Breakfast in America... one of my favourite albums. I put in on my 11 yr old son's mp3 player. He loves it
Double recommendation here:
1.) You young'uns probably don't know Supertramp. Catch up.
2.) This YT channel is my new favorite lunchtime watch! She analyzes vocal technique (something I know ZERO about) and how it interconnects with the lyrics, emotion, the rest of the song's elements. But the real joy is watching her react to a song for the first time as she steps through it.

Watching her absorb Supertramp's constantly unexpected, wonderfully unique pizzazz while appreciating the singer's heartfelt storytelling is a blast.
I've loved this song for DECADES but it's really cool to appreciate it in a new way from her more technical perspective and her own in-the-moment emotional reactions.
Discussion
When I was in middle school, my neighbor was my age but had WAY older brothers. We'd listen to their albums (actual records) for HOURS. Made such a huge impression on me. As a result I basically have the same classic rock tastes as 50-60yr olds!
Supertramp, Pink Floyd, Led Zepplin, Frampton, Clapton.
