I remember listening to a syndicated heavy metal radio show back in the '80s where at the end of the show they would always bring on a major metal star, like someone from Iron Maiden or Judas Priest or Sabbath etc. and that person would count down their five favorite hard rock/metal records of all time. And I remember that UFO came up a lot in this context, which stuck in my mind bc UFO at that point seemed somewhat on the obscure side - they never had a huge '80s comeback like Deep Purple (also Michael Schenker had his own group and two of UFO were in Waysted by then). But yeah, it seemed clear that UFO commanded a lot of respect from the '70s generation guys.
