Re: Uriah Heep
HA! Yes, back in the day I was known to blast a few on occasion. I seem to recall most of my Heep listening was in the dorm at the University of Miami after taking advantage of Friday afternoon happy hour(s) at the campus Rathskeller. 2 bucks to get in, and you got 2 tickets good for a 16 oz beer each, then they were $1 each after that (this was obviously a long time ago). It started at 3:00 PM and by 3:30 you could hardly push your way through the place to get to the bar. We'd stumble out to go back to the dorm at about 8:00, already feeling like we'd been up all night.
It's been so long it's hard to recall all the hard rock LPs that came to and went from my collection, but among the ones I used to own (and even play!) were the two Heep albums I mentioned along with a Grand Funk album or two (I enjoyed the fact that they - and Heep - were bands that liked to flaunt their critical disdain, GFR going so far as to print copies of their bad reviews on their LPs' inner sleeves). Heck, I even had Live at Leeds and Love It to Death!
Wow...is that you in here Craig? I know your taste has mellowed over the years but it's good to know you used to enjoy the old Heep back in the day.
