[@daleroberts1909]

Been a fan for 40 years! All the big name bands aerosmith, van Halen, rest in peace eddie! Queen, u2 etc! Etc! Etc! If you had bought a album, CD for any of those bands! Only 1 or 2 songs I guarantee you you would listen to , off any of those albums? Which happens to be the songs you would hear day after day, hour after hour on your fm station! And year after year now? This band budgie body of work ! Which was played very little on the air waves fm radio! Only on some stations like in my town in eastern Washington ! Which played everyone but the band's I stated above! This is where we got to hear budgie and others? I suggest if you just hearing this band on u tube that you will be not disappointed with getting any of their CD, or albums if you still have a turntable! You will find that ever song is inventive and just plainly rocks! Every friend that I've played their music too will always say! How come I've never heard of these guys? And.become a instant fan? They are the best period.
