Re: Atomic Rooster

I still love all the stuff they have done, really great music, the hammond really shines and the vocals roar. Still the highlight for me was seeing Peter French on stage doing Breakthrough whilst singing for Leafhound. That was something else )

Re: Atomic Rooster

I listened to the whole first half of this thread! I love the vocalist! He has a lot of character and can go from gritty rock vocals to a more metal vocal. I also like some of the unique music directions of the band. What I didn't like was the overuse of organ. I don't get how people could hear this instrument in more than small doses. I love certain bands who use it like The Doors but it's grating after a while. Anyway, a good find for a classic rock band and a little classic rock education for the new music guy!

Re: Atomic Rooster

Headline news is a great album, one of the best IMO.

Re: Atomic Rooster

Soot I love the sound of the Hammond Organ but Tracey isn't a fan. I have a stack of bands in my collection that lean heavily on the organ, so you can imagine I have to time the air play just right or reach for the headphones.

LG do you think this is a band who's records seem to sound better as the years go by ?
