Great interview! And he has his own fully justified reasons for his picks, of course. But for me as merely a listener and fan, I'll actually agree with his first two and 5th picks (debut, Demons & Wizards, Wake The Sleeper) while replacing his 3rd with Look At Yourself and his 4th with Sea Of Light. Or I likely would replace their debut with Into The Wild. But regardless, "Sea Of Light" and "Demons and Wizards" are my top two, without a doubt!
@guywoznicki7847 Жыл бұрын
Finally somebody cited Sea of Light! I discovered Heep in the mid 80’s and bought many of the old albums. Demons and Wizards blew me away and made me a believer. However I enjoyed all the early records right up to Sweet Freedom, after which they tailed off and I stopped listening. Sure Abominog was a rebirth record but I found it overrated. Then I heard nothing more from them until I picked up Popoff’s collectors guides to metal. Now armed with Spotify and KZbin I have checked out many of the later records and got blown away again. Sea of Light is a forgotten masterpiece and criminally underrated. See how few even mention it?
