THE ANGELS "their finest hour-and then some" cd,2008.
not really a best of set by these pub rockers from Australia, moreso an overview of their first four studio albums between 76-79...before they actually started to sell records and have hits.
guess, its really an intruduction to them for those who werent a part of the huge "pub rock" circuit in the 1970s here...
no matter what, these guys always played secong fiddle to AC/DC and Cold Chisel back in the day...not surprising IMO as there a seven tracks i simply do not like here.
not sure whether you'd really call them hard rock or not...sort of a grey area like Chisel and AC/DC...more heavy blues rock IMO, but like those other two groups that is what they call themselves.
sure, they made some very good sing-a-long rock n rol, but the best track for me here is the Dylanesque ballad "whitest lady"...never really thought much to this song, but it hit me the other day when playing this just how good it is...guess its stood up better than some of their other more well known tracks.
so eighteen tracks,
3s=4
2s=7
1s=7
giving an oveall rating of 1.9.... the links included are for the ones that scored three stars and a couple of the ones that just missed out.
whitest lady
