I should probably like Pentagram more than I do, but Bobby is so insufferable. I have owed all of these, but now just have my top 2 and the comps I mention later. 8) Last Rites 7) Curious Volume 6) Sub-Basement 5) Review Your Choices 4) Show 'Em How 3) Pentagram/Relentless (I rarely listen to anything lower on my list) 2) Be Forewarned 1) Day of Reckoning Really, my favorites by far are the First Daze Here, Vol 1 & 2 comps.

If you got a turntable- and $100 burning a hole in your pocket- see if you can find the original mix of "Day of Reckoning" with the late Stuart Rose on drums. Since I first heard that original analog version that's the one I prefer. (None of the reissues feature Rose' drum tracks.)

20 Buck Spin is a phenomenal song, and a phenomenal label (and imo a lot of the best stuff they put out are death/doom and OSDM albums, though almost everything they put out is great). I’m a little ashamed to admit that I’ve only ever listened to Pentagram’s debut album, and that’s it. I love doom metal, and basically all of the various doom sub-genres, and doom hybrid sub-genres, and the proto-doom, and OG Doom Metal Gods, yet for whatever reason I’ve just never explored Pentagram’s catalogue, and I know they’re just essential to the genre.. I’m too distracted by other artists, genre be damned; I know that’s why I’ve never done so ultimately, but I really do need to rectify that. I suppose this is as good as any guide to know where to start, but then again what’s ultimately gonna determine that is whatever of their stuff is on Apple Music, bc I cannot afford pretty much any other option.. Anyway, I’m still new to y’all’s content, but I dig it. Looks like there’s a lot of cool stuff to explore here. 🤘✌️❤️♾

Weird that Sabbath were very popular in the States but the homegrown version who were pretty much just as good got nowhere. From what I remember they had a deal lined up with Columbia but Liebling 'had a moment' and they pulled it - sadly his personality disorder basically prevented him from becoming as successful as he should have.

Very few bands openly name check Blue Cheer as their MAIN influence, but Pentagram was one of them. And that made me, a Blue Cheer fan, very happy to know that. Their major goal when they started was to take what Blue Cheer did on the first two albums and progress it into the 70s. Their other influences are somewhat unconventional for a metal group--they really dug the Velvet Underground and the Stooges as well

It should be noted that a great deal of songs done on the albums that exclusively credit Bobby as the sole writer more than likely were written some time in the 70’s, and there are lots of songs that he’s written (performed on demos, rehearsals and bootlegs) that should get there dues.

Pentagram have been one of my favourite bands for years, and I'm pretty on board with this ranking (although I'd say I prefer Sub-Basement over Last Rites - I believe Sub-Basement is also Bobby's favourite Pentagram album). But it's hard to pick a favourite album when they're all so chock-full of amazing songs. In case people don't know, just about every Pentagram album (other than Relentless) is at least 50% old stuff Bobby wrote in the 70s and the rest is material they wrote as Death Row, music they wrote for the album or in Be Forewarned's case, a lot of the "new" songs were demos Victor Griffin had recorded for his first solo album. I say this because they have such a wealth of great old, unrecorded material to fall back on that if we get another Pentagram album soon, it will also likely have songs written way back in the 70s. I have a few rehearsals from that era on my channel if anyone is interested in checking them out. It's fascinating to hear how many songs on the studio albums sounded in their infancy, and what they might have been if they were recorded 10 years earlier.
