It is beyond belief that the morons in charge of nominating groups have not put URIAH HEEP into the Hall of Fame. These guys have been around for 50 years. While personnel changes have occurred as in many cases and bands even evolved. They have been a staple in Europe and inspiration to many. While not as big as they should have been here in the States. Every other major group knows how good they are and reputation is. Kiss, Rush, Stryper, Wasp, Blackfoot, Focus, Ian Anderson/Jethro Tull .... and the list goes on and on and on. Have total respect and admiration. Ots a shame that groups and individuals with so much influence and longevity are omitted by THE ROCK AND ROLL Committee. Rush had not been put in until the outrage of fans. And the CONCERTS the CONCERTS very few bands perform as good or better live than what you hear on an album. Such as the case like Santana. On an average night they are at their A game and are great. But on other nights exceptional. Never a bad concert. Posted by Matthew Bula on Saturday, 04/28/2018 @ 12:51pm |
me and my cousin was listening to in rock by deep purple one summer day and he had been telling me about this band he got to see in houston that year 1972,well we walked to the local music store to get the new album demons and wizards.not there so we got salisbury it was half of year the next time i listened to in rock.i got to see them again 4-8-2018 in dallas. i am known as superfan dam near 48 years. hall of fame would be great but honest with you i am still waiting for some of there songs to play on fm. to get to hall of fame you have go through the worlds djs. shame them.look at all the musicians that would be part of the induction. and if you never sat down and turned up the album see of light do it now.super great.

They maybe one of Iron Maiden’s influences, but they’ll never get an induction. Posted by The Dude on Thursday, 08/2/2018 @ 13:29pm |
Let's face it: The R&R Hall is more about commercial success than musicianship. Heep has never had a lot of commercial success, so they will be ignored. No, it is not right, it is just factual. I honestly have NO idea how "they" decide what gets played on radio and what doesn't, but somehow there are bands with 20+ albums out, and only 1 or 2 songs gets airplay. The only Heep song I think I am tired of is "Stealin'" and that's the only one ever played. Posted by Tim on Tuesday, 07/23/2019 @ 08:52am |

Hell yes! Uriah Heep should have been in there already. Longevity, long string of essential rock classics, and their newest material is as strong as ever! Uriah Heep are true road warriors. Numerous line up changes through the years, but the soul and essence of Uriah Heep has never wavered. They are the quintessential hard rock band. Underrated by critics, loved by their legion of world wide fans. Posted by Art on Thursday, 02/25/2021 @ 09:41am |

Só pela composição e execução de Salsbury o Uriah já merece seu lugar como os pioneros do metal progressivo, mas eles fizeram muito mais como Wake up set your sights, The Park, Echoes in the Dark etc Posted by Rick Jones Anderson (Brazil) on Sunday, 06/26/2022 @ 00:56am |
WOW more prattle here than expected. Nazareth only has a 8% chance of getting in. Iron Maiden and Thin Lizzy 32% Posted by zrocker on Saturday, 09/24/2022 @ 04:19am |
Heep was one of the original bands to push the envelope with a heavy rock attitude, great dynamics on terms of building up emotion in the sound, and great vocals. This is what great rock music should be. I'm amazed they have not been inducted to the Hall of Fame yet. But then again, the Moody Blues just got on recently and it took forever for Chicago to finally get in. The "Hall' just doesn't seem to do justice very timely for the absolute heroes.

Uriah Heep is no doubt one of the most influential heavy metal bands along with Black Sabbath, Deep Purple and Led Zeppelin. They were the pioneers of that layered choir sound (listen to Bird of Pray) that Queen copied and wrote classics such as Gypsy, July Morning, Easy Living, The Wizard, Sweet Loraine, Lady In Black etc... David Byron was one of the greatest singers of all time and Ken Hensley a songwriter legend. The original bassist Gary Thain and drummer Lee Kerslake are both legends and as players highly qualified to say the least. They changed their sound from the progressive heavy metal of the early and mid 70's to the more radio friendly sound of the singles Fallen Angel and Free Me with the great late John Lawton as the singer and continued their success in different parts of the world. They made a comeback in the early 80's with the AOR influenced Abominog album with Peter Goalby on vocals. They were among the very first if not the first western rock band to play in the USSR and performed there to packed arenas in the late 80's. The band has carried through 5 decades and still performs to big audiences with the original guitarist Mick Box carrying the torch. Although the band had it's commercial peak in the 70's their popularity has continued to this day. Posted by Naakka on Saturday, 12/10/2022 @ 13:27pm |
