Sweet Freedom (1973) URIAH HEEP - Although quite far from the importance of his glorious albums 1971 and 1972 (four splendid LPs like "Salisbury", "Look At Yourself", "Demons And Wizards" and "The Magician's Birthday"), the hard rock band and progressive Uriah Heep, and more when they are reedited.
One of them is the underestimated "Sweet Freedom" (1973), disc produced by Gerry Bron (in its Bronze Records seal) in which it sounds the subject "Stealin '", song from the perspective of an outlaw written by the teclista Ken Hensley with David Byron's voice.

I don't think that The Electric Light Orchestra's "A New World Record" was an underrated album! It got excellent reviews, it sold very well and the group lifted off to new horizons. Hi Martin53 !! I mean it's not an album that is very considerate. Had successes, yes !!! but it's a very forgotten album, and I think very few people would tell you that the song "Livin 'Thin" is on this album. In general, almost all albums of the Electric Light Orchestra are greatly underestimated especially their progressive albums "ELO I" and "ELO 2". Well it was a worldwide success therefore it can't be forgotten. People who bought it will remember the songs.

Martin53, I do not discuss it, but I mean the new audience that do not have it among their favorites ... and the criticism does not put it as a masterpiece as this incredible album is, and that I prefer Eldorado !!!, but that does not mean that the other is a musical gem.

Ten Years After - "A Space In Time - 1971" is one of his key works and begins with "One Of These Days", vibrant instrumental interaction for this passionate blues-rock. We changed the record in "Here They Come", hypnotic psychedelic.
The masterpiece of the album is "I'd Love To Change The World", spectacular single that masterfully blends blues-rock with lisergia making us part of a six-string exhibition by its author.
Another highlight is "Over The Hill", beautiful baroque-orchestral ballad with exuberant string arrangements followed by "Baby Will not You Let Me Rock'n'Roll You", enthusiastic rock & roll with glam Slade.
Alvin Lee again shine as guitarist in "Once There Was a Time", great blues with riff based on the classic "Raunchy" by Bill Justis.
It's the riff of "Good Morning Little Schoolgirl" by Sonny Boy Williamson that seems to inspire Lee in "Let The Sky Fall", interesting blues with tempo variations, excellent solo by Alvin and psychedelic arrangements.
"Hard Monkeys" is a sensitive acid theme reminiscent of some pieces of Traffic, while "I've Been There Too" is a stylish composition with outstanding use of keyboard and bass in addition to great vocal performance.
This exceptional album ends with "Uncle Jam", a relaxing short-term jazz instrument composed by the whole group that once again reveals their instrumental ability.

"A Space In Time" was Ten Years After's best selling album ever!

"A Space In Time" was Ten Years After's best selling album ever! It's true, Martin !!!, but nobody talks about this album when we talk about music in general.

Yes - 90125
A sensational pop-rock album. 90125 is a complete aberration in the convoluted history of Yes and all the better for it.
With guitarist Trevor Rabin on board much of the material was written for a project called Cinema that was being put together by Rabin and Yes bassist Chris Squire. But with the late addition of Jon Anderson's vocals the Cinema name was dropped and a brand new futuristic Yes was born.

Bryan Adamas – Cuts Like A Knife
Great songs here regretfully only the title track tends to get mentioned these days. One of his best albums before he hit big with „Reckless“.

Genesis - From Genesis To Revelation. A criminally dismissed first album by a fledgling Genesis with not a bad track on it.
It has been very nearly written out of Genesis history and for the life of me I just cannot see why.

I couldn't agree more. Furthermore the record has stood the test of time!
