| | Overlooked Albums Of The 70's Pt. 5 | | 1 |  | Atomic Rooster
Death Walks Behind You
Heavy psychedelic rock from the band that introduced the world to Carl Palmer. Unfortunately Palmer had quit the band by the time they released this, arguably thier best album, but his replacement, Paul Hammond puts in an excellent performance on drums. | | 2 |  | Traffic
Shoot Out at the Fantasy Factory
Although not up to the standard of John Barleycorne Must Die, Shoot Out at the Fantasy Factory is still a highly enjoyable album that often gets overlooked. The title track and the 12 minute, Roll Right Stones are the two tracks that stand out the most. | | 3 |  | Glenn Hughes
Play Me Out
Hughes' first solo album saw the former Deep Purple singer/bassist almost entirely abandon the heavy rock sound of his previous band in favour of a more soul influenced sound. Songs like I Found A Woman see Hughes embrace his more emotional side while L.A. Cut Off is pure funk. | | 4 |  | Leaf Hound
Growers of Mushroom
Leaf Hound are often cited as an early influence on the genre that would become known as stoner rock and listening to Growers of Mushroom it's not hard to see why. | | 5 |  | Uriah Heep
Very 'eavy... Very 'umble
Uriah Heep's superb debut is often overlooked in favour of later albums, Look at Yourself and Demons and Wizards but for some it still remains the band's finest achievement. Songs like Gypsy and Real Turned On are classic hard rock while the beautiful Come Away Melinda hinted at the more progreesive direction that they would explore in more depth with future releases. | |

11.09.11 | And the series continues. | MO
11.09.11 | Uriah Heep rules, diggin' this series of yours. | seifer
11.09.11 | great series need to check out 1 and 3 | JamieTwort
11.09.11 | Thanks MO and Seifer. | seifer
11.09.11 | is 5 as psychedelic as their later albums cuz i've only heard demons and wizards and look at yrself? | JamieTwort
11.09.11 | It's more like Look at Yourself than it is Demons and Wizards but it's not much different to thier later stuff. If you like those two I'm sure you'll like it. | seifer
11.09.11 | nice | JamieTwort
11.09.11 | 5 is my favourite Heep album btw. | sumyunguy
11.09.11 | excellent list. 1 is absolutely great, better than their first with palmer. all I have from traffic is john barleycorn. what is else from them is top notch material? i've heard The Low Spark... is quite good also. | JamieTwort
11.09.11 | Thanks man. Low Spark and Shoot Out are well worth checking out, both are excellent. | TheNotrap
11.09.11 | Cool list JT.
Yes, Glenn Hughes always had a blues soul. Amazing voice. | JamieTwort
11.09.11 | Thanks Notrap.
Yeah Hughes is an incredible vocalist, one of my favourites. | Jethro42
11.11.11 | Oh! For some reason I missed tha list
I only heard couples of Atomic Rooster songs and never came back to them. I don't remember what were my impressions.
2 is an excellent record
I'm confused for 5; Isn't it the description for their s/t? | JamieTwort
11.11.11 | ^The self-titled album is the US version of Very 'eavy... Very 'umble. They are exactly the same except for one track (s/t has Bird of Prey instead of Lucy Blues). | Jethro42
11.11.11 | Ah kapitche =] | JamieTwort
11.11.11 | I can certainly see why that would be confusing. Very 'eavy... is the most common version, which I think is available worldwide except in the US. |
