A great bit of Irish Prog.

First album I ever bought, not necessarily my favourite album cover. Saw them on OGWT and instantly hooked

But this from a a year or so later always made me smile as a young lad, teenage lad humour I suppose - still makes me grin 40+ years later

Rings of Saturn always do a good album cover.

I also love these indecipherable black metal logos. Points for anyone who can work out this band's name (no Google allowed).

View attachment 36194Never owned or heard a Budgie album but love the covers.

I like the early albums, I first saw them in 1974, for me once Tony Bourge left in 1978, they were never quite as good

Agreed, although his replacement, John Thomas (yes, that really was his name!!) Was a superb guitarist and the first couple of albums with him are pretty good!!

Never heard a Budgie Album? Shame on you One of the most underrated and yet influential heavy rock bands that started the genre.
I suggest you start with Never Turn Your Back on a Friend. Tony Bourge is one of my favourite ever guitarists and the and were so tight.
By coincidence I think it's his birthday today.

THE best Budgie album by far. Closely followed by Bandolier.

 

[Galena]

John Thomas (yes, that really was his name!!) Was a superb guitarist and the first couple of albums with him are pretty good!!

Agreed, not quite the got the feel or tone of TB but nevertheless a very good guitarist that fit in well with Budgie, unlike some of the others sadly.
Simon Lees I didn't know much about but he seemed to keep it true to Tony Bourge, Craig Goldy though was just not a good fit and really slaughtered some of the original material. A shame what happened to Burke Shelley, I do wish him well but I doubt Budgie will ever play again.

I love Rush! I was thinking of posting the Farewell Kings LP. Whilst not my favourite Rush album (but still enjoy it) it's really good artwork.

I have an original copy of this and it is round like a tobacco tinView attachment 36237

I borrowed this from someone years ago and left it on the back seat of my car on a very hot day with the sun full on through the window, and was very embarrassed when I handed it back

I like this, the Arctic Monkeys album 'AM'. Nice play on Arctic Monkeys / Amplitude Modulation.
