1. The clarinet solo in the middle is one of the all-time great moments in rock/pop

4. I grew up with my sisters and brothers listening to Supertramp ( I was a little younger )
I'm 33, but remember well them blaring the songs out their bedroom window ( the neighbors didn't seem to mind...back then, Supertramp was pretty cool ) and whenever I hear Supertramp it reminds me of when I was young....maybe the songs, music does that to you sometimes

6. I scraped together the money to buy this album on 8-track when it was first released.
I was 10 years old and I thought I was just the coolest!

It's still a damn good album 30! years later.

9. I remember driving with a friend about 5 years ago,
we were talking and laughing a lot, and "Take the Long Way Home" came on the radio. At the first note of the piano, we both fell silent and listened to the entire song. I still remember the rays of sunlight through each tree as we drove along, and every time I hear that song it reminds me of that time.

7. Another Supertramp song that just takes you back
to a weird time, but it was a better time to be sure :hug: Breakfast in America was the album, and I was only 5 ( 4? August birthday ) but this is some of the music I grew up listening to!!!

12. Breakfast in America is one of the greatest albums in Rock N Roll history
Hit after hit after hit. It was amazing, as I recall. And still is.
