Saxon (Official Thread)

[electric funeral]

Been slowly catching up with my Saxon. Think Unleash is a belter and Lion Heart I spinned a few times. Great as well!! Indeed a vastly underrated band. Great track Sox.

^^^Lionheart is a great album EF, I have to thank LG for getting me rolling again with Saxon.

^^It was a pleasure to "reintroduce" you to Biff and the lads Mighty Ent.

Speaking of Saxon, I can pick up quite a few of their albums at the flea market, Terry's vinyl is usually really good so I might get a couple next time I'm there. I didn't have them at the top of my list because for some reason they are still available new from a couple online vinyl shops, well their early albums before CD's came out the later albums are impossible to find on vinyl.

Saxon to me has aged like a fine Cabernet Sauvingnon.

Great band, I kind of drifted in and out with Saxon, liked them years ago and then left them for a while, I have quite a few on my wish list but have been buying so many different albums, they have taken a back seat for now, I will resume, Unleash The Beast will be my next I believe

I heard denim and leather the other day and was impressed.Ive heard some more of their early stuff but really need to explore more.
747 (Strangers in the Night)-I really like this song.

^^I have ALL of their albums..

And I bought my first Saxon vinyl record two weeks ago, "Crusader" it's in really good shape, haven't listened to it yet though. Hopefully this weekend I'll have time.

They did wander off the Metal Highway for a couple years, trying to duplicate the success of other bands, but all it did was offend their original fan base.

But they made a complete comeback and I think their albums from "Dogs of War" to now are the best they've ever done. I do like their early work too.
