Another overlooked hard rock band from the era for those interested.

Love it! Great Sabbath/Lucifer's Friend vibe.

Of the three, definitely Uriah Heep for me.

I agree Sir Lord Baltimore and Budgie need to be on the list. As do Dust, Elf, Captain Beyond, and one of my faves for straight ahead hard rock, Foghat. Probably many more as well.

Always meant to get into Elf and Captain Beyond. Always thought early Deep Purple were underrated because that self titled is great! Plus their first vocalist ended up in Captain Beyond which is part of why I wanted to check them out.

Completely agree!

For me:

#1: UFO:
"Strangers In The Night" was one of the first five albums I bought. I'm a great fan of Michael Schenker and I loved the UFO Albums of the 80s as well

#2: URIAH HEEP:
Had their up's and downs… but the last two times I saw them live during the last few years, they were fantastic. To be honest, I attended also some boaring shows around 2004/2005

#3: NAZARETH
Some great songs, but especially during the last 10 years extremely dissapointing on stage...

But yes I'd also include Scorpions w/ Uli Jon Roth on that list. I prefer it massively over their 80s stuff.
Fun Fact: You know Iron Maiden is ready to come on stage when UFO's Doctor Doctor starts playing.

UFO for me, then Nazareth. If it's between the three. I quickly became a fan of UFO after hearing Schenker shred those riffs. Especially on Rock Bottom, Rock Bottom!

Nice! For me it's the solo section on Let It Roll. Just beautiful. What a way to start that album.

Love this one too!

Don't forget Budgie. Budgie were one of the best. I'd pick them over any of these three.

And yeah, that Sir Lord Baltimore album rules!!!

Budgie are great! I'll have to check out Sir Lord Baltimore.

Lot of great lesser known hard rock bands in the 70s, never really thought much of Nazareth but bands like UFO, Uriah Heep, Primevil, Sir Lord Baltimore, Blues Creation, and Vanilla Fudge were more my kind of thing.

I couldn't really get into Vanilla Fudge. Budgie is a lesser known one I really like.

One of my favorite early obscure youtube discoveries. I think I was around 16 and I stumbled across that album cover; I was immediately intrigued.

I've already touted this one before.

Demian by Demian

I'm totally up for keeping this thread going until we've exhausted all of the ridiculous names.
