The_Necromancer_77 Posted July 29, 2011 Share Posted July 29, 2011 I used to be a huge Uriah Heep fan. Just listened to them tonight for the first time in months. I like most of their music. An album that often doesn't get the attention it should is Abominog. Really heavy! And the John Lawton era albums are good too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ColdFireYYZ Posted July 29, 2011 Share Posted July 29, 2011 The only album I have is Demons and Wizards, which is really good. I should check out some of their other stuff. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd recommend Very 'eavy...Very 'umble, Salisbury (the title song is incredible. gives me chills.), Look At Yourself, Firefly and Abominog.

treeduck Posted July 29, 2011 Share Posted July 29, 2011 I like most eras, I like the early days David Byron era, the late 70s John Lawton era, the early 80s Pete Goalby era, and the latter day Bernie Shaw era... I'm not keen though on the John Sloman period Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not keen though on the John Sloman period I agree with you completely...except I haven't been able to get into Bernie's stuff. His voice drives me nuts But I do like that they can still make good music. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They seem like a great band. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I really like Bernie's voice and I'm a big fan of Sea of Light, Sonic Origami, Wake the Sleeper and the new one into the Wild...all are excellent albums especially Wake the Sleeper!

Akron162 Posted July 30, 2011 Share Posted July 30, 2011 i really like them, they sound like a combination of rush and deep purple, who desnt want to hear something like that? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fritz44 Posted July 30, 2011 Share Posted July 30, 2011 Keep thinking I need to revisit the Heep. Loved the early stuff with Byron, but wasn't keen on later post-Byron stuff such as Innocent Victim or Fallen Angel so sort of fell away... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Earthshine Posted August 2, 2011 Share Posted August 2, 2011 I saw them in 1982. They seemed sloppy. Probably drunk too. I had always heard how great Lee Kerslake is. I was not impressed. Very sloppy. Seemed drunk too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Silas Lang Posted August 4, 2011 Share Posted August 4, 2011 Demons And Wizards & The Magician's Birthday are absolute heavy rock classics. Gary Thain laid down some excellent bass guitar grooves on these two. Look At Yourself is just a notch below but still damn good (albeit with a different rhythm section). Sweet Freedom I've only listened to a few times but it seemed decent enough. Uriah Heep Live is not a very good live album. Still want to get their first two, Wonderwall and Abominog.

I have those and many more... Agreed, Ducky. I have a few. They have two key components I like... a heavy, fuzzed out '70's sound, and an early tendency to epic grandness. Sweet Freedom was my first Heep album. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
