best Recording Package (what a cover!) and Best Engineered Album (Non-Classical). Today, Breakfast in America stands as Supertramp’s signature achievement: a quintessential late-’70s album that captures the tension between dreams and reality, success and disillusionment, wrapped in pop craftsmanship.
