Wrong Planet, Day 1
Signs of life. I have made contact with some of its inhabitants. They appear to be friendly.
Specifically looking for lifeforms that closely mimic my variety of "oddity."
These would be kindreds who grasp the minutia of the greatest era of rock and roll, starting with the British Invasion and ending just before the era of Glam. If you are here, give me a sign

How obscure can you get on this era my friends?
Uriah Heep was a more recently (within the last 5 years) discovered gem. Unsurprisingly, something in the water was festering in the UK from the mid 60s to mid 70s and even those who did not quite rise to a level of stardom to break into the US charts were still absolutely amazing. Same with The Fairport Convention, who's lead singer Sandy Denny's vocals are most recognizable as the harmony on Led Zeppelin's The Battle of Evermore. Ah, such were the days of real music.

Nice intro. Welcome. Unfortunate that you chose to live on the wrong coast, but we all make mistakes I suppose.

I like Heavy Metal (did you know that Black Sabbath's original name was the "Polka Tulk Blues Band"?) but silly 70s pop has my heart.

I adore Sweet

This song was my big obsession about 2 months ago. The single, "Hellraiser" with its B side "Burning" is good stuff too. "Blockbuster" similarly good. Generally I dig to find an artist's deep tracks or eclipsed singles that didn't rise to the level of fame as their chart toppers. I almost always like these tracks more. They are typically more musically interesting. Makes sense, the mass of people usually don't have such a profound ear for music so hits are usually catchy and everything else an artist makes is their real work.
