5 Loud N Proud 4 Nazareth 3 Hair of the Dog 2 Expect No Mercy 1 Razamanaz. And the 1972 single Hard Living.

Nazareth had some of the coolest album covers in rock history.

My "bar band" opened for Naz around 2001 in a rather large rock bar in Sarnia ON. They were so nice to us, and rocked the building to the foundations. Great memories.

I'm 57, have been collecting rock and all kinds of music since I was 15, and now have over 9,000 albums. And I will always have a love of and soft spot for Nazareth because 1975's "Hair of the Dog" started it all and my foray and journey into music exploration and appreciation as being the very first album ("record") I ever bought. Great, unique album and still sounds great today. I don't know if there will ever be another singer with a voice like Dan McCafferty's ---- the perfect complement to Manny Charlton's brilliant, bluesy hard rock guitar. All the best.

Nice to see a light shined on this criminally underrated band. Such an impressive body of work and Dan’s vocals one of the most imitated singers ever but never as good as the original.

Great to see one of the greatest Hard Rock/Proto-Metal bands of the 70s finally get some recognition. Hair of the Dog is still one of the best albums ever made across all genres of Rock. R.I.P. Dan, Manny, and Darrell.

One of my all time favorite bands. My personal favorite album is "Close Enough for Rock and Roll"

I saw this band twice. I saw the "Malice in Wonderland" tour in 1980 in Saginaw Michigan. They recorded the show that night. We knew we were gonna make the live album... but the live album wasn't to be from that tour. But the next studio album was Fool Circle. The song Cocaine was on the album and was from the night in Saginaw. So I sorta made the live album. That concert was the moment I realized not all concerts were the same, there were some nights that were magic. That show was one of those nights. I saw them a couple years later in Mt Pleasant Michigan, they were not very good, Dan was really drunk. The suprises of both shows were the opening bands. The first show had Blackfoot open (Strikes tour!) and the second time was Donny Iris (he was great that night!). I miss Nazareth, when they were good, they were fantastic.

Close enough for Rock and Roll was my favorite with Expect no mercy right there

Razamanaz was the first album I bought with my first paycheck when I Was 16 years old in 1976

Great show Hack! 1. Hair of the Dog 2. Razzamanazz 3. Expect No Mercy 4. Close Enough for Rock N Roll 5. Big Dog

" BOOGALOO" (1998) - is awesome!!!!! 🎉🎉❤😊❤🎉🎉

I am writing this comment right at the beginning of this video and I haven't heard too many of Nazareth's albums but the one that I have listened to extensively and that I love is 'No Mean City'.

Great show! My first Nazaeth exposure was This Flight Tonight on the local AM station in the spring of 1973.......I discovered them even before Deep Purple, Black Sabbath, Grand Funk, BTO et al landed on my radar. My brother was into them huge and picked up all their early albums. I remember my first album purchase was RazAmaNaz. Great memories!

Nice show gentlemen! They played in my town once in the late 70's - before the show Dan fell in the stairway backstage and screwed up his back. Rather than cancel, he sang the show seated and polished off what seemed to be an entire bottle of Jack Daniels. He didn't miss a beat!

Woke up this morning by Nazareth has got to be one of those bad ass songs I have ever heard love the slide guitar on that

First concert...Billy Squier with Nazareth 1982.

' Guitar Hack ', like you, I also really appreciate Roger Glover's production work. But if you check the credits of these 3 albums produced by Roger Glover, in 2 or all of these records he had the help of Geoff Emerick, audio engineer for the Beatles and Procol Harum among others. So this polished and balanced sound is a merit of both .

The early albums where great.

Great stuff.

Just ordered Loud n Proud!!! Thank you all!!

Thanks. Yeah I think it's great. Thanks for watching and welcome to the channel.

Just finished the discography, really enjoyed it though No Jive is their last truly great album and easily the best album after 2XS which is also really good so I was really surprised to see No Jive getting dogged on here, its fantastic. Another two I really enjoyed especially were Expect No Mercy and Loud and Proud. but really I enjoyed most of them. Especially the first 18

Saw them in '75 (Rush opened) and '76 (Mahogany Rush opened) first two concerts I ever seen. Both really great shows. I was blown away by Frank Marino.

Nazareth................. Rules

Great show Great Band Dan was one of the greatest vocalist of Hard rock.

If I could only keep one = Loud and Proud. The Ballad of Hollis Brown is just over the top. That tune alone is a must have in any hard rock collection.

No Mean City ... absolutely !

Sunshine was the first song I learned how to play on guitar🤘

Very tough task ranking the different Nazareth albums.... But here my personal benchmarks:1- Hair of the dog 2- The Newz 3- Rampant 4- Expect No Mercy 5- No mean city RIP Darrell, Dan & Manny. Thanks for everything

My top 5: 5. Rampant-good album, one of their most solid. "Loved and Lost", "Shanghai'd in Shanghai"-good songs. The album's stand outs are not as stunning as the rest. It is a little bit overlooked. 4. Loud 'n' Proud-their most solid album imo, not a bad song on it, but it is a little same-y, a little like Razamanaz II, but the tracks are really good produced, gritty, heavy, aggressive. "Ballad of Hollis Brown" is amazing. 3. No Mean City-Not one of their heaviest albums by any means, but it is sufficiently heavy and has some of their best variations. "No Mean City" and "Simple Solution"-great gritty heavy bluesy hard rock tunes, "Star" is a great pop ballad, "Whatever You Want Babe" I love too. 2. Razamanaz-These guys were grasping straws and then pounded this out, jumped to the top of the hard rock pile fast imo. Boogie, heavy metal, pop, doom. "Razamanaz", "Alcatraz", "Sold My Soul", "Broken Down Angel"-such anthemic songs. 1. Hair of the Dog-I actually hate the title track, but this is their heaviest album. "Miss Misery" and "Beggars Day" slay and the soulful ballads near the end round things out perfectly.

'No Mean City Parts 1 and 2' is absolutely one of my favourite heavy songs ever !

I feel like Nazareth - Woke up this Morning was the inspiration to George Thoroughgood's entire career. I also think that Deep Purple - Perfect Strangers song was inspired by Nazareth - No Mean City song.

I am surprised that someone actually mentioned Rampant, but didn't Even mention the absolutely fantastic cover of Yardbirds - Shapes of Things.

@@seaoftranquilityprog Oh I have it. My comment was more an in-joke about my book "Razama-Snaz! The Listener's Guide to Nazareth" that came out a couple years ago.

Beggars Day was also a cover, although Nazareth improved upon it. Hair of the Dog is Day Tripper slowed down??? I always assumed that it could have been considered Aerosmith - Same Old Song and Dance sped up ?????,

Even though Silver Dollar Forger is far from the best Nazareth song , it was a great example of what an amazing Vocalist Dan Mc Cafferty was

Nazareth is the Heaviest Metal band in the history of music. Miss Misery, Hard Times, and Ballad of Hollis Brown makes Judas Priest, Motorhead, Venom, and Black Sabbath sound like Elton John. I used to play Ballad of Hollis Brown for Metal fans and it was way too noisy and intense for them to handle. Nazareth could be considered the first Black Metal band with songs like I Will Not be Led, and I Sold My Soul

1. Exercises ( Glen Coe Massacre ) - Hair of the Dog ( tie for first) 2. Loud n Proud ( the most straight forward Hard Rock album) 3. Razzmanaz ( what a variety of music) 4. Nazareth ( great atmosphere) 5. No Mean City ( the other Straight ahead Hard Rock album) 6. Expect No Mercy ( a great album) 7. Rampant ( a totally unique style for the band) 8. Too Close Enough for Rock and Roll ( kind of follow up to Hair of the Dog that Point of Entry was to British Steel) 9. Play n the Game( almost a contract obligation release) 10. the Fool Circle ( Nazareth go AOR Pop) 11. Snazz ( Absolutely ferocious rendition of Telegram) 12 . Malice in Wonderland ( Very Lightweight other than the Heavy Metal song Turning a New Leaf ) 13. 12 × 5 ( kind of like John Cougar Mellencamp without the hooks) 14. Boogaloo ( awful album art and album title, musically average) Those are the best, fukkkk the rest, they must all suck because I have never heard them
