曲やコーラスの美しさ、ギターの繊細さ、ボーカルのかけあい、ゲイリー・セインの美しいベースライン、どれもが完璧な最高傑作です！
The bass work by Gary Thain (rip) during the mid section during the solo and the vocals is superb. He plays a masterclass in melodic bass and hardly anyone mentions it. Go back and listen to the bass. You can't unhear it once you do and nothing else compares. It is all you will ever take from this track for ever more in the future.
It is still a super album to my ears after all these years..... Do the album "Look At Yourself" next please.....
Simply beautiful music from the legendary Uriah Heep with the great vocals of David Byron.
So very nice to see another generation love the music I grew up with, almost 50 years ago. Uriah Heep was underrated for the music they created.Total magic !!
Ty Bobby, I'm enjoying it :D
What an amazing band they were in the great year of 1972 having released two of the greatest Hardrock albums of the era. Unique clever concepts, arrangements & musicianship, filled with great visceral storytelling, mysticism, fantasy & dreamlike optimism. Each member added to the sound of the band. During this period, the keys and guitarist, Ken Hensley was writing most of the songs. Gary Thain on bass was said to be the best musician in the band. Guitarist Mick Box was perfect stylistically & of course lead singer Byron was the one of the coolest front men ever. Those two albums still leave me spellbound.
Let's not forget Hensley's vocals, too. They complement Byron's vocals perfectly.
Exactly, it's the sheer imagination and optimism of Heep that many people just can't allow themselves to enjoy unironically.
The Spell is astonishly beautiful, among their very best.
I prefer paradise over the spell honestly. It's way more melodic and calm which sounds good to me.
Love, love, love this song and these guys vocals are absolutely amazing!... my favorite for over 50 years! 🥰✌
You're listening to a exceptional album (and band). They were so great, and this was probably their finest record as a band. Look At Yourself and The Magician's Birthday were also superb but this was the one that got them national attention.
Heep put their music together in a very unique way. I can't think of any band that is anything like them.
Ken Hensley was definitely the best keyboard player that played guitar now and then. In "Circle" and in "Spell" he plays those unbelievable slide guitar solos.
Jouni Antikainen: BINGO
Yes, check out Ken in the DVD "The Magicians Birthday Party" (Live) where on this tune he switches from Acoustic Guitar to Organ to Slide Guitar and finally back to organ. But, they do have Lee Kerslake sing the "evil" character (ok but nothing great.) On on the same DVD in Circle of Hands, they get going a little too fast, but Ken just slays it on slide. At the end, Bernie Shaw (singer) is flat out incredulous at what he just heard... I believe it's the only time I ever heard him curse: "Hell...YEAHHH!"
Incredibly, in his later band, Live Fire, Ken found another "Ken" who I'll be damned, is his equal on slide, and a darn soulful lead player too. If you've not heard it, check out "The Last Dance" (live in Hamburg), a REALLY great live performance.
You need to listen to the bonus track called “Why” it’s an amazing bass driving masterpiece and really a true great Uriah heep song. One of my favourites you’d love it
Pure magic. Cheers
This is a great album with two of the best tracks at the end. Some songs the lyrics are not so important but these two songs the lyrics are essential and very clear. Thain's bass at certain points in both songs are exquisite. Then what we have waited for the whole album the Mick Box solo in The Spell a guitar solo around such darkness, with such beauty. Has to be up with one of the top 10 rock guitar solos of all time.
Mick Box is one of those wonderful guitar players who are always a little bit below the public attention. He had a really wide range between the agressive sounds and the smooth and bombastic slide sounds like here and in between surprising parts like the jazzy guitar on one of my favorite Uriah Heep songs "The Park" from "Salisbury". (Not very spectacular, but very unique.) And I think he deserved to become a little bit more honored for what he did.
And he's still touring with Heep. The only original still alive.
I've been looking forward to your take on these 2 gems. Nice job Justin.
Yes. YES! You know, I do love the HEEP!
Thank you Sally ;-)
This is EPIC! What a way to close out an album
Uriah Heep had it all. Great vocalists, pianist/organist, guitarists and drummer. Just downright pretty rock music.
Definitely!
Justin, that “menacing” tone in Paradise is Ken Hensley’s Minimoog.
Whaooooooo fantastic song!!!
Masterpiece ...
In fact JP, I'm putting on the 'phones and replaying these 2 again. And I DID send your reaction to my dad!
That ghostly lead guitar has always reminded me of Stake Hackett's Shadow of the Hierophant. I like this a lot better though.
De hecho este solo me recuerda al solo de Firth Of Fifth
Uriah Heep is a world unto itself. This album is great after all these years. What an epic ending these two songs are. As always you gave a wonderful analysis JP. I just love your reactions to these epic classic songs! I can't wait until you get to their next album The Magician's Birthday- it is also quite epic! Cheers!
Fifty years ago this was produced - just to put that into perspective, consider what music from 1922 sounded like in 1972. Yeah.
So glad you got to hear this whole album JP as it's one of my favorite listens back in the mid-late 1970's. Tunes for the imagination as it were.
Uriah heep makes everything alright
Paradise/The Spell ends an album with The Wizard and Rainbow Demon already listened to. My take is it’s a battle for souls of the human race between God and Satan.
Rush literally did the same theme but changed it to the battle of heart(right brain) and mind (left brain) on Hemispheres:Cygnus II.
It's definitely when Satan is cast out of heaven and will terrorize mankind with his bitterness.
This song is so poetic and deep that you can fell God's infinite compassion.
Walked this morning into my forest Paradise. Hear the squirrels chatter, while a hawk cries. Quite suddenly and completely by surprise, a beautiful green goddess appeared to my eyes.She said leave your human guise and it's manufactured Hell. Come with me into the woodlands, I followed totally under The Spell of the green Wood Elf.Peace prog. freaks.
Not Box with that Slide Guitar it is Ken Hensley with that chorus
Any other of Uriah Heep’s first 6 studio albums would be worthwhile to move onto next. My favourite is Magician’s Birthday so you could go back and finish that off. Or maybe for something different with the rawness of their debut Very ‘Eavy or more polished straight ahead rock of Sweet Freedom. You could justify any of them really. I’m really enjoying Sea of Light too at the moment but probably best to stick with the classic era for the time being.
Also just a thanks for actually given Heep a solid go. There’s not many other CZcams reaction/review channels actually giving them the attention, which is a huge shame. It’s how I came across you initially in fact,
I think their purple patch was from "Look at Yourself" through "Magician's Birthday", but the debut and "Sweet Freedom" have some of my fav songs as well. Later albums like "Sea of Light" and "Wake the Sleeper" are really strong.
Seriously Uriah Heep runs the gambit for rock. Their "Very 'eavy Very 'Umble" album has some kicka#$ blues. "Come away Melinda" will almost bring a tear to your eyes. If you ever want to talk about this band contact me. They've been going forever and I'm pretty sure they're still touring
Please oh Please do the SWEET FREEDOM album next young fella. .. por favor?
OMG they were amazing. How others get all snobby about them I do not know. Yeah I liked Purple, Sabbath et al but I LOVED Heep. All of it. It's like British prog lives and dies with ELP (who I can't stand) and DP. I disagree wholeheartedly. UH are so broad in scope, imaginative, delicious vocals (David!!) and swooping guitars and those amazing keyboards.
I am sending this reaction to my dad, he who got us into UH waaay back and thusly we went to see them with this most excellent line up. He will be thrilled that you like it. You going to do other Heep albums, pretty please?
Excellent reaction JP, have enjoyed every moment of all UH. Thank you.
To hell with them, we love the Heep! 😄
@@pentagrammaton6793 AMEN fellow Heep Warrior! think he would love "Rain" one of my favourite ballads ever.
@@DawnSuttonfabfour Rain is beautiful, and from my favourite rock album period.
@@pentagrammaton6793 Isn't it? Don't know where you are but in UK we were desperate for rain a week ago. I put up 4 rain related trax on my FB and Heep's was one of them. It has verily rained now! Am on East Coast.
@@DawnSuttonfabfour Wales, so I hear you weather wise!
FWIW, the lyrics in "The Spell" are another good vs. evil back and forth, with Hensley the "evil" this time. That lyric "I have no need for moonlight, You're wrong to trust in sunlight, For I exist not just in storms, But in life itself in so many forms." is a cold hard truth, so harsh, in fact, that I've always wondered if that compelled Hensley (who, all taken, was a good person even if off the rails until he beat the drugs) to write "The Magician's Birthday" with love triumphing in the end.
JP back with some more Heep! I'm glad you enjoy them so much.
All these decades of being a fan, the Uriah Heep "choir" (David and Ken multi-tracking) still stuns/inspires me. Very few, if any, bands have ever produced better vocals. This one from Wonderworld is a fantastic example of what David and Ken could do in the studio. And listen to Gary's fretwork as well. Cheers and thanks for reacting to Heep's D&W. czcams.com/video/ezdcpyBwCpQ/video.html
Wonderful
Although Mick is the main guitarist, Ken plays slide guitar on the The Spell. He's one of the best unsung slide guitarists. Circle of Hands is another one where Ken shines on slide guitar.
The song is about the fight between good and bad.
Gary Thain's bass on Paradise is killer
Afternoon, Justin. Dave In Old England Town. Thanks so much for reacquainting me with this album. Two really good songs to finish it off. I particularly liked Paradise - lovely guitar chords and I think it suited David Byron's voice - love his balladry, not so keen on his louder vibrato. The Spell had a brilliant middle section with the guitar solo leading to the Earth Song like tune (did anyone else hear the later Jacko number here?). Question is: do I regret favouring other bands over the Heep back in the early 70s? Well, when those bands included Deep Purple, Led Zeppelin, Focus, Wishbone Ash, The Moody Blues, ELP, Yes and Genesis, I couldn't afford to be liking everything.
You finished the album, and I haven't died of old age! Hahahaha
I gotta say, your reaction to this was fantastic. The album is meant to be heard in its entirety, so thank you for doing that! It's been high on my list of favorites since it came out. Probably this, Mott the Hoople's The Hoople, and Edgar Winter's White Trash Roadwork live album would be 3 I could not live without. Thanks for giving this one its due.
Thanks so much EWfan, I appreciate you :D
❤
If the Zeitgeist of those times could be filled into bottles I would be drunk all day long :)
My interpretation: (the songs is a mistery) It looks sort of dialogue of “fake love” between a Narcissistic lady and this man who discernere who is this person "What do you think I am? Do you think I'm dreaming? Don't you know I know what it is you're scheming?.... the narcissistics usually look for preys...they use to SPELL with a rapid suddenly romantic "love bombing” and afterward they preys fall in love istantaneally... the power of "love bombing" directed to new lover by this narcisistic... these words explain it to me: I feel you (narcissistic) trying Though in my heart I know you're lying... And though your love for me is dying( this is poetry to dedxribe this curse). Peole are affected for months once they follen in love by these ‘aliens’ having very rare power to seduce..not many people know about how many narcisstic people are taking captive naive people. Narcisstics rapidly discard them because they cannot love they do not know what it is to love in the genuine sense...This song makes sense to me in this way .
"I hear the sound of bacon frying...." Demons and wizards and scary hairy fairy nursery rhymes. I did wipe the smile off my face long enough to get drawn under The Spell during the slower middle section, and that may be my favourite part of the whole album. Musically these were two of the better tracks I've heard from the band. You can't fault their ambition, even if it doesn't always work for me. An enjoyable listen overall, if not always for the right reasons. David Byron's vocals are the best part of the band for me, and Mick Box, who is very rarely spoken of, is a more interesting guitar player than I was expecting.
I think the word you were searching for about the piano is a "run". I love this band's '70s output, love the harmonies and instrumentation. The lyrics might seem a little dated but I'm fine with it.
Hey JP try a reaction to the Song Stealin and Easy Livin by Uriah Heep if you haven’t already done so please 🙏 Those two songs have had more Air Play on the radio than any of their other songs and are the most popular songs from their history to !
It's funny to consider a thing in its own time and place. This album came out in 1972, when there was so much amazing music going on, with Yes, Crimson, Genesis, Van der Graaf Generator, Renaissance, Mahavishnu, etc. that this great album at any other time would have stood out as the masterpiece it is. I had the album, as well as those others, and this one was not committed to memory, although a few of the songs were. My bias, in retrospect, was probably that they were being conflated with show bands like Styx, rather than art bands like the giants.
Having always felt myself a wizard of sorts, I should have resonated with it more than I did...and I did hold them in high regard, and my opinions are worth less than nothing anyway, but I just wanted to give you some context from when it arrived on the scene. They would be in my top 20 easily, and maybe 10. The competition in the decade from '64-'74 was intense. I think it subsided when the Vietnam War subsided in early '75 when mindless disco music took root. Much of the great music was never on the radio though, but mining that period will yield high result. Uriah Heep's beautiful song "Rain" is my favorite rain song, and it is the song of theirs that play most often.
The funky fast organ based part of this song resembles "Foot Stompin' Music" by Grand Funk Railroad, from E Pluribus Funk, released in 1971. I like the guitar solo -- there's another great guitar part in "July Morning" from their next album Look At Yourself.
The best!!!
Ian Gillan meets Justin Hayward in a lift and out of it resonates a Vaudeville Pastiche of Formulaic Preportions which depreciates the instrumentation - or is it the repetitiveness & neutrality of the groove
Sorry 2Grooves? And an Elton John interlude with added Bowie SparkleDust which make me UNABLE to love this.
And we’ve arrived in the WestEnd just in time to catch the End of the Show.
Give me Phil Collins drummin and the rest of the G Boys on Broadway anyday of the week. They - and that show - was off the scale alternative epic originality.
Abba’s Waterloo owes a lot to this though.
Glad I’ve heard it.
Pure theatre meets Soap advertising.
(
I’ve had a tough week can u tell?)
Diolch JP
Eww. That was horrid! :(
@@DawnSuttonfabfour but i fully understand why u love it . If I’d heard it instead of Burn DP when i was a kid then it would be love all round quite possibly. It is shaken not stirred / cocktails on the roof. Peace 🌸
@@HippoYnYGlaw Thank you. My first true love was, and remains with The Beatles but man I adore the Heep. First band I ever saw live aged 15 with my very cool mum n dad. This line up and they were incredible.
@@DawnSuttonfabfour frankly that’s beautiful:>)
@@HippoYnYGlaw I have beautiful parents. I took my daughter to her first gig when she was 15 too. It was Good Charlotte, and they were pretty good. We had a great time, I highly recommend it as a venture with your teens. Peace 🕊
Голос Дэвида Байрона великолепен!❤
Great breakdown of the finale to this fantastic album, you caught the electronic treatment to Byron's voice as the song fades out on Paradise. I always wondered how they did this, it's a cool effect. It was used a lot in the Psychedelic Era in the late 60's, early 70's. A song that comes to mind incorporating it is Status Quo's, "Pictures of Matchstick Men." {studio version}
That effect on the vocals that you're talking about is called "Flanging". Rumor is that one of the Beatles accidentally leaned against the tape "reel" or "Flang" during playback of one of the tracks that they were listening to. The rest is history. Years later, it was electronically created. Such a cool effect and one of my favorites. It can be used on vocals and instruments.
Thanks, little bit of rock history there!@@ParanormalLight
Kind of late to the reaction. JP and others, might I recommend viewing the The Magician's Birthday Party DVD released in 2002. This special concert features Mick Box, Bernie Shaw, Trevor Bolder, Phil Lanzon, with special guests Ken Hensley, John Lawton, and Thijs van Leer. The set list includes Paradise/The Spell featuring Hensley, Tales featuring Thijs van Leer (it will give you chills), FreeNEasy featuring John Lawton. Other songs are Return to Fantasy, Magician's Brithday, Stealin, July Morning and more. One of my all time favourite concert DVD's.
Печально лишь одно: в 1972-ом этот альбом не попал даже в первую 20-ку англо-американского хит-парада!! Какие уши и мозги должны были быть у тех людей, которые по достоинству оценили новые альбомы Deep Purple и Led Zeppelin, но пропустили мимо себя новые альбомы Uriah Heep..?! / The only sad thing is that in 1972 this album did not even hit the top 20 of the Anglo-American charts!! What ears and brains must have been for those people who appreciated the new albums of Deep Purple and Led Zeppelin, but missed the new albums of Uriah Heep.. ?!
I love this album...
If you want to continue with heep - any of the first 7 would be a safe choice, but honestly with 2 exceptions (Conquest and Sonic Origami) the whole catalog is amazing to my ears.
If you want a concrete recommendation, Look At Yourself.
Top of the morn to ya J.P.! 'Ole audiophile returns. Notice how quiet I was during the rendition of my favorite Uriah Heep performance? Because the last song is best! This is by far their best album as a whole. Boy, do I have memories of playing this over & over. Enjoy, you couldn't have picked a better selection if you tried. thanx as usual.
What a magic album....still! ...and I'm a 62 year old bass playing fart
Uriah Heep were often unfairly dismissed (not by yourself!) as dimwitted heavy rock with over-the-top operatic vocals (yeah, Rolling Stone magazine - looking at you. Again.). A listen to the albums around this period should dispel any notion that they were one-note simpletons. Paradise is a nice ballad and The Spell runs through three or four styles fairly successfully though Mick Box's solo is definitely the highlight.
Well said.
I PLAYED THIS FOR MY GIRLFRIEND TO KNOW HOW I WAS FEELING ABOUT OUR RELATIONSHIP LONG AGO. ALTHOUGH SHE DIDN'T HAVE A CLUE WTH I WAS TRYING TO SAY BY PLAYIN THIS SONG FOR HER ON MY CAR STEREO, WE'VE BEEN NOW BEEN MARRIED 42 YEARS. I STILL THINK SHE'S CLUELESS, LOL
I have been listening to the new Porcupine Tree album, Closure/Continuation. Population Three is an instrumental which, in parts, reminds me of Pink Floyd's Run Like Hell. They are both great pieces of music that are worthy of a listen on your channel.
would have loved to hear byron singing either jesus or judas characters from jesus christ superstar., i think he had the range, it would be interesting for sure
My biggest problem with this side is I kept comparing it to Wishbone Ash's "Handy" and "Phoenix" and I found it wanting in comparison (just based on personal preferences in those teen years). I enjoyed these song back in the day but they were A- tier vs A+/S of others. edited to add... I see those subscription figures creeping up. Thank goodness as it seemed like they were stalled for a bit.
Been watching Andy&Alex a lot? 😁
@@pentagrammaton6793lol. I watch them some times. Like all reactors not named JustJP, I only watch if I am interested in the group and song. With Justin, I watch them all even if I don't care for the band or the genre.
KEN HENSLEY ON KEYS AND SLIDE GUITAR.
HEY JP I think you know I love the HEEP. Why is no one mentioning the first album🤪 Very Eavy Very Umble. it's first track Gypsy is so in your face HUGE keys and vocals. I guess youllll get to it at some stage 👍✌️.
Musical artistry that what it is...
Listen to them in order some time and close your eyes and let your imagination illustrate the story. I really believe this could be turned into a great movie rock opera
The relationship is essentially the one one has with oneself, I think. There might be some literal demons, wizards, angels, and saints mixed in with that, but in the end it's about inner struggles. (I read most of that somewhere, long, long, long ago - so I suppose "I think" boils down to something more like, "I believe").
I had a friend who had a simpler version of this idea that he used to explain absolutely everything in life. It went like this, on his left shoulder he had this little red fellow, with horns, a spiky tail and a trident. On his right shoulder, he had a shiny little fellow in radiant white robes, with wings. I think the way in which one's behaviour can almost always be reduced to some kind of conflict resolved between Fred and Robin (those were their names) is quite easy to see. (My friend's Fred was always beating his Robin up, and getting my poor friend into lots of trouble.)
And then on a good tangent with not so great sound quality. (Huh? Tangent? Sound quality? What's the connection? Shh). *Living Colour* are back! They had a concert in Brazil just the other day, and Steve Vai was a guest of theirs. (Steve is one of the few guitarists who're in the same league as Vernon Reid, just in case you haven't heard of him.) There's a whole concert available to view on CZcams (with better sound), but I'll give a link to just their performance of *Cult of Personality* (which seems relevant in so many ways, today, too). czcams.com/video/FECnueCDE6Y/video.html
(I see Corey Glover is wearing a kind of "orange dreadlocks" wig/hat. I wonder if he's taking a little dig at a certain obnoxious politician who has artificial orange hair? I hope so.)
If you sometimes watch the work of a certain Stevie T, you'll know he's actually a seriously capable musician. And now he's gone and outdone himself. Here's a metal song of his called *Knipslot* czcams.com/video/UlxFuEQUa0w/video.html (Something you can laugh at and look at with admiration all at the same time.)
I’m finding out, thanks to your channel, that I really like strong, complex rhythm. It’s why I like metal and funk so much. Rock music tends to be rhythmically bland to me so it’s not a go-to genre. This is not an album that I would listen to again. I still like to hear and learn, though.
Lee Kerslake played with Ozzy Osbourne and Randy Rhodes on the first two solo efforts by Ozzy. That’s rock I like! The track Diary of Madman is a goody with some progressive elements.
For funk, check out Justice by Dumpstaphunk
Not for everyone, but I love this album. Influenced metal for sure. I like lots more complex music also, just a different vibe.
@@johndrx165 I consider myself a product of the 80’s. The only 70’s rock bands on my radar were Black Sabbath and Led Zeppelin. If I was born 10 years earlier, I probably would’ve eaten this up!
@@jaybird4093 I first heard this in the 90s and it was like a breath of fresh, analogue air when a lot of music had become cluttered, even cold. Kerslake and Thain allow for space so the music can breathe, something that's become almost like a lost art, imo. Any more from them would've probably undercut the nuances of the melodies.
That Ozzy track is surprisingly progressive, but then he did cover King Crimson and sang on a Wakeman song...
50 years old in 2022
A great album. Maybe the least played track. I like it.
A vid of two halves. I've found this album bitty, some good but a bit of a jumble. Re these tracks, Paradise, for me, best track on the album. A beautiful song, fantastic acoustic geet, and great bass underpinning it. Now The Spell, quite a different story. I found the incongruity jarring. That opening minute and a half, the chirpy upbeat, almost Doo-wop start (anyone else hearing Darts here?) I found just odd, also it's reprise. The mid piece was fine, I liked this, but to bracket it how they did... just wrong.
I feel the same as you about The Spell, but still probably my favourite from the album. I would quite like to hear Darts here. Underrated band.
@@delorangeade If you agree with my damning condemnaton of The Spell, but then say it's your fave on the LP... Boy, you must really hate the other tracks 🙂 Re Darts. Not sure how infuential they were, but if we both start name dropping, maybe we'll see them here on day, ha.
@@jfergs.3302 It was the middle bit of The Spell I liked, but I find most of the album unintentionally amusing, especially lyrically. I'm sure I would have enjoyed it greatly when I was fourteen years old, but I hope I've aged rather better than it has.
@@delorangeade Oh right. Yeah, that was the part i didn't mind. It's the way it was bookended that spoilt it, as a whole.
I see your point but I still love it.
please reaction to uriah heep - sweet freedom song, saludos desde Peru
Simpatic baiatu asta.....
Musically it's great and the vocals are great, but lyrically, it's a little thin, too much rhyming for me. I also highly recommend you do the " Look at yourself" album next.
It rocks! 🤠👍🤠
Still better then today's music and lyrics
@@stevenbeck5746 absolutely, Taylor Swift? 🤮🤢
О чём тут ещё можно говорить, приятель, когда ты итак всё это феноменально разобрал и разместил по полочкам?! Только о том, что этот альбом - мой самый любимый альбом Uriah Heep, а эти последние два трэка - мои самые любимые на этом альбоме!! Это было создано музыкантами с огромной любовью... и на века!! / What else is there to talk about, buddy, when you have dismantled all this phenomenally and placed it on the shelves?! Only that this album is my absolute favorite Uriah Heep album and these last two tracks are my absolute favorites on this album!! It was created by musicians with great love... and for the ages!!
I got lost in this one.
It seems to me Paradise is a man's feelings in dying relationship.
I wonder what kind of music will be in 40 yrs from now that'll you'll be listening to others react to all the tunes of today?
To be honest, those were some of the more boring/pedestrian Uriah Heep tracks I've heard.
Please Justin, come back to Deep Purple in Rock or Fireball instead, which are way more exciting than that lymphatic stuff. I find that nothing happens in either of these two pieces which, moreover, are very badly linked together.
Disagree. Prog does not NOT live and die with Purple!
More Deep Purple, gladly.But if you don't like something, why disqualify it like that? Are you not open to the fact that things beyond your taste, others find quite good?
Verbal garbage you can keep.
@@theheepster No of course not, silly. I just get a bit tired of DP being the touchstone. I thought they were great but Heep, just a certain something. The time, place and memories play their part, of course, but I can and do, regularly replay UH even now. DP I don't.
@@theheepster It's called giving your opinion! is it beyond you?
@@DawnSuttonfabfour I don't consider Deep Purple or Uriah Heep to be progressive bands. They play more or less sophisticated rock, but it's far from being prog rock.
