Uriah Heep, a melodic heavy metal band formed in 1969, they never quite achieved the success of bands like Sabbath and Purple, but were among the best of the early hard rock/metal bands. Far more successful overseas than in North America, they did release some very good records over their long and distinguished career. My older brother bought one of their albums when it came out, but I never paid much attention to it at the time. A few months ago I picked up a copy of Magician's Birthday and was really surprised how much I liked the Heep. Then I got Demon's & Wizards next and have added quite a few other Remastered CD's to the collection.
They are still active and remain popular in Europe and Russia especially. Recently after visitng their homepage I found out they are touring the U.S. in 2010, truly one of the most resilient bands that just keep on going and going and...you get the picture.
The current line-up.

Any other fans of the old Heep in the house?
