Firsts & Lasts

Uriah Heep’s Demons and Wizards was probably the single most influential song that kept me tuning my low E string to drop D just for the pure joy of how it sounded.

Nick, the video is fine and dandy, but what about Ginger Rogers and Fred Astaire dancing Cheek to Cheek? (OK, I'll get my coat now, but I will be back).

I've got a copy Ginger Baker and Fred Astaire's drum-off album "Hold My Beer You @&^%" which I must Dig out one day...

I think Innuendo was a spectacular album to finish off with after Miracle and It’s a Kind of Magic, neither of which have much that appeals to me. (I still dislike 80s pop except in very exceptional occasions). Uriah Heep started out amazing and are still releasing exciting albums. I still needs to listen to The Cardiacs.

@@musicisajourney I agree on the 80s. Not a massive fan of 80s Queen after The Game - too poppy for my liking then with a couple of exceptions. Innuendo was a return to form of sorts. Heep are like a band reborn with these last 2 records! Cardiacs. A difficult listen sometimes - prog, heavy, punk, art, ska, carnival, fairground, baroque - sometimes all in the same song!! Have a listen to As Cold as Can Be in an English Sea on YT to find out!

@@carefulwiththataxeeugene-fz2ek That’s a very cool track! It sounds like a punk singer took his guitarist with him to join a prog band in 1973. I like it!
