Though they've had nearly as many personnel changes as Spinal Tap, Uriah Heep are one of the UK's most enduring bands. In the 1970s, they had several hit singles and albums to their credit with their mixture of hard rock (with progressive overtones) and engaging pop melodies, and British prog-rock legend John Wetton (King Crimson, UK, Asia) was once a member. This best-of collection gives a nice retrospective of the group's post-'70s career.

Despite a Spinal Tap-like inability to secure a drummer, British band Uriah Heep has continued to roll with the punches since 1969. Their eclectic approach to rock folds Tolkeinian dragons-and-dwarves imagery into grand musical themes that draw on prog, metal, acid rock, and pastoral folk. The band were fairly popular in the U.K. in the '70s, and their albums charted respectably in the U.S. during this time as well. As the musical landscape shifted in the later '70s, the band's popularity died down, but they have continued to release albums (their live discography is rather lengthy) and tour, and remain popular in Eastern Europe and Japan.
