How do you define Underrated?
I don't think these two albums are underrated especially the Supertramp one. You can define it "Anyway you want (it)" but VII was said to have suffered because it was a double-album, but it was supposed to be purely jazz/experimental, but Guercio and Cetera disagreed, but it also had a ton of great songs, but I wonder if price and direction (after a few single albums) affected audience and/or critics. After "Crime of the Century" it was easy to say how a band couldn't top their previous feat, ala Pink Floyd's "Wish You Were Here" but that's probably the nature of their business. Chicago X to me is their worst Kath era album (I wish the horn section never sang a lick), but because "If You Leave Me Now" hit #1, it sold really well. |

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jq1iz9r9eV8&t=4s I got to open for them several times in recent years, with original members John Palumbo, Rick Witkowski, and Joey D'Amico still in the lineup. Seeing these songs played live from the wings of backstage was surreal. Especially the year they had both the horn and string sections with them. |
