Look at Yourself is the best album. It is stupid to say anything else. I think Uriah Heep is OK, but not one of my favourite band.

Love Mick! My Brother!! So enjoyed my pint of Guinness with him!! One could not meet a nicer person!! Truly love this man!! My Dutch (1974 Miss Netherlands) wife says one of the nicest gentleman she has ever met, have to agree!! Def Leppard not even close to Uriah Heep!! What I love most about Mick is he has brought the band so often to my home in Israel, we love you here!! No BS Anti-Semitism, just brought your incredible music and love!!

I never cared much about anything following Fallen Angel, except for a brief while when a class-mate played Abominog for me. I guess I was still in the normal loop of not understanding that anything could actually move on, and still be totally good. It's a good thing that thinking eventually died out during the 80's and 90's! Deep Purple's Perfect Strangers, and Dio's Holy Diver, hit me as a teenager at the time. And then I went back to discover everything I'd missed by being too young! Of course, the one thing I never missed was Uriah Heep! My mother's youngest brother had all the early records, and my younger brother and I had full control of playing those as we wanted, since he wasn't nearby... :P But today, I find so much pleasure in listening to the "new" Uriah Heep records that I had decided were not "worth" listening to at that time...! Of course they are not like those recorded during the early seventies, but I really like them now!

Mick Box comes accross as a really nice guy. And his playing is great. I was a great fan of Uriah Heep in their early days, but I have never heard one of their later albums. I must try to get some of those and have a listen.

Great story. I wonder what that would’ve sounded like. Perhaps Ian Gillian or Glenn Hughes might be a better fit, but Coverdale has nice baritone pipes and the charm to pull it off.

I was born in 1967, and I first listened to my uncle's Uriah Heep records, and then eventually sort of inherited many of those which had passed on to my aunt, as payment for baby-sitting for her... Oh, and I got her double-LP of Sweet's "Strung Up" double album years before CD's were invented. :D But, as Mick says, there are so many Uriah Heep albums to choose from... My first to get my hands on were Look at Yourself, Demons and Wizards, Magicians Birthday, Sweet Freedom and Return to Fantasy, so those formed the core of what I loved about Uriah Heep back then, in the mid-70's to mid-80's, originally. But then I got smacked in the face by a record I got as part of a package-deal from my then-Music-Club: Fallen Angels! That one was so good, and then I got Firefly. Hanging Tree, Wise Man, so good things to remember out of those! Woman of the Night, Falling in Love, Fallen Angel I hesitate to state it, but I feel strongly that the redoubtable Mick Box partook of those recordings! :D I sure hope Mick Box will think nicely about John Lawton's contributions to the Uriah Heep canon! Many of us love those as much as both the early records and Abominog (Wow, I did like that one, once I discovered it).

Have all the albums but the out and out best album is clearly High n' Mighty. This album is just so good. Had a mate at school in the 70s who thought this was their best as well. Naturally Magician's Birthday and Demons and Wizards are the next best. Return To Fantasy was amazing but High n' Mighty just blew the Richter scale. So underrated.
