I'll vote for Uriah Heep, but their albums are generally rather inconsistent, to my tastes: one or two or even three great tracks per albums but quite some duds everywhere. Their highs are very high, though. Edit: oh well, I said something similar before, and voted accordingly... Edited by suitkees - September 18 2023 at 11:05 |

I've never really given any Uriah Heep-album a real listen (I own
Demons and Wizards, but can't remember much about it). Which is kind of
strange. Maybe I should do something about that. It
not the biggest fan, Traffic has has couple of classic albums I enjoy.
But I shouldn't vote. However it says "you have already voted in this
poll" - so I must have done that anyway:)

I agree there's a lot of stuff out there, and Uriah Heep is still one of those things. I also get back to classic Heep sometimes, the Byron era albums are still a treat for me.

I wouldn't disagree, but there's lots of good stuff out there to be listened to, Cristi. As I've said before, I realise that 98% of the prog music being produced, I'll never hear and I don't really have a 'fear of missing out'. When it comes to Heep, growing up, I'd heard everything up to about 1990, but very little after.

Why? Their 21st century albums are quite good.

Heep, although I've not listened to them in years. Used to like a bit of Steve Winwood solo, back in the day...

I own heaps (oh-oh, no pun intended) of releases from both these bands but I return to Traffics output much more than Heaps, particularly for Chris Woods contributions.
I love the "pastoral" feel they got in a lot of their mid-period songs, and I find them a lot more nuanced than Uriah Heap. I really like nuance.

Traffic. John Barleycorn is one of my all-time favorite albums. Low Spark also has been spun a fair bit on the turntable through the years.

Only know Heep, seen them live 3 or 4 times and enjoying their most recent album release. Gypsy is an out and out classic, kinda of their trump card in the live shows!

Traffic. I tried finishing the water heater, but I needed room for cookies and things arranged by smell.

The Heep has/had about three times the amount of stuff Traffic did, and was more of a band, rather than a few guys. A lot heavier and more adventurous / prog. too.

Agreed. Sadly, I doubt that many folks will go back and listen to TRAFFIC as much as they will the harder and more rock oriented URIAH HEEP ... The band TRAFFIC was much more important to a lot of the music scene, than UH ever was. AND, it deserved its accolades.

Music is not just for listening ... it is for LIVING ... you got to feel it to know what's it about! Not being told!
