Outstanding review!! I only liked the first 2 albums. Where The Groupies Killed The Blues was my favorite. I wasnt fond of the direction they took...but they were certainly fantastic musicians and albums like Rock n' Roll Singer, Banquet and later albums were done well...but not my style. One of my favorites is a side project . A band called The Pink Mice which was Lucifer's Friend playing Classical music electrified. The album IN ACTION was the most consistent. It actually has that Lucifer's Friend sound and style that you may be familiar with on the first album and Where The Groupies Killed The Blues.

That was a very interesting survey. I’ve listened to most of your top-rated albums, and Banquet and Mind Exploding are my 2 favourites so far. I completely agree about the high standard of playing all round, and I was already a big fan of the brilliant John Lawton from the 3 albums he did with Uriah Heep - pound for pound, his era might just about be my favourite. In fact, if you were to do a similar ranking of the Heep catalogue, I’d be very interested to see it - they’re one of my very favourite bands😊.

Thanks for watching mate. Interesting to hear your 2 favorites as well, both amazing albums. As for Uriah Heep that’s a much bigger challenge. A very big catalog of albums and while I have many of them there are some gaps in my collection and knowledge. But maybe I could rank my top 10 albums…I’ll definitely give it some thought.

I agree with you on the band’s name being part of the reason they never gained traction. In an era where bands like Black Sabbath and Judas Priest existed, the name “Lucifer’s Friend” may have been a bit too on the nose for some potential listeners. They really should have just stuck with Asterix. As for my personal favourite albums, my top three are Lucifer’s Friend, Banquet and Mean Machine. They’re all so distinct from one another, but all awesome in their own ways. Being able to play around with different styles of music was definitely their biggest strength.

This was a really good primer for anyone looking for some good underground rock and influential metal. I had 3 of these albums in my collection for years and never listened to them (like you said - name threw me off) - one day I put the debut on and was completely blown away- these are now in rotation 😊 - on another note regarding your video- the sound of your voice is really low in spite of that big microphone right by your head ( was it working? ) also did you upload in SD or is that limitation due to your camera? Get a good HD or 4K webcam off of Amazon - your content is worth it! Look forward to more of this ❤

[@themetalspotlight]

Thanks for the great feedback. Yeah my sound and vision is limited to my gear. My computer is very old and can’t handle HD video processing and the microphone is a cheap one from Amazon. Hopefully when I’m in a better financial situation I’ll be able to upgrade. Believe me I’d love to.

[@omega4recording]

Understood- if you keep this great stuff going you should be able to invest in some new gear - stay cool 😎

[@Gregbaltzer]

Ano,někdy v roce 1973 jsem poprvé slyšel první album Lucifer's Friend,dodnes je to nedoceněné album. Lucifer's Friend předběhli tímto albem dobu.Nikdo tak nehrál a hlavně neuměl zpívat. To album je nejkrásnější,nejtvrdší,nejlépe zapěné a hlavně..nenapodobitelné !!! Vlastním samotné album z r.1970 a obal je "vytlačený" a famózní !!!

[@michaellindenauer8259]

The 1st 5 Lucifer's Friend are all 10's for Me. And the Astrix is a 10 as well.

[@fabiopatane9160]

I think you are a fine gentleman, and an eloquent one. Keep on ranking.

Thank you for those kind words. I’m glad you enjoyed it.
