Supertramp were one of those groups along with Jethro Tull etc that got a huge backlash from the snotty nosed punk brigade in the late 1970s.

I (personally) categorize/compare them with bands like Styx, Cheep Trick, and Electric Light Orchestra to name a few.
Supertramp was always on the radio during the 70s. So they were not really unrecognized or unpopular during that era.
