I love @OB1,s little descriptions but I’ll be on full alert when he mentions Yes :-)

Poor man's Starcastle ;-)

Incoming hate mail for the bit in bold......... ;-)

He’ll be safe enough. The TH fans won’t venture onto here.

Do the Thompsons count? Richard, Linda & Teddy?
Probably had Emerson, Lake & Palmer back in the E's so should include 3 (Emerson, Palmer & Robert Berry)
Three Dog Night
Trans Am

There must be a tribute band in Manchester somewhere: Ederson, Lake and Roger Palmer.

As the A - Z continues on the music thread for those with good taste, we arrive at U, which doesn't give us many options, at least not from my catalogue:

U2 – Irish boy band

UFO – Out of this world hard rockers.

Ugly Kid Joe – America’s least wanted metallers.

Ultravox – Slick synth rock.

Upp – Jeff Beck produced their first album of funky fusion.

Uriah Heep – Very ‘eavy, very ‘umble.

Utopia – Todd Rundgren’s prog backing band.


UFO are my favourites out of that lot. A band I defined away from after their late 70's early 80's heyday until a few short years ago and have since frantically acquired their latter releases, which are good.

Of course, nothing can surpass their Strangers in the Night live album, with Michael Schenker on guitar; except that is the box set version with the full gigs that they culled from.

I've recounted a few times my stories of "meeting" UFO on the road in California in 1981 so won't repeat them here but they are a special band for me. Did see them live on their last UK tour and they still delivered the goods.

Fun fact, apparently (lead singer) Phil Mogg and Schenker occasionally bump into one another in Morrissons on Brighton these days.

Another band who I've been into buying recently is Uriah Heep: I never owned their early David Byron albums but I am now one short. Interesting band.

I must also confess that I have most if not all of U2's albums and have seen them a few times in concert.

Always liked all Uriah Heep, but prefer the John Lawton and current Bernie Shaw to the Byron albums, except Take a look at yourself.then again Abominog with Peter Goalby is a favourite too.
