It's real funny looking back at my youth where music was concerned....I was a little influenced by my brother who was into groups like Gentle Giant, Camel, Lindisfarne, Manfred Manns Earthband, ELP, whilst I was a bit heavier with Deep Purple, Uriah Heep, UFO, AC/DC, Ten Years After, Led Zeppellin, Free, Bad Company, Stray and Budgie to name but a few. I have great memories of those times as we flip/flopped our musical tates....particular fun was our  music evenings, where we would meet up at ours or friends house with the parents out of the house and bring a few beers and our favourite albums and made all the group listen to what we wanted to play. We had great discussions and both got into prog-rock together with Pink Floyd, Genesis, Yes, Mike Oldfield......ahhhhhhhhhhh them times were the best!

I always liked Supertramp, and I was a lonely guy in my crowd with that group ; )
 
Favourite is still Crime of the Century, although Crisis, What Crisis? is a close second.

Was never into Cheap Trick in the same way I was into Deep Purple or Supertramp or Bad Company, but I had an appreciation and always felt I there was something about them I was missing from my perspective and not theirs. I bought Budokan and Dream Police and tried to rekindle the flame and bought the album Rockford. It didn't work and I still have the same unsure(ness) that I had to start with.

Afraid I'm guilty of not buying enough of their albums. Live at Budokan, Dream police and Heaven Tonight. I liked the 80's hits through the middle of the decade but never bought. Guess I forced them to sellout. Surrender is my favorite track, great to hear when you're 13. Most music is best played loud.
