Thanks for the reminder...Will have to revisit the UFO albums I bought during some rather ‘hazy” times that are mostly lost to my memory. I know I’ve got copies of “Force It” and “Obsession” somewhere as well as the live album which were all car-cassette-player staples during the trailing end of the 70s (??). Seems like there was an instrumental on one of them called “Between the Walls” that I really connected with....Wished it went on for an entire album side. A friend who played guitar turned me on to UFO. Similar story w/Frank Marino and Mahogany Rush about the same time.
Any other Agon Love for UFO?
Was listening to UFO- (Phenomenon) today. Got me thinkin’
Obviously, musical taste is very personal but I am surprised this band is not more well know and appreciated. I’ve had a pretty extensive listening and music network for many decades and I’ve NEVER met anyone else that knows this band more than casually...let alone owns their music.
Yes, I know they have sold millions of albums and mine is an admittedly limited sample... I get that...but they are strangely missing from many’s list.
They have all of the elements of what make their genre successful ...starting with Phil Moog, an incredible lead/ voice...good songwriting (Spirited at times, but, not many lurid references just for the sake of it ; ), the occasional presence of Michael Schenker, they were a great live show, etc. etc.
Look, I don’t start a lot of threads like this..... But, it is shocking to me that this band is not more well known/popular. I feel that they are some of the very very best at what they did/do.
What are your thoughts/experience?
P.S. I truly feel that Strangers in the Night is one of the best live rock albums ever created. OMG Rock Bottom will burn the house down if you are not careful ; )
