    ^ Nice.

    I picked up the first Subsignal album, being a fan of Sieges Even, and dug it a lot. Somehow I'd managed to lose track of them and they fell off my radar. I'll have to remedy that and snag the rest of their catalog.

    Anyone remember E-Z-O from Japan? Gene Simmons produced their debut album. I still really enjoy it. Didn't follow up with any of their later releases though.
    Can't find a video of my favorite song, "Desiree", besides a cover version with a guitar student. Bummer. Good stuff, though.

The only hit here in the U.S. from that period was “Little Willy” (that I ever heard anyway). Then about the time “Desolation Boulevard” was released they turned in a much harder rocking direction. Then the last couple of albums toyed with a little bit of prog (The full version of “Love Is Like Oxygen” is a good example), and a generally more mature (for lack of a better word) sound. I still love Sweet to this day and think they were vastly underrated. On the other hand, I had never even heard of Slade until Quiet Riot covered “Come On Feel The Noise”. They seemed to have a very small profile in this country.

    "Mama Weer All Crazee Now" got airplay in Cleveland in the 70s.

    It was called "glitter-rock" back in the day. The term is almost forgotten now, perhaps because that icon of the movement, Gary Glitter, now is a hated figure due to his sexual crimes. Now it is called glam-rock, although glam-rock the term originally referred to way more artsy stuff like David Bowie with his Ziggy Stardust persona, Marc Bolan & T. Rex, Lou Reed, Alice Cooper, Roxy Music and so on; there wasn't that artiness in glitter-rock stuff like Gary Glitter, Sweet, Suzi Quatro, Slade and so on.

    Yea, it's odd isn't it how certain bands translate across the pond and others don't. For example, back in the 70s and 80s bands like Kansas and Saga were to all intents and purposes unknown or at least hardly known in the UK. In fact, the first time I heard of Kansas was when my wife told me one day in 84 or 85 that she'd seen a Christian rock band called Kansas somewhere in Missouri in 83 and got the autograph of some dude called Kerry Livgren, who knew her friend, after the gig. At which point I turned down Neil blaring out Like A Hurricane and asked, "Who dafug are Kerry Livgren and Kansas?"

    I still have the cassette that I recorded Angel's KBFH show on in 1976 via KSHE 95. the audio from The Fortune Svet posted is from that show. they played Chicken Soup, The Fortune and White Lightning. got the bootleg eventually. it was disappointing that The Fortune wasn't included on Live Without A Net but Tower was killer. love the chemistry between Barry and Greg on that live version...still gives me chills. KSHE used the beginning of it in their station ID for years.

    Yeah, it's a damn shame Angel lost the script after their first two albums. Killer progressive stuff and then the songs got shorter and shriller and the production went down the tubes after that.

    I guess Casablanca might have had something to do with that. I would never have guessed they were from DC. I thought Barry Brandt was a beast on the kit. Punky just released a new one last month but haven't got a clue what it sounds like.

    This is still an all-time favorite. They incorporated the jazz fusion into the metal so effectively.
