| | Amazon.com: Breakfast in America: Music: Supertramp (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-20) |
 | | Why does "Breakfast In America" entrance me? Is it the lyrics, the melody, the moving background, yes, but most of all the voices that rise and fill the room with joy and the resounding emphasis on the music. |
 | | Supertramp practically *owned* 1979 with their mega-smash album from that year, "Breakfast In America." The British band had been making creative, irresistible pop/jazz/rock for nine years and five albums by this time, but "Breakfast," the sixth album, was The Big One for the group, a #1 smash on the album charts all over the world. |
 | | Though certainly not a "concept" album, the theme for "Breakfast In America" came from bandleaders Roger Hodgson and Rick Davies, who, for this album, wanted to write songs about what it was like to be a British person living in the USA, which is what the whole band were doing by this time. |
