Texas King Posted February 10, 2017 Share Posted February 10, 2017 What is your fave album by the British hard rock equivalent to Blue Oyster Cult? My choice: Look at Yourself, but Demons & Wizards is close behind. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rick N. Backer Posted February 12, 2017 Share Posted February 12, 2017 They have another album besides Abominog? They have another song besides That's the Way That It Is? Who knew? :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Cat 3 Posted February 13, 2017 Share Posted February 13, 2017 I just thought about something... The first concert I ever saw was KISS in December of 1976. Uriah Heep was the opening act, so they were the first band I saw live. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Boots Posted June 24, 2017 Share Posted June 24, 2017 They were before my time, but I'm really starting to like their music, especially "Gypsy" and "Lady in Black." I can remember hearing about them the 2nd time I saw Opeth. When Mikael mentioned Uriah Heep he said, "that's a f**king metal band." I will always remember that. :) 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
treeduck Posted February 5, 2021 Share Posted February 5, 2021 I must have missed this thread. My top Heep album is constantly changing, at the moment it's Very 'Eavy Very 'Umble. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zepphead Posted February 5, 2021 Share Posted February 5, 2021 I too have never seen this thread. My favourite generally hovers between Look At Yourself, Magicians Birthday and Demons & Wizards.Currently it is Look At Yourself.(BTW even if you included all non-Byron albums, this three would still be my top 3.) 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Turbine Freight Posted February 5, 2021 Share Posted February 5, 2021 Abominog would just about nudge ahead of the pack for me but it has strong competition. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It seemed to re-ignite their career.What I need to do now is explore more of their output post Abominog which was the last album I listened to prior to the arrival of Wake The Sleeper.I expect there to be some good stuff and some clunkers!! Any pointers would be greatly appreciated! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Any pointers would be greatly appreciated!Head First was the next one in 1983 which is kind of like Abominog part 2 but not quite as good. I still think it's excellent though. The one after that, Equator in 1985, saw the band go way too commercial, with some questionable song-writing, that's probably the worst album in the band's history. After this there's a gap to 1989 and the beginning of the Bernie Shaw era. The next four albums, Raging Silence (1989), Different World (1991), Sea of Light (1995) and Sonic Origami (1998) are all really good albums and worth getting. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
