Thank you for your ranking the studio albums of Nazareth!! 🎤🎸🎵🥁

[@bryanbyrde8338]

I ‘ve been waiting for this feature, Pete. Nazareth have such a vast back catalogue of albums that I didn’t know which ones were best to check out. I own the live Snaz album which I really like (definitely in my 10 favourite live albums). I love how they include plenty of covers and put their own unique stamp on them. This is one of the great things about your videos - not only can we talk about our favourite bands and albums, we can learn about others we might have missed out on. Thanks.

I loved Expect No Mercy when it first came out and still play it today.

[@kevinsnodgrass4586]

[@sherryraisbeck9547]

Love, love, love Nazareth, my favorite band of all time...one of my favorite recipes from back in the day: Boones Farm+Pot+back roads+ Hot Tracks= one fuck of good time..hard to pick a favorite from the 70s albums but I'll go with Loud and Proud today, man could Dan deliver on those vocals!!...🤘TURN ON YOUR RECEIVER 🤘

[@Nick-qf7vt]

Damn right! These guys are up there with the absolute greats. IMO Nazareth > Zeppelin

[@mirekc8619]

The moment I first heard Hair of the Dog album in 1975 I was hooked. That is still one of the best and influential hard/heavy rock albums of the 70's. Saw Nazareth headline the Aragon Ballroom in Chicago march of '79 on the No Mean City tour. Great band! 1. Hair of the Dog 2. Razamanaz 3. Rampant 4. No Mean City 5. Expect No Mercy

[@tomitstube]

saw them around the same time in kansas city, the bulk of their set was from razamanaz and hair of the dog, in their prime i think.

[@machtnix222]

Thank you pete . For your time and musical input.

[@patriotpizzaman]

It's an album. 100% with you on that one Pete! Hair of the Dog all day! Side one was the first album side I learned by ear! Great memorable riffs!

[@philmore1871]

I remember being disappointed when Malice first came out, but it grew on me over the years and would probably be in my top five now

[@davidlane1169]

Malice In Wonderland does grow on one as one matures. There's a bit of a trick with Malice, it's the only album that Manny Charlton offered another guitarist to contribute as a member of Nazareth at a fairly tender age. Who it was is pretty surprising, the unemployed guitarist from the band The Sensational Alex Harvey Band, Zal Clemson. Look it up if you like, Zals name's is right on the album cover with the rest of Nazareth.

[@raymondjean1195]

No Mean City is my favorite. The best cover artwork, the best hard rock sound ever, still sound fantastic today especially when compared to what was done at that tine. And great songs. Just To Get Into It and No Mean City are my favorite tracks 👍

Amazing that you kept going and bought all their albums. I was a huge fan in the mid 70s, but then moved on to Led Zeppelin and others. But I kept playing those early albums. I had no idea they recorded so many others...

[@bmardon2112]

It's amazing stuff try it out

[@apap4]

I was waiting for Nazareth, thanks Pete. Great band with fantastic voice of Dan Mccafferty. 1. Razamanaz- My favovrite. Hardcore album with sharp riffs heavy bass and drums with fiery dirty vocal. Electrifying, devilish, strong album. Absolutely love. 2.Hair of the Dog- Perfection is not enough. Furious, masterpiece, charm, epic. One of the best rock albums ever. 3.Loud'N'Proud- Energetic rockers. Band can be proud of it and they are really loud. 4.Rampant- For me over time this album is getting better and better. Strong songs and excellent ballads like Sunshine or hypnotic Loved and Lost. Great vibe. 5.Expect No Mercy- Energy explodes. Venomous and sharp. Even pop rock Shot me Down or country rock Place in your Heart doesn't bother. Very good album. 6.No Mean City- Simple and catchy rock and roll with a very moving ballad Star. A very decent album 7.Close Enough For R'n'R- First song is amazing, what a suite. Album has something cool and i listen to it very often. Does not age at all. 8.2XS- Best 80's band album. There are great and weaker moments. I have great mood with this album. The melody is addictive 9.Play'n'The Game- Sharp and stylish, great sounding and groove. 10.Nazareth Debut-Heavy piece solid hard rock. Some good songs and some weak ones. The band was forming n the right direction 11.The Newz- Good rock energy 12. Big Dogz- albums close to 70's 13.Boogaloo- I fell passion on this album. It's fresh drive surprisingly good. 14.No Jive-I am surprised Pete that this album is at the end of your list. I think it's very strong and catchy. Worth remembering, good guitars. Very memorable song: Tell Me That You Love Me, Every Time IT Rains, hard Cry Wolf or heavy Lap of Luxury. I like this album. 15.Snakes'n'Ladders- Great opening. Decent album we will find here traces of old Nazareth. 16.Exercises-Some interesting moments, lack of consistency 17.The Fool Circle- Flat drums sound. Let Me be your leader great song. The rest of the album is so-so. You can listę. 18.Sound Elixir-Worth attention Whippin Boy,Local Still, Milk and Honey and best Where are You now 19.Malice inWonderland- Worth attention fantastic Heart's Grown Cold, Holiday and Turning a new leaf. 20.Move Me-Wotrh attention Steamroller. Very boring album 21.Cinema- Veterans song, hit the fan and Other side of You. 22.The Catch- Pop album. I don't like it. Maybe Love of Freedom it's good. Mccafferty saves the album Rock and Roll Telephone It's somewhere in the middle I listened a little but was good. Tattoed on my brain I listened once and enough. Without Dan, it's not Nazareth. Pete i'm waiting on Allman's. Thank You.

[@looking4leasuretime]

Totally agree. Sweet

[@Nick-qf7vt]

Great list an explanation! Can tell you're a true fan. What an underrated band.

[@tubetea]

I agree with your list, I do like r&r telephone more than you, and I just can't get into Big Dogz or the Newz, I tried but they don't do it for me. I put Boogaloo in my top 5, the last one they did without Dan is a good album but doesn't really sound like a Nazareth album to me, didn't care mucy for the Catch album at all, I do own them all except for Tatooed

[@miaajaniss]

No Jive is fantastic. Easily a top ten album. It is on rate your music. Having it last is idiotic

[@michaelbeaule1966]

Only album by Nazareth I've ever owned/listened to was Hair of The Dog. Great album. Had to listen again. 🙂👍

[@bmardon2112]

Well I can only suggest you invest in the other 70s albums they are phenomenal. Expect No Mercy, the debut, No Mean City, Razamanaz for sure

[@matsnilson7727]

No Mean City will always be very special to me, since it was the first Nazareth album I came into contact with, and I'm 99% sure it was the awesome album cover that made me buy it. A decision I certainly don't regret. I do think Hair of the Dog is their best album though. In fact, I think it's one of the greatest classic hard rock albums ever released. Totally amazing stuff. I've always struggled with Nazareth's softer pop-oriented and more commercial side (I don't mean the ballads, they're usually great) but when they showed that they meant serious business, with heavy gritty guitars, pounding drums and Dan's GLORIOUS voice soaring above it all, they were practically untouchable. I also like The Fool Circle a lot, even though it lacks a lot of raw power. It does have very good songs.

[@bv3bv334]

Me too regarding No Mean City...bought on cassette after spotting the cover in Woolworths! Then I bought Snaz....one of the greatest double lives in history.

[@pag3309]

[@sjames304]

Recall when I first heard "This Flight Tonight" on AM radio back in the 70s. Was hooked. Loved them in the 70s and was fortunate enough to see them a few times back then. Saw them on a triple bill with Rush and Mahogany Rush back around '76.

[@darkhymnsfromthecoldnorth]

I own hair of the dog. I only bought it a year or 2 ago, and love it more every time I play it. Gonna watch this video and then go pick out another one to add to my collection. Thank you sir!

[@TheBerndude]

Love your "ranking" videos. They have helped me navigate through many a discography.

[@jerryattwooll4864]

Nazareth are one of the early 70s hard rock pioneers often overlooked and sometimes almost forgotten about and not included with the likes of Zeppelin, Deep Purple, Sabbath and Heep. Most of my favourites come from that 70z period, featuring fir me their best line up of McCafferty, Agnew, Charlton and Sweet (with Cleminson added for No Mean City). Rather partial to Move Me from the latter period. 1 Hair Of The Dog 2 Razzamanazz 3 Expect No Mercy 4 No Mean City 5 Rampant 6 Playin' The Game 7 Close Enough For RocknRoll 8 Loud N Proud 9 Nazareth 10 Move Me.

[@michaelgundersen1809]

[@stuarthecht8196]

Great job as always, Pete! My own favorite Nazareth album has always been Razamanaz- Side One is what I would consider to be "the perfect album side." But I gotta say, "Miss Misery" is one of MY favorite songs, too! Also, I would have ranked Rampant much higher- love that album. Nazareth is perhaps the greatest under-recognized rock band ever!

[@janandd1]

The mighty Naz !!!! I've got that shirt ! Great Rodney Matthews art !

[@marciopainhas5828]

I loved this band when I was young; reminds me dancing parties. The song Sunshine is iconic for me. So...Hair of the Dog and Telegram are the best songs of the band. Classics!

[@nathanjackson4480]

Thanks so much for this list. I totally agree with your picks. Nazareth’s 70s stuff was amazing but their sound really changed in the 80s. You did mention a couple later albums that I need to check out. Thanks. Love these album ranking videos

[@davidwormley9314]

Pete!!! You did not mention the tune FAST CARS from Malice....love that tune

[@user-yx8cx6bg1g]

Pretty much agree all the way through to #1. Nothing tops "Hair Of The Dog" That album is Nazareth's Back In Black, Ziggy Stardust, Zoso, Rumours, Moving Pictures, etc. And I'm so with you about MISS MISERY. Killer song! I was soooooo into that one as a ROCK loving kid in the mid 70s! But then, you've still got other stone classics like Changin' Times, Beggars Day, Whiskey Drinkin' Woman and Please Don't Judas Me to go. Sublime album with brilliant production. And yeah, "Expect No Mercy" at #2 is accurate as well. The title track may be their greatest song ever, while the rest of that record is consistent and compliments it well. Razamanaz, Loud & Proud, PTG, Close Enough, No Mean City, etc. following, dead on. A stellar ranking indeed. I also agree that everything after "Malice in Wonderland" is a hit and miss affair, with "Cinema" being the best of the lot. *One thing about 1998's "Boogaloo". The lead off single (that you did not mention) is quite good, and to me, a bit of a throwback to the 1970s. Marc ⚡

[@GonzoAmerican]

No Jive and Boogaloo are WAY better than most of their 80’s albums IMO.

Yeah cant argue with your list (yet again) and agree with your suggestions for those who are newbies to Nazareth. I do have them all - didnt get them when first out but collected when they put them all out back in the late 90's. My favourite Nazareth moment is when teh opened their BBC In cocnert set with Telgram back in 1978 (I think or could have been 80) and as such Close enough for rock n roll is a favourite - I love Manny Charltons playing on that one,the way they sampled in a snippet of my flight tonight and the weaving in of so you want to be a rock n roll star into it - great stuff .

Nazareth's NO MEAN CITY was the reason I became to have rock'n'roll as a hobby, in 1979, I was 13 y.o. I had already at that time some pleasure by listening, but until that moment no curiosity about names of bands and artists - the exception was The Beatles. My list has just 14 albums; the others mean nothing to me. 14 Boogaloo 13 Loud 'n' Proud 12 Exercises 11 The Fool Circle 10 Close Enough for Rock 'n' Roll 9 Nazareth 1st 8 Expect No Mercy 7 Play 'n' the Game 6 2XS 5 Malice in Wonderland 4 Rampant 3 Hair of the Dog 2 Razamanaz 1 No Mean City

Criminally underrated band. So much great stuff in their 70s catalog. Malice was the beginning of the end for them...

[@user-fi7ju4nj9b]

One of the greatest bands of the greatest decade of rock. Malice was a cliff dive for them, although they still had many good songs and a few good albums over the following decades. After No Mean City, I was REALLY looking forward to the next album. I was so enraged by how terrible Malice was that I opened a window, grabbed the album off my turntable, and flung it outside, smashing it into the trunk of a tree. To this day, I can still remember how satisfying that felt.

[@patrickwalsh3655]

@@user-fi7ju4nj9b Hilarious - like that.

[@tp3922]

One thing that I really liked about Nazareth was their totally uniqueness .... no two album sounded the same. Hands down - my top two favorite albums are ..... #2. Hair Of The Dog #1. The Fool Circle #4. Razamanaz and #3. Close Enough For Rock 'N' Roll are likely very close (near tie breakers in position). The others - an album may have a good song or two, but like Pete nailed it with most of their albums (they needed something extremely hard and heavy) lack anything to make it a good album overall.

Only know their early stuff. I lived opposite Pete Agnew when he was in the Shadettes and we used to hear them practising in the upstairs bedroom. I may have heard some of the early stuff live at home. Also saw the band which became "The Sensational Alex Harvey Band" - Tear Gas. The first band I ever saw, back in 1970. "Alcatraz" was the song that really got to me. Hard rock at its best.

Sorry to be so late on this. Have been on a real Nazareth kick lately. I think your placement of the rankings was excellent.

One thing through the years, because they were such a unique band, I always wanted to hear anything new from them. Always intriguing. And as I look back in retrospect I try and also realize the trends that were taking place at the time musically. They tried on many occasion to capture the current sound.

How is it solid when he put No Jive dead last

[@belucena528]

The catch is a excellent album, my favourite song is this month messiah.🤘

I love Nazareth!!🎤🎸🎵🥁

[@dreamsdreams9493]

Seasoned metalheads have always acknowledged Black Sabbath's first album (1970) as the genesis of heavy metal. Nonetheless, in my opinion Nazareth's first album (1971) is the one which sparked the genre. Do you concur?? I also consider that Nazareth was a far better band than Black Sabbath in terms of musicianship and creativity. Do you Pete and people second my thoughts?? Greetings.

Pete-you are killin' it again with your comprehensive (damn, Nazareth freakin' lives in the studio!) breakdown of their catalog, and as I have recently picked up most of their 70's prime material, I have NOT heard No Mean City! I will now buy it with light speed, as well as a few others that you hipped me to that flew under the radar. The main thing with Nazareth is McCafferty's exceptional voice, and the versatility he shows in using it.....plus, Manny is a very tasty player with some surprising tones and textures to his varied arsenal. Cheers for all the musical insight! Treff How about doin' some Cheap Trick stuff?

Great shirt pete

[@roberthachtel4465]

Your videos are always entertaining. 3 rankings I'd like to see. Ozzy solo, Overkill & Twisted Sister

[@dang.7964]

Awesome run down. Got a soft spot for Malice, but Raz is my #1. No Mean City is blistering. Good stuff!

[@williamhuard3860]

Saw them in 1981 with Alvin Lee They were raw and loud Very impressed

[@Davy.J.Y]

Hair of the Dog is a very special album indeed..

[@malstarr5107]

Great Stuff Pete. Nazareth have and will always be in my top 5 bands of all time. Totally agree with the split on early and later albums. When originally collecting the vinyl in the 70's the 1st album not to deliver was 2XS given the quality of the catalogue up until then but I continued to collect all the way up until the last album (agree with the comment on Dan's replacement) Move Me, Fool's circle and Snakes and Ladders I would have put up higher then some but I respect your list. Rampant not in the top 5 a little concerning also. Love your work mate... My top 5 1. Hair of The Dog 2. Rampant 3. Razamanaz 4. Expect No Mercy 5. No Mean City

Always enjoy hearing people's opinions on their likes/loves of music. I own all the Nazareth albums, as well, except the last one. Such an underrated band with so many classic songs. However, I LOVE some of their later releases, with "2XS" (Back To The Trenches, Games, Preservation, Love Leads to Madness), "The Catch" (Last Exit Brooklyn, Moondance, This Month's Messiah, Love of Freedom), "Boogaloo" (Light Comes Down, Talk Talk, Party in the Kremlin, Waiting, May Heaven Keep You) and "Rock N Roll Telephone" (Boom Bang Bang, Back 2b4, Punch A Hole in the Sky, Long Long Time, Speakeasy) being some of my personal favorites. Long live the voice of the late, great Dan McCafferty. \m/

Hey Pete, your show is keeping me sane in a world where people and their paranoia scares me more than some silly virus. Thank you for the CCR rundown, have always been curious about them, please could you do a JJ Cale album ranking? Ta.

[@jaysonraphaelmurdock8812]

Yes Miss Misery rules! Expect No Mercy was introduced to me by my aunt who passed away years ago so that album has a particular place in my heart. Also that album cover is awesome. I think it's Frank Frazetta art. Or maybe Valleo?

[@mrossineto]

What a great band! Thanks for this video.

[@barrysmith152]

Great list Pete - glad to see Expect No Mercy so hi on your list! My top 5 would have to be Hair, Rampant, Expect, Close, and LoudProud. Keep up the good work!
