Classic Rock Record Review: UFO's 1978 album "Obsession"

from The Classic Rock Addict · host Mark Patrick

Classic rock talk by The Classic Rock Addict.If you listened to rock in the 70s, you've probably heard of the English rock band UFO, formed in 1968. Some of their most-recognised songs include "Doctor Doctor", "Rock Bottom", "Natural Thing", "Lights Out", "Too Hot to Handle" and "Only You Can Rock Me". UFO is considered one of the great classic hard rock acts, and often cited as one of the key influences on the 1980s and 1990s hard rock and heavy metal scenes. Their more popular albums are "Phenomenon," "Force It," "No Heavy Petting" and "Lights Out." Though not as well known, "Obsession," released in 1978, rocks as hard, and I think even better, than those albums. I'll take you through each track of the album and also you'll learn some history about this great record that should be in your collection!ABOUT MEHello- I'm Mark Patrick, a self-professed Classic Rock addict… I grew up in the 70s, when some of the greatest rock music ever recorded, was on the radio… and at your local record store!
