    Pete, on behalf of Mickie Jones, my dad, I humbly thank you for rating the Angel band songs! He would have said the same thing as I just did. I truly appreciate every fan who loved the Angel songs. ❤️ Dad was born a rocker and died a rocker. 🤘🏻

    A personal big THANK YOU for covering one of my favorite underappreciated, yet amazing hard rock bands from the 70s. I totally agree that Angel were ahead of their time. Although I love the proggy earlier albums, and especially Giuffria's playing, my personal favorite is the poppy-er "White Hot." Normally, I don't gravitate to more commercial sounding music, but this album was so amazing, I couldn't help myself. I was also lucky enough to see Angel live following the release of White Hot- they opened for Styx on the Pieces of Eight tour, and they were phenomenal. Great stuff, Pete!

    True Story: in 1979, when the song "Lay It On The Line" first came out, and I heard it for the first couple of times on the radio, I thought for sure it was Angel. And I thought it was the best song Angel had ever put out. . . . . then I found out it was a Canadian band called Triumph. (that was also the first time I had heard of Triumph, and then I became Triumph fan after that.

    I had their first 3 albums in the late 70s, loved them. I even named my original rock trio I started in the 12th grade White Angel. We played a lot of gigs back then. There was something very special about their sound back then. Relistening it stirs up some of those old feeling, that's got to say something about them.

    Unknown to me until I stepped out of a London second hand record shop in April 1978 with four albums tucked under my arm. I knew nothing about the bands but the covers looked interesting! Billion Dollar Babies (Alice Cooper Band) - ‘Battle Axe’, ‘Starz’ (self titled), Riot - ‘Rock City’, and Angel - ‘Helluva Band’. Those four albums remain ‘favourites’ to this day and were indeed a fortunate find - all in mint condition and costing a mere £7.20.

Me, I couldnt get past the lacy white pretty outfits, I was more into NWOBHM, so i passed on ANGEL> It was till about 2010? that i looked into them from reading about them in one of Martin Popoff's books, and they set my interest. I totally got into them from then on .Especially the first debut album and LIVE WITHOUT A NET.

    Many years ago, I listened Punky Meadows on a radio talk show. He has a very interesting story about how when the band broke up in 1979 all of them were flat broke because they never really made any money during the time they were recording and touring and he decided to go back to his home to North Carolina and was so broke that his family had to send him money to buy a bus ticket from California to North Carolina. And when he got back to North Carolina he tried his best to get a real job but no one would hire him. In the early 80's he worked at a Mom and Pops movie rental store until he scraped up enough money to start a tanning bed business. From the mid 80's all the way until the mid 2000's that's all he did was own and operate a couple of tanning salons. The people that worked at his tanning salons had no idea that he used to be a rock star. It wasn't until the late 2000's that he had the urge to want to play music again. . . . it's a fascinating story about what happens to these guys after the music business is done with them and how hard it is for them to put a normal life together afterwards.

    Pete comes through again! Angel is one of those bands that should have been huge. Tower should be in everyone’s top ten songs. It’s a masterpiece. Risen was easily one of the best albums of 2019. So many great tunes on that record and Frank sounds great. Punky even better. Sinful would be my number one Angel record. Sure it’s more poppy than prog, but damn is it good. Can’t go wrong with Angel!

    Not alone Monica! :D Unknown to me until I stepped out of a London second hand record shop in April 1978 with four albums tucked under my arm. I knew nothing about the bands but the covers looked interesting! Billion Dollar Babies (Alice Cooper Band) - ‘Battle Axe’, ‘Starz’ (self titled), Riot - ‘Rock City’, and Angel - ‘Helluva Band’. Those four albums remain ‘favourites’ to this day and were indeed a fortunate find - all in mint condition and costing a mere £7.20. Playlist for anyone who is interested.

This got me thinking, and I'm not necessarily saying you should do this, since I know you've got a lot on your schedule, but I was just wondering if you've ever thought about doing a revised top ten list of the groups you've featured already. It would be interesting to compare your original list with the new list. (I guess you can say I'm pretty much a fanatic about lists. I make lists of just about everything.) Well, it's a thought anyway. I hope you stay safe and I hope you don't catch the corona virus. Sea of Tranquility is my favorite channel on You Tube and I'd hate for it to disappear.

    100% agree with your ranking, Pete. Helluva Band is absolute killer. It belongs in my top 5 of the seventies, perhaps even of all times. Angel is a lot like The Baby’s : both bands have super strong debut albums, epic follow up and a solid third record before going downhill. Both bands suffered from a girly image and name, and were perhaps a bit too poppy/mainstream for the die hard heavy rock/metal fans. Both bands were ahead of their time. And both band have die hard loyal fans (including myself)!
