Let’s begin our countdown with the record at #10- Breakfast in America by Supertramp: Creative conflicts & internal disagreements between Rick Davies & Roger Hodgson were constant during the making of Breakfast in America, and the emotional toll of success all played a part in shaping the album’s complex history. By the time Supertramp began working on the record, all five members of the band were living in California, and loved it! Hodgson was the first to make the move. He recalled being fascinated with America as a whole, but when he came to California, he felt like he’d died and gone to Heaven:
The cover of Breakfast in America features an illustration of a New York City scene, with a waitress holding a tray that resembles the New York skyline — specifically, the twin towers of the World Trade Center. It’s a very cool, cartoonish depiction, fitting the album’s satirical and whimsical tone. It was designed by artist William Neal, who created a stylized, exaggerated view of Times Square and the Twin Towers to evoke the city’s bustling, vibrant energy: After 9-11, some people focused on the twin towers on the album cover and speculated that the artwork held a hidden message, or was intentionally referencing the tragedy. This led to various online claims suggesting that the cover was a foreknowledge or a message related to 9/11.
