No one else on the BLIND ILLUSION?!

You all can go suck a railroad spike

They're one of those bands that I've always heard much ABOUT over the years but never actually HEARD.

Smashed Gladys

They had 2 albums - a s/t came out a couple of years before Social Intercourse. Some songs from 'Social' actually came from the s/t but were re-worked.

The s/t has a great cover of T Rex's Metal Guru too. Anyway, both are great

My pick is the Hollywood Brats.

They totally mauled Metal Guru, i thought it was horrible. Smashed Gladys only had two songs i cared for, both the Dogs/Faces like "Legs Up" and "17 Goin' On Crazy".

Damn right about the Hollywood Brats, doing what the NY Dolls were doing at the same time in the UK. They eventually morphed into excellent punk popsters The Boys.

HARLOW- s/t
AGENTS OF OBLIVION- s/t




2 of my faves that come to mind...

Bad Romance

Featuring Joanna Dean

Haha, oh they mauled it alright - ah well I think it's fun anyways

I always thought it was amusing that 17 Going On Crazy got reworked so much. The original version from the s/t sounds nothing like the Faces-isms of the Social Intercourse version. Instead it's a huge Gary Glitter/Slade-like glam-stomper.

Didn't know that - cool.

Rising Faith-The Arrival
Arkangel-Warrior (Kemper Crabb's [Atomic Opera/Radiohalo] 70s prog rock band)
Zion-Thunder From The Mountain

I remembered Kemper Crabb's projet after Arkangel fell through:

Radiohalo-Illumination

Such a talented musician for his projects to fall away. Of course a lot of what happend was caused by his wife leaving him.

Has anyone mentioned this one yet? If not, it definitely qualifies. This disc is a bona fide classic IMO.
There's been talk of a new album for years now but at this point I almost hope it never happens because a follow up will never come close to matching the majesty of this baby

Recon.... good choice.
