I bought a second hand Obsession one day for £3 and it also had a poster inside. Now it's on the wall, looks really nice.

my favourite album of theirs, misdemeanor, tends to be ignored by most fans and i have no idea why? my favourite ufo guitarist played on that record.
two songs i can't stand of theirs are the fan favourites, rock bottom and doctor doctor!!!

my favourite ufo song:
UFO - Meanstreets [ custom performance video ] - YouTube

and the live version:
Meanstreets - UFO - YouTube

Wow, really? What about Rock Bottom don't you like?

I think it is a cool bridge song from their space rock era to the Schenker years and the lead kicks a countryload of ass.

 

[billyporter]

i can see why people like both songs as they're probably great in a live situation. i just think they sound boring.

This is my favourite UFO lyric. I often wonder what the Americans made of this:


Lyrics to Love Is Forever


I don't want to settle down
Stop my heart and turn around
Rebel nature, just got to be free
I'm in the right place, right place to be

Washers, dryers, dealers, and souls
Looking into the fire
Flat caps, whippets, lovers, and wives
Balanced out on the wire
And she said
Love is forever babe
Love is a tool
Servant for Jesus
A slave for a fool

I look out through love's back door
I escape but not any more
Revelation help me see
I'm in the wrong place, the wrong place to be

Washers dryers dealers and souls
Looking up to rise higher
Flat caps whippets lovers and wives
Balanced out on the wire

And she said
Love is forever babe
Love is a tool
Servant for Jesus
Slave for a fool
Love is for worshipped
Love is a test
Love is a firebrand burnin'
A hole in her breast
Love is ...

Washers dryers dealers and souls
Looking into the fire
Flat caps, whippets, lovers and wives,
Balanced out on the wire
And she said
Love is forever babe
Love is a tool
Servant for Jesus
Slave for a fool
Love is for worship
Love is a test
Love is the firebrand burning
A hole in her breast
Love is a blossom
Love is a lie
She said be careful boy
This ain't no wild cherry pie
Love is forever, love is forever, love is forever

i really want to get to know U.F.O. more, all my life I've heard how great they are but they were never huge in my neck of the woods. Nobody ever sat me down when I was growing up and said "you will listen to these albums and love them". I own "Phenomenon" on LP and I'm sure if I see any more vinyl of theirs I'll buy it.

UFO for me are my fav band

one missing from the pic is the live strangers in the night , neighbour has borrowed it, but you have to listen to it one of the finest live albums of all time

so ufo have a look at some of these
