In fact, I ended up scanning Uriah Heep records. I've been meaning to get to know better for quite some time... Now that's more like it!

Demons and Wizards is the fourth album by British rock band Uriah Heep, released in 1972 by Bronze Records in the UK and Mercury Records in the US. The album helped the band become famous and has sold 3 million copies worldwide. The songs " The Wizard" and " Easy Livin'" were released as singles in the UK and North America as well as many other markets. "Easy Livin'" entered the US Top 40 at No. 39, making it Heep's first and only American hit. "Easy Livin'" was also a mega-hit in the Netherlands and Germany, countries which were becoming strong markets for the band.

As a cure for listening to some of Bat Out Of Hell the other night I dived straight into some Zappa. Bat Out Of Hell is kind of operatic and kitschy, but the problem to me is it takes itself a little too seriously. Zappa managed to pull off a much higher level of ridiculousness but with much better music and he did it with his tongue firmly in his cheek.

I liked the album, but my room mate in the Air Force played it incessantly. It got old, quick.
Kinda like me.
And Bapu.

That is a terrible album cover. I reckon Roger Dean got his nephew to do that one.

So, Uriah Heep is a band I avoided under the assumption that the music was mostly metal (but a they've got a really cool name for a band nevertheless if you know the Dickens character of the same name). Am I wrong about their genre and maybe check their old albums out? If it's metal, I have zero interest, but some of you here seem to think there's merit in their music, so maybe I've been laboring under an invalid understanding of what they're all about.

They weren't metal at all, they seemed like a cross between the Moody Blues and Wishbone Ash to me, but nowhere near as good as either.

OK, I'll confess I rather like Bat out of Hell - although I haven't listened to it in years. In general, I always thought the collaborations of Meatloaf and Jim Steinman produced some pretty intense successes. For that matter, Jim Steinman's efforts without Meatloaf were worthy of attention in all cases I ever encountered.
I think Steinman might be the problem for me. I remember hearing "Total Eclipse of the Heart" on the radio not too long ago and realizing I didn't like it because it reminded me of Meat Loaf. I also saw that he had collaborated with Andrew Lloyd Weber, and I share the same views as Neil Finn on the matter.
Mumpcake is on to something here....

It has "sixth form art project" written all over it.
