, in trance and virgin killer are insanely classic
Yeah, I like these + Taken by Force, which is probably the one I've listened to most.

Layered guitars on "Sails of Charon" are huge. I sometimes think that record is like an object lesson o how to record a rock band.

Are they and Judas Priest generally regarded as the "heaviest" bands recording in 1976 and 77? Rainbow was around and Motorhead were starting, I suppose...

UFO was pretty influential I think
Maiden and some of the NWOBHM bands were in their beginning club stages
Sabotage was 75 so I'd imagine Sabbath was still relevant

the front and then back cover of Animal magnetism knocked me on my lil 11 year old ass when I discovered it in the cutout bin… and that records "don't make no promises" is very funny, if the way it conveys confusion over gender shows the guys, or at least only Rarebell, who wrote the words, to be pretty dopey… I think you can love the band and acknowledge that they are cretinous in ways that non metal people liked to characterize metal people… like I don't think there is a self aware Rob Halford or Bruce Dickinson kinda or person in Scorpions…

I dunno, they never seemed to take themselves that seriously in a lot of ways. Always a lot of showbiz razzmatazz rather than the po-faced pretension the likes of Led Zep could sink into.

The Wire just reviewed solo Uli Jon Roth band Electric Sun l.p. Earthquake whichvi wasn't aware was in the area they covered.seems a pretty positive review too talking about sludge and improvisation and things.

All those Uli albums are great, but oh my he has a commanding presence on Taken By Force. Sails of Charon! We'll Burn the Sky! The Hendrix worship on Your Light!

I get that Klaus is kind of a goofy (imo very loveable) character, and and the lyrics can be a little awkward or o_O at times but I really love his voice, and he's such a great a melodicist, and has such a natural feel for hooky/memorable melodies.
I love the Uli stuff but also the 80s pop metal period I think they were really an exceptional band in that era as well.
