"This article or section does not adequately cite its references or sources" --- what a silly, silly pedantic comment. This is a great and useful article, which someone generously took their time to write. It's an article about a ROCK BAND, not brain surgery. It is really silly and pedantic to call for sources for such an article. [[User:81.149.36.207|81.149.36.207]] 13:09, 9 March 2007 (UTC) |

Supertramp broke the boundaries on Progressive Rock, along with bands like Pink Floyd. There are few other bands that, even today, recieve constant radio play of more than one song. 'Take The Long Way Home,' 'Good-Bye Starnger,' 'The Logical Song,' 'Dreamer,' 'Give A Little Bit,' and 'Bloody Well Right' are but a few brilliant songs that are still heard on the air today. Davies, Hodgson, Halliwell, Siebenberg and Thompson are brilliant musicians with an exceptionally outstanding catalogue writen by Davies and Hodgson. Simply brilliant band!! |

::Not like really breaking boundaries, both supertramp and pink floyd are like the pop side of progressive rock more than anything. |
|||
:::This band reminds me of Pink Floyd combined with the Beatles for some reason. Give A Little Bit is so Beatlesque that it isnt even funny (in a good way though), meanwhile School sounds like a Pink Floyd song in the beggining and then starts to be more Beatles/60s like nearer the end. --[[User:Insertwackynamehere|insertwackynamehere]] 00:27, 31 October 2006 (UTC) |

I removed this from the Trivia section. The critic is not notable and the comment is so strong as to be more of diatribe than anything else. It does not seem like trivia: |

* Australian rock journalist and critic [[Toby Creswell]] named them as "probably the worst rock and roll group" in his 2005 compendium ''[[1001 songs]]''. --[[User:Rbanzai|Anon Y. Mouse]] 23:40, 31 May 2006 (UTC) |

== The Very Best of Supertramp == |

Why is [http://www.amazon.com/Very-Best-Supertramp/dp/B000007492 this] album not in the lists? I got it, so it's definitely for real. --[[User:80.63.213.182|80.63.213.182]] 14:08, 19 January 2007 (UTC) |

== Take the short way home == |
|||
Edited "take the short way home" to read the correct title of song, take the LONG way home. |
|||
== Discography == |
|||
The Discography links Crime of the Centuary to a disambiguation page rather than the actual album page. I can't figure out how to fix that [[User:216.208.84.121|216.208.84.121]] 17:32, 3 April 2007 (UTC) |

== Capital Radio == |
|||
A bit of ''original research'' from me, so I haven't put it in the main article - but Supertramp were broken in the UK by Capital Radio. They recorded Crime of the Century in Euston Studios, in the same building where Capital Radio were based. The then fledgling Capital Radio played Dreamer pretty remorselessly before its release, Nicky Horne being the main promoter if I recall correctly. Capital Radio also pushed the boundaries of UK radio at the time by playing Bloody Well Right which was risque at the time - what larks! This affiliation also helped define a different approach to music on Capital than their only real competitor at the time, BBC Radio 1 [[User:IanMSpencer|Spenny]] 23:27, 13 April 2007 (UTC) |

== Removed 'Beatlesque Pop Songs' == |
|||
Removed the uncited reference to Supertramp's later music being 'Beatlesque' - the comment was opinion and doesn't adequately define the breadth of the groups work. |
|||
== Contentious Comment on Stardom == |
|||
''Despite chart success, the band never attained superstardom in the UK (although they did in Canada, the United States and the rest of Europe).'' |
|||
I think that needs some justification (in fact I'm very tempted to delete it). It all depends on the definition of super-stardom, but Supertramp were very well known artistically, and Breakfast in America was treated as a big event when it was released. Their albums were successful in the UK. They were never a U2 anywhere in the world, but they were successful in the UK and they still receive airplay today. |
|||
Put another way, apparently Crime of the Century reached #4 in the UK album charts, Crisis what Crisis #20, Even #12, Breakfast #3 - all better placings than the US charts. [http://pages.globetrotter.net/corny/timelin2.htm] though I'd want a better site for citing UK chart positions. |
|||
Is this just a way of saying they wanted more recognition than they got? If so, say so :) |
|||
== "Lady" from Crisis, What Crisis in singles chart == |
|||
I am pretty sure that the track "Lady" from the album Crisis?, What Crisis? was a successful single in the UK in 1975, possibly top 10. Doesn't seem to be in the singles list. <small>—Preceding [[Wikipedia:Signatures|unsigned]] comment added by [[Special:Contributions/87.114.1.48|87.114.1.48]] ([[User talk:87.114.1.48|talk]]) 13:50, 10 September 2007 (UTC)</small><!-- Template:UnsignedIP --> <!--Autosigned by SineBot--> |

== Redirects == |
|||
A number of the Supertramp songs ([[Bloody Well Right]], [[Crime Of The Century (song)|Crime of the Century]], [[School (Supertramp song)|School]], at least) redirect to this page. It's confusing be be on [[Crime_of_the_Century_(album)|an album page]] and click on a link and get sent to the band page. These should be deleted. <small>—Preceding [[Wikipedia:Signatures|unsigned]] comment added by [[Special:Contributions/137.186.209.19|137.186.209.19]] ([[User talk:137.186.209.19|talk]]) 02:58, 24 September 2007 (UTC)</small><!-- Template:UnsignedIP --> <!--Autosigned by SineBot--> |
|||
== Merging of Articles == |
|||
I think it would make sense to merge the [[Supertramp_discography]] article with the [[Supertramp]] article under the discography section, rather than having two seperate pages. |
|||
Does anyone else agree? |

Revision as of 18:58, 12 October 2008
Sutton railway station was a station in Sutton, Cambridgeshire on the Great Eastern Railway line between St Ives and Ely. It was opened in the nineteenth century to serve the settlement, and closed in the 1960s as part of the Beeching Axe which left many smaller towns and villages without a rail connection.
It should not be confused with the still open Sutton railway station in London.
