| Articles: 1976 Articles |
Albatross - 1976 Albatross
|
|
We trace an American progressive rock band from Rockford Illinois called Albatross. The town, better known as the home of eternal pop rockers Cheap Trick, would have been none the wiser about this five man band, who were doing their damndest to emulate British outfits Yes and Emerson Lake And Palmer.
|
Alcatraz - 1976 Doing A Moonlight
 | | Formed from the ashes of Man and Quicksand, Alcatraz were a Welsh ensemble with a veritable hint of Californian west coast in the mix. |
Ambrosia - 1976 Somewhere I've Never Travelled
 | | It's been described as one of the best symphonic rock albums of the 70's. I wouldn't go quite that far, but it's not too far off the mark. |
Angel - 1976 Helluva Band
 | | The debut Angel album still rates highly with many of us, less talked about is the follow up 'Helluva Band'. produced by Derek Lawrence, who also worked on the debut Legs Diamond album around the same time, this is arguably Angel's most progressive album.. |
Automatic Man - 1976 Automatic Man
| |
An interesting mid-seventies outfit who had talent to boot, but too diverse to ultimate decide which direction to go. Automatic Man had the ability to mix fusion with funk and a crossover sound to make it changeable.
|
Bad Axe - 1976 Bad Axe
| |
If you were around the hard rock scene of Los Angeles during the mid-late 70's, then you may have run across this lot - called Bad Axe, put together by the duo of Dana Strum and Dave Carruth.
|
Beckies, The - 1976 The Beckies
|
|
Anyone remember The Chessman Square? Probably not and neither do I, but they were by all accounts a popular 60's-early 70's Kansas City, Missouri band that featured one Gary Hodgden, who would later find fame as one Gary West, of the band Shooting Star.
|
Black Sabbath - 1976 Technical Ecstacy
| |
'Technical Ecstacy' marked a turning point for Sabbath as they continued to move away from the heavy doom of the 1970-75 years and turned to a more traditional form of hard rock.
|
Blackfoot - 1976 Flyin' High
 | | This power house band of roughnecks left us some of the finest Southern rock under the sun and while 'Flyin High' flew under almost everyone's radar in 1976; it's one of their better efforts. |
Boston - 1976 Boston
|
|
Well, I would hazard a guess and say that the defining moment for the AOR movement and thereafter, lay at the feet of this 1976 recording by the then unknown local area band from Massachusetts; the aptly named Boston.
|
Breakfast - 1976 It's Time For Breakfast
 | | Produced by Krautrock icon Conny Plank, the record's ten tracks were written exclusively by guitarist Horst Schreiber and bassist Eberhard Voelz with a very American feel similar to contemporaries Karthago. The Breakfast sound is often funky, at times laid-back with lovely west coast harmonies and a country rock flavor. |
Brother Bait - 1976 Brother Bait
|
|
'Who is the world's best undiscovered pomp band?' was a question I'd pontificated on many a long dark winter evening. I managed to solve this personal conumdrum a couple of years ago when I acquired Brother Bait's debut.
|
Budgie - 1976 If I Were Brittania I'd Waive The Rules
 | | The 70's saw Budgie experiment with many styles, and to their credit record label A&M gave them a long leash, with a heap of albums released during this period, although 'Brittania..' is not as immediate as some of their other albums. |
Bux - 1976 We Come To Play
|
|
Taking a trip back in time to the seventies we uncover a local area band out of Boston called Bux, featuring future Angel alumni..
|
City Boy - 1976 City Boy
|
|
I suppose it would be difficult to imagine these guys would turn out to be one of the best British AOR bands in the history of rock, but that's exactly what happened..
|
Colosseum II - 1976 Strange New Flesh
| |
In a world dominated by Yes, Genesis, Jethro Tull and ELP, Colosseum were a groundbreaking band that often gets short changed in progressive rock history. Colosseum's mixture of rock, blues and jazz styles were not only groundbreaking in their originality, but powerful and at times devastatingly beautiful.
|
Dancer - 1976 Dancer
 | | Musically this is very much a light-as-air pop album that's actually quite good in spots. While Dancer won't shake the foundations of your house, it's a nice little record and worth picking up cheaply. |
Diamond REO - 1976 Dirty Diamonds
| |
The true spirit of unabashed 70's hard rock was captured by many a great band during the decade, but how many people ever stopped to consider this particular slab of vinyl in the high stakes game of 70's rarities?
|
Essex, David - 1976 Out On The Street
 | | Actor, singer and all around nice guy; David Essex reached his commercial zenith prior to 'Out On The Street', his fourth studio album. |
Fantacy Hill - 1976 Fantacy Hill
 | | There is very little on this obscure 70's band on the Internet. OK, correction, there is NOTHING on this band on the Internet.. lol! |
Fireballet - 1976 Two Too
|
|
It's hard to conceive that Fireballet approved of the album cover featuring themselves prancing around as ballerinas, but once exposed to this bombastic, marvelously over the top piece of 70's pomp/prog it's actually fitting.
|
Flight - 1976 Incredible Journey
| |
Imagine if Emerson Lake & Palmer had gone the fusion route and you will have a pretty good idea what Flight sound like.
|
Folsom, Robert Lester - 1976 Music And Dreams
 | | With well-received reissues and re-kindled interest Folsom has begun performing again, even making his way to New York to appreciative crowds. Let's hope we hear more from this late blooming pop genius in the future. |
Garfield - 1976 Strange Streets
 | | Imagine Supertramp and Pavlov's Dog in an intimate smoke-filled club and you have a good idea of what Garfield sound like. |
Gasolin' - 1976 Efter Endunu Ed Dag
|
|
From Denmark, we walk back in time with a band who are still recognised as one of the most successful rock bands the country ever produced.
|
Giants - 1976 Thanks For The Music
 | | 'Thanks For The Music' is essentially drab middle '70s radio rock with Southern touches and like a pocket of swamp gas - painful to digest. |
Grand Funk Railroad - 1976 Good Singin' Good Playin'
| |
On paper, combining the avant garde muso Frank Zappa with the ever patriotic and at times ham-fisted Grand Funk might appear like a train wreck from hell, but it's nothing short of genius.
|
Greene, Mike - 1976 Midnight Mirage
| |
As an example of Southern fusion, 'Midnight Mirage' is a good as it gets. Often you'll find Mike Greene in the Jazz sections of your local shop, or described as such by some internet sellers, but this is only partially true. This is heat-fried fusion with elements of world music and pop thrown on the fire.
|
Hamilton, Joe Frank And Dennison - 1976 Love And Conversation
 | | Superb pop from the trio formerly known as Hamilton, Joe Frank & Reynolds. |
Hammersmith - 1976 It's For You
 | | The first Hammersmith album released 1975 was an extension of Painter - retooled and renamed. Striking while the iron was hot 'It's For You' was released a year later and featured a new guitarist and drummer but the songs remained the same-solid no fuss, no muss maple leaf rock 'n' roll. |
Heart - 1976 Dreamboat Annie
| |
Two very attractive sisters into heavy rock and folk music form a band in Seattle, move to Canada and become 'Superstars'. Well it wasn't that easy of course, but that's essentially what happened with Heart..
|
Holmes, Rupert - 1976 Singles
| |
For his third album, Rupert Holmes was looking for hit single and so was his label - hence the tongue-in-cheek title. Personally, I think Holmes first four albums are genius, which includes this one.
|
Hummingbird - 1976 We Can't Go On Meeting Like This
| |
Hummingbird on this, the band's second album was essentially the Jeff Beck Group without Beck. Heavy on the jazz, blues and funk influences Hummingbird eclipsed most groups of the era not only due to the quality of the players, but the progressive rock vibe found in most of their work.
|
Jan Akkerman And Kaz Lux - 1976 Eli
 | | This is not an easy album to recommend even to Focus fans. Hard to know what the motives were behind such a project although I think Akkerman's penchant for experimentation might have got the best of him here. |
Journey - 1976 Look Into The Future
 | | With an album cover that reminds one of the old TV comedy show 'Get Smart', perhaps 'Look Into The Future' was more about the past rather than crystal ball gazing into the next 3-5 years. Certainly I don't think that Schon, Rolie and co had any concept of what looking into the future would entail on their respective timelines looking ahead. |
Kansas - 1976 Leftoverture
| |
Stepping up to the plate was their fourth LP 'Leftoverture', an album that would move Kansas into the big league. Though 'Leftoverture' would enable Kansas to navigate their music through radio, the album is still for the most part - very progressive and symphonic.
|
Kiss - 1976 Rock And Roll Over [NEW]
 | | >The album was the tonic Kiss fans were hoping for and the album went platinum quickly, leading into 1977 nicely where they would achieve their biggest success. |
Krokus - 1976 Krokus
| |
The Krokus heard here is far removed from their eventual direction in the 80's, with more progressive shades apparent, very typical of the period, with more than a passing nod to the likes of Yes or even Manfred Mann at their most explosive.
|
La Seine - 1976 Like The River
|
|
Very much a product of it's time, 'Like The River' tip toes through influences ranging from Orleans to Doobie Brothers boogie rock. For those of you old enough to remember, Jo Jo Gunne and the long forgotten Stankey Brown Group are good reference points as well
|
Limousine (Holland) - 1976 Limousine
 | | The Limousine LP is a quirky affair with all the pre-requisite 70's pop attributes. We get lots of stabbing piano work and light and fluffy passages. Good comparisons could be early Lake, or perhaps Shabby Tiger. |
Load, The - 1976 Praise The Load
| |
'Praise The Load' has long been considered one of the best American progressive albums. However, I'm not sure this album deserves that kind of credibility since it's far from the most original album I've heard, fitting square with most of the criticisms concerning progressive rock from America that the music was nothing more than copies of their British counterparts.
|
Locust - 1976 Playgue
|
|
'Playgue' is a curiosity at best. Of course collectors of obscure pomp and 'Ameriprog' will want this in their collections and if you enjoy the 70's sounds of Gypsy, Baby, Hush and Strongbow by all means seek out a copy.
|
Lofgren, Nils - 1976 Cry Tough
 | | Lofgren's back catalog is not without inconsistencies, but everything through and ending with 1985's 'Flip' is of interest although I suggest Starting with 'Cry Tough' .. |
Lone Star - 1976 Lone Star
| |
Here it is kiddies, one of the best British (Wales to be exact) hard rock bands to land on my turntable back in days of old. Lone Star had it all; talent, songs, charisma, you name it, yet they couldn't keep a sold line-up together which probably had something to do with their untimely demise, but damn if they didn't create some kick ass hard rock!
|
Lyall, William - 1976 Solo Casting
| |
William 'Billy' Lyall was the progressive minded keyboardist for pop rockers Pilot, a band I've slobbered over here at GD on several occasions. At the time 'Solo Casting' didn't set the world on fire, but in the years since has earned a cult following among pop lovers with numerous CD reissues, the most recent coming from Japan in the mini-LP sleeve format.
|
Mahogany Rush - 1976 Mahogany Rush IV
 | | Alongside Rush, Pat Travers Band pre Pat Thrall, Robin Trower, Truth And Janey, Mahogany Rush were one of the pre-eminent power trios of the 70's bar none, and I'll admit to finding and appreciating some of their earlier works, like this one. |
Man - 1976 Welsh Connection
| |
Welsh band Man, were influenced by the west coast U.S Psychedelic scene. Through several albums and tours, the band culminated their career with their final 1976 album 'Welsh Connection'.
|
Mann, Manfred (Earth Band) - 1976 The Roaring Silence
|
|
A varied approach overall but essentially a prog rock album at heart and one that shouldn't be overlooked. Thanks to 'Blinded By The Light' this album has become to many, the quintessential Earth band album, the musicianship arguably at its peak.
|
Marcus - 1976 Marcus
|
|
'Marcus' has been described as one of the most obscure, yet incredible hard rock releases of 1976, and yet, only the hardened trainspotters have any idea as to its existence.
|
Mariah - 1976 Mariah
| |
If you like acts such as Emperor, Starcastle, Doobie Brothers and Legs Diamond, then this beautiful 70's flavored album should move your world.
|
Max Webster - 1976 Max Webster
 | | Over the years, there have been some bands that have lived on the edge of wackiness throughout their career. Sadly ignored until now, Canada's Max Webster are a classic case in point. |
Metro - 1976 Metro
|
|
Metro created a masterwork of art rock with this, their first album..
|
Miles, John - 1976 Rebel
| |
While Miles 'Transition' album understandably attracts more attention from our readership with its traditional 80's melodic rock sound, for my money it's 'Rebel' and his following three albums 'Stranger In The City', 'Zaragon' and 'More Miles Per Hour' that I rank as his very best, each belonging in any serious collection.
|
Montrose - 1976 Jump On It
 | | Containing just eight tracks, 'Jump On It' contains none of the true-blue bluster of their earlier years. Instead, they seem to be aiming for the commercial hard rock market occupied by the likes Aerosmith and Heart during this mid 70's era, and one can't deny this given Jack Douglas' involvement. |
Mott - 1976 Shouting And Pointing
 | | This album is well worth re-appraising and probably is more influential to many groups not just in the UK, but especially the ones in America that would dominate the rock scene in the 80's. |
Movies, The - 1976 The Movies
| |
The Movies were out of place in 1976 and just one look at the back cover tells the story with three average looking guys dressed in funny hats. Not very rock n' roll, disco or even close to the safety pin minions starting to influence pop an ocean away, The Movies played music from another time, ten years too late to make their mark.
|
Natural Gas - 1976 Natural Gas
|
|
A veritable 'supergroup' long before the term was popularized; Natural Gas featured Joey Molland from Badfinger, drummer Jerry Shirley of Humble Pie, Mark Clarke, formerly of Uriah Heep and ex- Sutherland Brothers & Quiver keyboardist Peter Wood. An impressive line-up indeed.
|
Pablo Cruise - 1976 Lifeline
|
|
'Lifeline' is perfect music to brighten the dark days of winter.
|
Paris - 1976 Big Towne 2061
 | | Neither as dark nor dramatic as the remarkable debut; Paris was still vastly different from anything cranked out of the hard rock scene of the day and it's a weird record to be frank. |
Paris - 1976 Paris
|
|
Here we step into the realms of an album being overrated to the point of overblown. While 'Paris' isn't a bad album by any means it is far from the classic it is purported to be and descriptions of the band as one 'of the most devastating power trios ever' are somewhat laughable.
|
Peterik, Jim - 1976 Don't Fight The Feeling
 | | Dressed in what looks like groovy neon double-knit polyester offset by thick-piled shag carpet devouring his white strides; the bespectacled James Michael Peterik on his solo debut 'Don't Fight The Feeling' looks like a bored extra on the set of a cheap 1970's porn movie.. |
Piper - 1976 Piper
|
|
Piper were based in Boston, Massachusetts and lead by one Billy Squier, and it looked for a short time at least, the group was on the fast track to bigger and better things.
|
Protheroe, Brian - 1976 I/You
| |
Often compared to early 10cc and rightfully so, there's a little bit of Supertramp, traces of
Pilot and other period artists found in the music of Brian Protheroe, but lyrically he stands on his own.
|
Quantum Jump - 1976 Quantum Jump
 | | All things considered Quantum Jump with its off-kilter mix of funk, soul and jazz styles as well as 10cc-ish art rock created something quite original and way ahead of its time. |
Quatro, Michael - 1976 Dancers, Romancers, Dreamers And Schemers
| |
Brother of glam leather babe Suzi Quatro, Michael took a different path from his famous sister, exploring progressive rock and in turn becoming the American answer to Rick Wakeman.
|
Queen - 1976 A Day At The Races
 | | A landmark recording on nearly every level, 'A Night At The Opera' can now be viewed as a direct descendent of The Beatles 'Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Heart's Club Band', but how to follow-up on such a masterful work? 'A Day At The Races' is the result.. |
Rickfors, Mikael - 1976 The Wheel
 | | Very soulful and very Motown; 'The Wheel' was Rickfors second effort and released only in Sweden those unfamiliar with Mikael and his music can be easily be forgiven believing he's American. |
Roadmaster - 1976 Roadmaster
 | | 'Roadmaster' the album has often been described as the band's weakest link, though longtime fans needn't feel discouraged as there are a surprising number of good songs on offer, which gives us a glimpse into the keyboard laden future. |
Ryan, Paul - 1976 Scorpio Rising
 | | I know a lot of pop aficionados who dislike 'Scorpio Rising' simply because as it's so far removed from Ryan's earlier swinging '60s offerings, but taken on its own I think it's a forgotten and worth hearing classic of orchestral prog. |
S.S Fools - 1976 S.S Fools
 | | Toto fans will need no introduction to Bobby Kimball, who is featured here with this shortlived outfit from California. |
Scorpions, The - 1976 Virgin Killer
|
|
This was their fourth studio album, with the few years of experience and professionalism now starting to show. As a measure of their popularity, this album is held in high regard among their earlier works.
|
Scrounger - 1976 Snap
| |
Released on the same label that brought you the evergreen classic 'How Long' by Ace, Scrounger's 'Snap' was just one of a handful of noteworthy albums put out by Anchor Records
|
Shabby Tiger - 1976 Shabby Tiger
| |
London based Shabby Tiger based its style around the British pop scene and forthcoming disco/pop era. Think of acts such as Jigsaw and Pilot and you have a fair idea as to their sound.
|
Sherbet - 1976 Howzat
|
|
Long before music from 'Down Under' blasted its way into the consciousness of the world record buying public in the 1980's, there was the heaven-sent and candy coated powerhouse called Sherbet..
|
Slade - 1976 Nobody's Fools
 | | In 1975 after a very fickle general public had decided in a very short period of success that Slade were old hat, see the connection to Quiet Riot with what they endured after their couple of successes, Slade chose to relocate to the States and began to write tunes and basically set up home. While any of the tunes do have a certain Americanism around them, the roots are still distinctly British and well really best as described as..Slade. |
Slick Band - 1976 Slick Band
| |
As a guitarist, Earl Slick comes with impressive credentials. Unfortunately, his two mid 70's offerings under the handle 'Slick Band' aren't included..
|
Smith And D'Abo - 1976 Smith And D'Abo
| |
Who are these two guys and why are they on Glory Daze I hear you ask? They are the pairing of Mike Smith and Mike D'Ado. Fortunately, both of these veterans got together for whatever reason and delivered a one-off classic that didn't get the attention it deserved at the time but is definitely a 'must hear'.
|
Sparks - 1976 Big Beat
 | | There's no group on the planet quite like Sparks. If you own any of their albums, you know what I mean.. and in my opinion you can't go wrong with any of their stuff, but if a newbie, start with 'Big Beat' or any of the first five LP's. You'll never be sorry. |
Spiders From Mars - 1976 Spiders From Mars
 | | Outside of dyed-in-the-wool David Bowie fans, I don't think this record ever got a fair shake back in the day. With its hard to ignore fire engine red cover; Spiders From Mars were Bowie's much-lauded back-up band before he moved to Berlin and found Brian Eno.. |
Stallion (USA) - 1976 Stallion
 | | Debut record from Denver based 70's rockers Stallion. |
Starbuck - 1976 Moonlight Feels Right
| |
Atlanta band Starbuck, who released one of the 70's greatest pop singles with 'Moonlight Feels Right'.
|
Starcastle - 1976 Starcastle
|
|
It would be hard not to compare Starcastle to Yes - the musical similarities there for all to pick the eyes out of.
|
Starr, Ruby - 1976 Scene Stealer
 | | While a kissing cousin to Black Oak; 'Scene Stealer' is like so many of that band's hog-pile of albums - long on southernisms, but too often short of shit-hot tunes to lock in with the likes of the Allmans, Lynyrd Skynyrd and The Outlaws. |
Starz - 1976 Starz
| |
Reyno asks the question - how can 'Starz' not be ranked as one of the greatest hard rock records of all-time?
|
Stec, Joey - 1976 Joey Stec
 | | Spoken in reverence amongst power pop fans in the know, the album has become a cult item over the years.. |
Stewart, Al - 1976 Year Of The Cat
 | | Well known for blending in historical references into his previous material, Al Stewart mostly put that on the backburner for his classic 70's LP 'Year Of The Cat', where the material is light, fluffy and harmless, a formula which caught on with the masses, the album selling like hotcakes. |
Strapps - 1976 Strapps
|
|
Mott The Hoople, Silverhead and New York Dolls fans will find much to enjoy here.. for the more adventurous rock listener looking for something different, Strapps debut will be money well spent.
|
Styx - 1976 Crystal Ball
 | | The band's second album for A&M and the first to feature upstart guitarist Tommy Shaw.. |
Sunblind Lion - 1976 Observer
| |
This Wisconsin based progressive rock band were never in the same category as Fireballet, Ethos or Starcastle, 'Observer' is half way decent and worthy of any collection that leans towards American progressive rock rarities.
|
Symphonic Slam - 1976 Symphonic Slam
|
|
Symphonic Slam is a strange one to be honest, progressive rock with a funky edge.. reminiscent at times of Kansas and the first three Journey albums.
|
Target - 1976 Target
 | | Musically Target should hit most of the right buttons for Southern rock fans with a hard rockin' mixture of Point Blank and Hydra influences peppered with pop. |
Tattoo - 1976 Tattoo
| |
Tattoo was the band of former Raspberries alumni Wally Bryson. The music itself for the most part is good - falling into the REO Speedwagon, Jo Jo Gunne and James Gang thumping denim and cowboy boots early 70's Midwestern sound, but the resulting production? In the words of Head East, it's as 'flat as a pancake'.
|
The Group With No Name - 1976 Moon Over Brooklyn
| |
It's hard for me to listen to this album and not draw comparisons to the future sound of Desmond Child & Rouge, although the group's roots whether they knew it or not can be found in Brotherhood Of Man and Guys 'N' Dolls - early to mid '70s male/female pop ensembles that were very popular at the time.
|
Tiger - 1976 Goin' Down Laughing
 | | These guys had no shortage of talent but seriously lacked the energy or originality to compete on the same level with other far more successful hard rocking bands of the day. |
Travers, Pat (Band) - 1976 Pat Travers
 | | When we talk about Canadian guitarists, blues rocker Pat Travers should be up there somewhere toward the top of the list. Taking a bold step, Travers left Canada to kickstart his solo career in good ol' Blighty during 1976, this album his first footsteps onto a satisfying solo career. |
Trower, Robin - 1976 Robin Trower Live
 | | The early albums from British blues rock guitarist Robin Trower are probably some of the best of that genre. In this review, we'll look at the sole live album he released during this period: 1976's 'Robin Trower Live!'. |
U.S Radio Band - 1976 Don't Touch That Dial
| |
U.S. Radio Band offered easy listening, vaguely pompy and light in the loafer's pop music with one foot in disco.
|
UFO - 1976 No Heavy Petting
 | | It was inevitable that UFO would add spit and polish to the chrome and steel provided by the rest of the band. In 1976, I doubt there was a harder and tighter rock band in operation than UFO. |
Unicorn - 1976 Too Many Crooks
 | | Trust me when I say Unicorn were far better than their details looked on paper. British and produced by Pink Floyd's David Gilmour; Unicorn played American styled country rock influenced by Crosby Stills & Nash as well as The Byrds. |
Unison - 1976 Unison
|
|
This is pretty much down-to_earth hard rock with southern and blues traits from a band hailing from upstate New York. One of the most searched after hard rock albums of the mid-70's.
