I know a few of these but seriously, Scott and Stormy to thread...

Beggar's Opera - "Get Your Dog Off Me!"

The title track (don't know the album) is classic. A real hangover from the old days...

Bakerloo is heavy blues rock, played by a Trio. I used to have the orig. Harvest pressing! IIRC, they were quite powerful & rocking, but it's been a long time since I heard it.

I used to have all the Harvest Edgar Broughton albums, great sleeves, especially "Inside Out", actually, I think I still have them in a box somewhere. Kind of super-sloppy & shambling on the first couple of albums, but they'd got their musical act together a bit by the time the 2 listed above came out. Hard to describe them, really - a bit plodding, perhaps, but too frontish/in yer face to be pub rock. I seem to remember "Inside Out" haveing this really good solid section. I'm kind of tempted to pick these up again.

The Pete Brown stuff IIRC is quite highly regarded by some people, but I have no idea what they sound like.

The BTO is great.

The Beau Brummels albums are great. Truly great!

Black Widow were cool. And they invented Black Metal! Okay, not really.

I like that Blood, Sweat, & Tears album. My dad used to sing BST songs to me before i went to bed at night when i was little.

That Bloodrock album is great. Buy it.

Eveyone must own all Blues Magoos albums.

Everyone should own every Bohannon album. He was a genius.

That Broughton album is cool.

Everyone should own all those Budgie albums.

I like Love Is by The Animals, but you don't need to own it.

sorry to be so vague. i would be here all day otherwise.

The New Favorites of Brinsley Schwarz -- proto pub rock via The Byrds
But I'd say a compilation is all you need of them (or Bohannon)

That inital Blood Sweat & Tears LP features a different and superior lead singer (Al Kooper)than their better-known albums. Less jazz-rock bombast, more NYC white soul a la the Young Rascals.

m coleman (lovebug starski), Friday, 24 June 2005 10:46 (twenty years ago)

I would definitely be interested in:

Hamilton Bohannon - "The Rhythm funk Master - the best of..."

Dadaismus (Dada), Friday, 24 June 2005 10:49 (twenty years ago)

Black Widow - Sacrifice is great! "Come To The Sabbat" is the undoubted comedy highlight, but a lot of the other tracks have a strange Uriah Heep with emo vocals feel to them. The lyrics are excellent cod-Satanism via Dennis Wheatley too - they seem to worship some minor deity called Astar0th (google-proofed to keep this thread from being cursed). III kind of sucks as I recall BUT the future drummer of Showaddywaddy plays on it.

Budgie seconded, start with Never Turn Your Back on a Friend, In for the Kill and the s/t first album.

Blood Sweat & Tears are sort of a classical / jazz / pub rock crossover. Pretty good for a proto jam band.

best discription evah.

mullygrubbr (bulbs), Friday, 24 June 2005 11:21 (twenty years ago)

I would describe them as like Chicago but even worse

Bloodrock - s/t, "Bloodrock 2"

you can probably find these for $1 if you look around. the one with "DOA" is pretty good - that track is essential, bizarre 70s bad trip rock.

Hamilton Bohannon - "The Rhythm funk Master - the best of..."

definitely! especially if it's heavy with the 70s side one jams where he just kicks the beats ass relentlessly.

Edgar Broughton Band - s/t, "Inside Out"

"wasa wasa" is their best. i'm not too fond of the s/t.

Budgie (deep breath) - s/t, "Deliver us from Evil", "An Extacy of Fumbling", "If I were Brittania I'd Waive the Rules", "Impeckable", "In for the Kill", "Never Turn Your Back on a Friend", "Nightflight", "Power Supply", "Squawk".

as above, all should own at least "budgie"/"squawl"/"never turn your back"/"in for the kill."

el sabor de gene (yournullfame), Friday, 24 June 2005 11:42 (twenty years ago)

i've never heard bs&t - dada or matt#2 - who nails it?

mullygrubbr (bulbs), Friday, 24 June 2005 11:43 (twenty years ago)

I think we're both right!

Dadaismus (Dada), Friday, 24 June 2005 11:44 (twenty years ago)

aw, i lke BS&T. and david clayton thomas!

scott seward (scott seward), Friday, 24 June 2005 11:46 (twenty years ago)

mullygrubbr (bulbs), Friday, 24 June 2005 11:46 (twenty years ago)

actually m coleman nailed it. first LP = grebt. after that...

zebedee (zebedee), Friday, 24 June 2005 11:48 (twenty years ago)

how can you hate spinning wheel or lucretia mac evil?????

scott seward (scott seward), Friday, 24 June 2005 11:51 (twenty years ago)

"you like almost everything scott"

i hate stuff! i just don't talk about it much. and i am bored by a lot of stuff, but i don't talk about that stuff either.

scott seward (scott seward), Friday, 24 June 2005 11:55 (twenty years ago)

Maggie Bell - "Queen of the Night", "Suicide Sal"

I think I have both of those. They're not very memorable. I can't even form enough of an impression of them to make a worthwhile comment.

Hamilton Bohannon - "The Rhythm funk Master - the best of..."

Essential

I seem to recall that you like Hawkwind so you would probably like Edgar Broughton Band and Budgie a lot.

"Winds of Change" is the only Eric Burdon I know out of those but it's worth getting. Nice psychedelic production, a good cover of Paint it Black, plus the inspiration for a pretty funny Mops cover of San Francisco Nights.
