    Thanks for the shout out! Great list, I really like "Firefly" would have landed high on my list if I included the Lawton era. Never cared for "Fallen Angel"

    Great ranking, George. I really dig Uriah Heep. Firefly is great! You can’t argue with the power of The Magicians Birthday and Demons And Wizards.

    My favourite UH album is Look at Yourself. Demons & Wizards, Salisbury, Magicians Birthday and Sweet Freedom complete my top 5 from the 1970s. I like the CD editions you have of LAY and the debut as well, I have not seen those.

    For me ↓↓↓ I've always loved Lawton from Lucifer's Friend. I have a "Best 69" playlist for in the vehicle, and that only goes to the early 80's albums. 1- Demons & Wizards 2- Sweet Freedom 3- Wonderworld 4- Innocent Victim 5- Fallen Angel 6- Look At Yourself 7- The Magician's Birthday 8- Salisbury 9- Very 'eavy, very 'umble 10- Firefly 11- Return To Fantasy 12- High & Mighty 13- 10 Miles High Sessions (unfinished, but better versions of a couple songs from Conquest)

    Great stuff George, very eloquently presented. You've caused me a dilemma to be honest ..... saw the band 2 or 3 times in the early 1970s and loved their early stuff to bits. When Wonderworld was released it really knocked me cold and to be honest, turned me off the band forever .... David Byron being an idiot and eventually being sacked didn't help. Now my friend, you've got me feeling the need to visit their later stuff on your list.

    Hey George! D&W is also my #1. Lawton was a pretty good replacement for Byron. I have their entire discography, but I think anything released after the 70's will come down to personal taste. I was 16 when D&W came out, so I'm surprised how much I like their last 3 albums. Cheers!

    I've not come across anyone ranking UH albums before. Top job: My top UH albums (been a fan since 1972 and still listen to tracks every week, or suddenly start singing a favourite track): 1. Demons and Wizards. 2. Magician's Birthday. 3. Salisbury (Mick Box's solo is marvellous). 4. Look at Yourself. 5. Very 'eavy, Very 'umble. After my top 5 I don't really have an order, most are pretty good. I have always considered Mick Box to have been criminally underated.

    You asked for later day albums these are the currant line up with Bernie Shaw singing. This is how i would rank there stuff. -9 Raging Silence 1989 -8 Different World 1991 -7 Sonic Origami 1998 -6 Outsider 2014 -5 Sea Of Light 1995 -4 Into The Wild 2011 -3 Chaos & Colour 2023 -2 Living The Dream 2018 -1 Wake The Sleeper The 80's Uriah Heep are not great albums but not bad my least favorite era of the band. Albums 5 4 & 1 are Peter Goalby. Bernie Shaw on 2 & John Sloman on album 3. The only album that i dislike is Equator from 1985 for me it only has 4 tracks that i enjoy. I own all 25 studio albums by Uriah Heep there is something enjoyable off each and everyone of them. Hope this helped in your quest. -5 Equator 1985 -4 Head First 1983 -3 Conquest 1980 -2 Raging Silence 1989 -1 Abominog 1982
