I tried to be a heavy metal freak when I was 13

So went out and bought A farewell to Kings and 2112 by Rush and Strangers in the night by UFO. With xmas record vouchers. Put them on and the discovered they were all shlte
Straight up.

I wouldn't have described Rush or UFO as 'heavy metal'.

heavy metal is for college rejects and the kind of guys who were bullied at school, most of whom end up cops, i bet most metal concerts are full of coppers and supermarket security guards, determined to express their "inner rage" in an alternative context

They had their heavy metal moments, but not on the three albums Mr.Morgan has mentioned. Plus all three of them are great, 2112 in fact is a masterpiece.

Fair enough.

Rush had some good tunes, although the singing puts me off. Not really heard much UFO other than some stuff on YouTube.
