Nazareth POX

Anyway, Armageddon had everything going for it. Name, album art,
actually received a good review in Rolling Stone.

Every one of my hermit-like hard rock-loving geek pals had a copy.

Armageddon could even be slummed as prog to the 70's audiophile snobs.

As for Valhalla, you have me by the short hairs on that one.

Seconded. Even post-Dave's death ersatz Foghat still draws 'em by
a couple thousand in hinterland gigs. Last summer they got top
billing at the Bethlehem Music Fest, an astonishing trick having to
do with the solidity of their presence in the local FM. This,
even with Charlie Huhn on vocals, a man who sounds nothing like
Lonesome Dave, but rather Bon Scott.

The only other two things I know about Foghat is that they played this small bar in the shitty part of town in Muncie around 88 or 89 called Hendersons, which maybe could hold 150-200 people. A classic rock rumor was that Foghat's drummer had a motorized drum stool that would spin him around when he did his drum solo. I've never confirmed this mind you, but this was a rumor put out by a friends older angeldusted brother who also claimed that George Thorogood blew the Stones off the stage and 38 Special was awesome because they had three guitarists and TWO drummers, so it may not be a reliable source.

Savoy Brown is one of those bands like the Atlanta Rhythm Section or Wishboy Ash that was around forever, I met people who liked their records, but I haven't heard even one song.

Torture! You have my sympathy.

Never saw it but saw Foghat many times including during the late '80's when various members of the band would fight with Dave,
necessitating the hiring of assorted ringers. Perhaps this was more than was safe for good mental hygeine.

awesome:

Mama, mama, please no more jaguars
I don't want to be a pop star
Mama, mama, please no more deckhands
I don't wanna be a sailor man
Mama, mama, please no more facelifts
I just don't know which one you is
Mama, mama, please no more husbands
I don't know who my daddy is.

always great with the covers (Gone Dead Train, I Want To Do Everything For You, This Flight Tonite, Hollis Brown, Love Hurts, etc)...

One more great cover. Definitely prefer this to the original. I'm not sure if it's been mentioned elsewhere, but Ram Jam will now live forever thanks to Rayman. One of the best video game moments that I've ever had.

Can't believe no one's had 'Waiting For The Man'.
