Breadfan.

Breaking All The House Rules

In The Grip Of a Tyrefitters Hands

Parents.

Zoom Club

Hammer and Tongs

And many more. Most of the seventies albums are superb. They went metal in the eighties.

All of their albums up to and including 1982's Deliver Us From Evil are worthwhile and recommended listening, the best one being Impeckable-the six-string guitarist after Impeckable is John Thomas, and before that, Tony Bourge, one of the most under-rated musicians ever-with John Thomas, the band became more straight ahead metal, but still music of a high quality-they became their most progressive with If I Were Brittania and Impeckable

Budgie-Budgie (1971)
          -Squawk (1972)
          -Never Turn Your Back On A Friend (1973)
          -In For The Kill (1974)
          -Bandolier (1975)
          -If I Were Brittania, I'd Waive The Rules (1976)
          -Impeckable (1978)
          -If Swallowed, Do Not Induce Vomiting (EP-1979)
          -Power Supply (1980-best album put out in the 80's)
          -Nightflight (1981)
          -Deliver Us From Evil (1982)

             i have not heard anything beyond this, so cannot judge on that

Deliver Us From Evil features, for the first time, a keyboardist, Duncan Mackay
           In 1980, Budgie headlined the Reading Festival in England, and returned to do the same in 81 and 82
              Original guitarist Tony Bourge and drummer Ray Phillips reformed and released an album under the name Tredegar-never heard it, but heard that it is true to the Budgie sound
                 For awhile in the seventies, they had an additional guitarist named Myf Isaac, and also had former Trapeze guitar player Rob Kendrick as part of the band at one point in the seventies

If I were you, I'd go out and buy the first five albums and Night Flight, which was released in 1981. They have an excellent musical direction, if you ask me.

[QUOTE]

Ha! I play in a Budgie tribute band! here:

http://www.inforthekill.webeden.co.uk/

It's a pity you are in Australia or you cold come and watch us Smile

Here's some for you:

Breadfan - Never Turn You're Back On A Friend
Parents - Never Turn You're Back On A Friend
Nude Disintigrating Parachutist Woman - Budgie (1st)
Hot As A Docker's Armpit - Squawk
Young Is A world - Squawk
Breaking All The House Rules - Bandolier
In For the Kill - In For The Kill
Melt The Ice Away - Impeckable
if I Were Britannia I'd Waive The Rules - If I Were Britannia i'd Waive The Rules
You're Opening Doors - If I Were Britannia i'd Waive The Rules
Pyramids - Impeckable
Napoleon Bona parts1 +2 - Bandolier

After 1979 they went more HM. If you like this try
Forearm Smash - Power Supply
I Turned To Stone - Nightflight
Time To Remember - Power Supply
Panzer Division Destroyed - Power Supply
Bored With Russia - Deliver us From Evil (poor album)
Dead men Don't Talk - You're All living in Cuckooland (another poor album)

If you were going to try an album i'd go for Bandolier it's my fave and the most consistant. Hope this helps....
Tony C.
