Hordes Of The Great Unwashed

A Listmania! list by A. B. Kennedy (UK)
 
Pilgrimage
1.  Pilgrimage by Wishbone Ash
The list author says:
  "Ash's 2nd album, & a real cracker. They never recorded anything like this again. Largely instrumental with crazy scat jazz vocals and top playing. Only let down by a stodgy blues number at the end."
£5.77   Used & New from: £3.19
4.2 out of 5 stars  See all reviews (9 customer reviews)

Death Walks Behind You...Plus
2.  Death Walks Behind You...Plus by Atomic Rooster
The list author says:
  "Church hammond keys all over this gem. Fuzzed heavy guitar and great drumming. Most of the tracks deal with depression, loneliness, death, madness - it's truly bleak, brilliant and seriously rocks"
Used & New from: £17.68

Salisbury
3.  Salisbury by Uriah Heep
The list author says:
  "Uriah Heep's most diverse, experimental and raw album. Bird of Prey has insane group falsetto vocal runs, the guitar is rough as a badger's posterior and the Hammond is fantastic. Treat yourself!"
£5.47   Used & New from: £4.41
4.1 out of 5 stars  See all reviews (12 customer reviews)

Wishbone Ash
4.  Wishbone Ash by Wishbone Ash
The list author says:
  "Ash's first album, and what a debut! All the Ash trademarks are there; harmony vocals, duel guitars, superb drumming. But unlike with the Argus album, here they remembered to plug in their guitars."
£7.49   Used & New from: £6.19
4.8 out of 5 stars  See all reviews (13 customer reviews)

Cressida
5.  Cressida by Cressida
The list author says:
  "How often is 'lost gem' tagged onto any old forgotten piece of musical nonsense? Well in this case it really applies. Think Moody Blues as a basis, and then actually add top drawer songs into the mix."
Used & New from: £13.07
5.0 out of 5 stars  See all reviews (1 customer review)

Doremi Fasol Latido: Remastered
6.  Doremi Fasol Latido: Remastered by Hawkwind
The list author says:
  "Hawkwind's finest studio hour. Lemmy's bass is ferocious. If ever you find yourself trapped in a space capsule, this would be the soundtrack to your decent into madness."
£4.36   Used & New from: £3.14
4.8 out of 5 stars  See all reviews (19 customer reviews)

Paranoid
7.  Paranoid by Black Sabbath
The list author says:
  "Yes it's got Paranoid and War Pigs. But tracks like Planet Caravan, Hand of Doom and Electric Funeral are all must haves."
Used & New from: £2.77
4.5 out of 5 stars  See all reviews (70 customer reviews)

Split: Remastered
8.  Split: Remastered by Groundhogs
The list author says:
  "I suspect a theme of madness running through these albums! Groundhogs, ode to Schitzophenia. It's sound is raw and dirty. Power trio music with the emphasis on POWER. Nice..."
£4.93   Used & New from: £3.44
4.7 out of 5 stars  See all reviews (19 customer reviews)

May Blitz
9.  May Blitz by May Blitz
The list author says:
  "May Blitz first album. Again a great example of early heavy metal. When to be a British rock fan meant living in a grey trench coat. Ahh those were the days."
£9.85   Used & New from: £7.71

Piledriver
10.  Piledriver by Status Quo
The list author says:
  "Quo's best. This is the balancing album between the psych early blues boogie, and the parady they would become. Big Fat Mamma is great, and Roadhouse Blues really grooves."
£4.99   Used & New from: £3.72
4.8 out of 5 stars  See all reviews (17 customer reviews)

Quatermass
11.  Quatermass by Quatermass & The Pit
The list author says:
  "Not really rock, but if you love hammond / keyboard driven music from the early 70's then this is a must. No guitar. Thick pounding bass and great vocals. Well worth a chance buy."
£11.83   Used & New from: £8.00
4.7 out of 5 stars  See all reviews (7 customer reviews)

Yeti: Remastered
12.  Yeti: Remastered by Amon Duul II
The list author says:
  "As far from Tangerine Dream as you could get. This has more in common with early Hawkwind. Fuzzed guitars, nonsense song titles and crazy female backing vocals. IN GERMAN. Brilliant!!"
£10.14   Used & New from: £7.78
4.4 out of 5 stars  See all reviews (11 customer reviews)

Bedside Manners Are Extra
13.  Bedside Manners Are Extra by Greenslade
The list author says:
  "Again Greenslade are more prog than rock, but this album just smells of early 70's music. 2 keyboard players and vocals that could only have existed in 1972. This is great stuff"
£5.57   Used & New from: £3.00
4.6 out of 5 stars  See all reviews (7 customer reviews)

Rocka Rolla
14.  Rocka Rolla by Judas Priest
The list author says:
  "Long before there was Breaking the Law or Hell Bent for Leather there was this; their first LP and a really dated, fuzzy, dirty sounding LP it is too. WahWah, Lesley cabinets, and Rob's pipes. Heaven."
Used & New from: £19.75

Fuzzy Duck
15.  Fuzzy Duck by Fuzzy Duck
The list author says:
  "A real hammond fest. If you love Heep and Rooster then this album will not disappoint."

Time Will Be Your Doctor: Rare Recordings
16.  Time Will Be Your Doctor: Rare Recordings by Tucky Buzzard
The list author says:
  "A fantastic UK band now sadly forgotten. Whisky vocals ala Rod Stewart, tasty organ and guitar, plus some excellent orchestration similar to Caravan's New Symphonia. Check it out."
Used & New from: £51.13

Live At The Isle Of Wight 1970
17.  Live At The Isle Of Wight 1970 by Jethro Tull
The list author says:
  "Tull absolutely rip into this concert with the gusto of men possessed."
£6.99   Used & New from: £5.75
4.0 out of 5 stars  See all reviews (2 customer reviews)

Flying
18.  Flying by UFO
The list author says:
  "In the mists of time (before Michael Schenker that is) UFO were a bluesy space rock band with the needle firmly pointing to 'Jam'.Very very dated. But that's why I like it so much."
£6.89   Used & New from: £4.59
3.5 out of 5 stars  See all reviews (2 customer reviews)

Power Of The Picts
19.  Power Of The Picts by Writing on the Wall
The list author says:
  "Late 60's underground rock from the Middle Earth house band. Great hammond sound and a real raw live feel to the songs. Plus a jamfest reworking of Zodiac's 'Aries'.  Really recommended."
£15.00   Used & New from: £8.26
3.8 out of 5 stars  See all reviews (5 customer reviews)

Lucifer's Friend
20.  Lucifer's Friend by Lucifer's Friend
The list author says:
  "This band are that long searched for, but often overlooked, link between Deep Purple, Uriah Heep, and some sort of evil pixie creature, all mixed together by Lurch and Uncle Festor. Buy Now!"
Used & New from: £12.98

Dust [Digisleeve][Remastered][Bonus trk]
21.  Dust [Digisleeve][Remastered][Bonus trk] by Dust
The list author says:
  "The only US band to make it onto the list. Not as heavy as the cover would suggest. Bit too reliant on the meandering jam. But Love Me Hard is a brilliant track, & the drumming is fantastic."
£12.73   Used & New from: £7.72
5.0 out of 5 stars  See all reviews (1 customer review)

Stray
22.  Stray by Stray
The list author says:
  "Stray's 1st album is soaked in blistering wah wah guitar and is a brilliant example of the sort of rock coming out of the UK  at the start of the 70's. Play this one really loud for maximum effect!"
£5.77   Used & New from: £4.50
4.9 out of 5 stars  See all reviews (10 customer reviews)
