4.0 out of 5 stars Truly Essential, December 17, 2003

This review is from: Essential UFO (Audio CD)

I have been a fan of this top quality band since the early 70's and, to me, this is indeed a very good compilation of UFO's best hits. They were in a league of their own, as I am sure most serious fans will agree, and I highly appreciate their quantity in longevity as well as their superb distintive sound. It is a crime that they were not given more attention by the music establishment. My only complaint about this compilation would be the inclusion of 2 extra songs, (besides, of course, the hit 'Only You Can Rock Me'), from 'Obsession', which I feel is questionable as there are so many other great songs to choose from.
One thing I feel must be mentioned also: Michael Shenker did NOT start this band, he joined it. There were 3 albums prior to 'Phenomenon' with a solid guitar player in his own right by the name of Nick Bolton.

U F O ! R O C K O N !!

5.0 out of 5 stars Definative "Best Of", July 13, 2005

This remastered recording has all of the classic songs from UFO's premier lineup (ie- Michael Schenker is on guitar). Although they have continued to have some commercial success after he initially left to form MSG, it is the material he cowrote that gets the crowds jumping. If you are looking to go beyond this disc I would HIGHLY recommend their classic live album "Strangers In The Night", the brilliant reunion album "Walk On Water", and their latest "You Are Here".

4.0 out of 5 stars I had heard Doctor Doctor / Lights Out and that is the, April 7, 2004

This review is from: Essential UFO (Audio CD)

reason that I purchased this CD by UFO. But what truly amazed me is that the entire CD is really good, the entire CD rocks. Its heavy, melodic and the balad's that are on the CD are really excellant work. I don't know the band members names other than Michael Schenker, but if they were to tour, I would see them. Essential UFO is a great cd from start to finish and I listen to it often. Excellant!
