Budgie were one of the early heavy metal prototypes in the early 70’s…Kinda a cross between Blue Cheer and early Rush…(and Burke’s look & voice often compared to Geddy Lee) Famously often covered by Metallica, but legends in their own right

Just skipped through a few songs from their 1971 album. Wow, very heavy for 1971, but very textured, with acoustic guitar. Maybe a little Led Zep influence in there. Good stuff.

"All Night Petrol" starts slow and boring, but builds into a big exciting epic song!

Holy crap, hard to miss the similarities, all the way up the drummer's 16th note triplets down the toms. Even the snare sounds similar. This one came out five years later, though.
