Third Anniversary Show!

   

"Budgie" by Budgie (1971)
CLASSIC ALBUM OF THE WEEK
Budgie  "Budgie"  1971 (UK-Wales)
Rodger Bain is an unsung architect of the heavy rock sound, having produced the first three Black Sabbath albums, as well as the debut by Judas Priest and the first two albums by the lesser-known Welsh power trio Budgie.  Budgie is best known these days because Metallica covered a couple of their songs in the 1980's, including "Crash Course In Brain Surgery" off of this, their first album.  (Metallica discovered the band when Budgie's former lead singer & bassist Burke Shelley worked as a roadie on one of their first European tours.)
Here's a video clip for the other Budgie tune Metallica covered, called "Breadfan";  and here's a later non-hit, "I Ain't No Mountain";  finally, here's the reconstituted band playing "Panzer Division Destroyed" live in Poland 2007!
