I didn't want to step on the Montrose thread. I loved the "Best Of Gamma" disc for years, but until I got the three originals I didn't realize how different they were.
Gamma I is like mid period (late Rogers) Bad Co.; pretty good if you like that sort of thing.
Gamma II is bluesy almost metal, like a cross beteen Deep Purple & Trower. It's the best one IMO.
Gamma III is very slick, lots of synths. Almost AOR like Howe era Bad co. I like it though too.

I LOVE Gamma! Ronnie Montrose is so under-rated! Gamma 2 is by far the best!!! And of course having Davy Pattison on Vox will help give that Robin Trower vibe!

With Jimmy Alvacar on Keys I think Ronnie's intention was to bridge the gap between 70's Bluesy Hard Rock and The Cars, much like Rundgren was doing with Utopia! The drastic differances in each album simply shows he was not yet sure how to best make the mix work!
