Roger Hodgson

To me, Roger Hodgson owns one of the most instantly recognizable voices in rock history. The Logical Song, Dreamer, Give a Little Bit — those soaring melodies carried Supertramp from art-rock obscurity to global ubiquity, and they were largely his. What I respect most is the marriage of philosophical lyrics and irresistible hooks; he made existential doubt something you could sing along to in the car. Decades after leaving the band, his songs still feel current rather than nostalgic, which is the rarest achievement in pop music. For my money, he belongs in any serious conversation about Britain's great melodic songwriters.
