The Best of UFO 1974-1983

Performer: UFO
Distributor: EMI Music Distribution

Notes: Ever-morphing UFO's influence on the new wave of British heavy metal cannot be underestimated. With an ever-changing sound that incorporated everything from Lynyrd Skynyrd to Black Sabbath, THE BEST OF UFO (1974-1983) spans a swath of the band's greatest triumphs, some with founding member Michael Schenker, some without, including the classics "Doctor Doctor" and "Only You Can Rock Me."

Record Collector (magazine) (p.102) - 3 stars out of 5 -- "[M]ost of the material here is undeniably top class hard rock....A perfect introduction to a great band..."

UFO were a British hard rock band who, during the course of their long career, dabbled in blues rock, space rock, metal, and AOR. The band is often cited as a key influence on the NWOBHM. Formed in 1969, UFO pirated away a young Michael Schenker from the Scorpions. The then-fledgling guitar hero graced some of the band's most well-regarded albums, and is credited with helping UFO define their signature sound, before rejoining the Scorpions in the late '70s. The '80s were not kind to UFO, though the band's classic line-up (including Schenker) did re-form for an album and shows in the mid '90s.
