Glad to know that one of the greatest bands of all time is still touring! But for me, LOOK AT YOURSELF is their greatest work. JULY MORNING is a stunning masterpiece.
HANDS DOWN , ONE OF THE WORLD'S FINEST ROCK BAND ! HARD TO CHOOSE FIVE ALBUMS OUT OF SO MANY , BUT ... #5 SALISBURY #4 FIREFLY #3 RETURN TO FANTASY #2 MAGICIAN'S BIRTHDAY #1 DEMONS AND WIZARDS THANK YOU FOR THE MUSIC , URIAH HEEP !!!
This is one of the greatest rockers the world will ever know, we met him in Vancouver Canada many moons ago He was quick with a handshake and smile, a very humble man who has given the world fantastic music Thank you for this excellent and fascinating video Cheers !
In '73 I saw these guys for the first time. I snuck under the rope while they were playing and got a close-up picture of Mick facing the rear of the stage, but that meant facing right at me. He of course had a cigarette attached to the end of the guitar.
In my humble opinion “ High Priestess” was and still is a rock anthem of the highest order! Every part of it....in every way! What a song....what a band 👏🏻💥🎸👌
Fantastic human being! Mick’s up there with the greatest! Incredible how respectful he talks about Def Leppard (Heep being their elders by more than a decade)! Just shows how humble he is!
1. Look at Yourself 2. Demons and Wizards 3. Sweet Freedom 4. The Magicians Birthday 5. Firefly These are my top 5, because they are the most complete top to bottom, and carry common themes musically and lyrically throughout. I will list 5 honorable mentions that didn't make the cut. 1. Salisbury 2. Wonder world 3. Innocent Victim 4. Abominog 5. Wake the Sleeper
I hung out with Mick Box at a gig I was playing in El Paso in 1985. He was just like this. So friendly. It was one of my favorite classic rock star encounters ever.
@@davidvasquez8658 Do you remember a rock club in the ‘80s that had a spinning barbers chair? They would mix drinks in your mouth and then spin the chair? That was the club Mick and I were at.
Saw them in August 1973 with Z.Z. Top the opening act in Portland, Maine. My favorite all time band but I never got past David Byron departing. No one could replace that voice.
I saw them the next month in Nashville with ZZ Top. Great show. I had a drink at the bar with David Byron at their hotel after the show and talked music with him. They were never the same after he left. They are (like some other bands of that era) just a tribute band now.
Magician´s birthday and Salisbury, their greatest albums. The title track on Magician´s birthday, their best song ever. Just listen to the middle part with Box and Kerslake, amazing guitar solo.
@@symbiosisai Don´t mean to be rude, but, it´s Look at yourself, not "for"! But I agtee with you - partly, great record, but I put that record as number three on my list, Magician´s birthday is unbelievable, an amazing album. But the title track on Look at yourself, the keyboard part by Mr. Ken Hensley, amazing!.
Great guy and a great musician my favourite album would probably be Sweet Freedom but I like them all to fair in different ways it's very hard to choice from this all time great legendary group
Love Mick! My Brother!! So enjoyed my pint of Guinness with him!! One could not meet a nicer person!! Truly love this man!! My Dutch (1974 Miss Netherlands) wife says one of the nicest gentleman she has ever met, have to agree!! Def Leppard not even close to Uriah Heep!! What I love most about Mick is he has brought the band so often to my home in Israel, we love you here!! No BS Anti-Semitism, just brought your incredible music and love!!
Very humble bloke,Cockney accent,reminds me Steve Harris in the way he Talk and the sense of humor,working class attitude,anyway,It's a pleasure seeing Mick Talkin' about his favourite albums and It's not Easy to pick only five great albums,that's how great are Uriah Heep to me,could be Seven albums at least and I'm not a hughe die hard fan of the band but surely they eat in same table with Deep Purple,Led Zeppelin and Blacksabbath and not necessarily in that order,so this is my top 5 àlbums. 1.Look at yourself. 2.The Magician's birthday 3.Demons and Wizards. 4.Sweet Freedom 5.Firefly.
For me Salisbury is way on top. Because of the title track, one of the few instances a rock band masters a longer format in a convincing way from beginning to end. And Mick‘s solo in that piece still sends shivers down my spine after listening to it time and again!
1-Look at yourself 2- very eavy3- demons and wizards 4-magician's birthday/ sweet freedom # 5 would be salisbury Most agree Fred is the #1 rock vocalist of all time. David Byron would be #2 Dio#3 Morrison #4
,...well, friends of HEEP, v e r y hard to say; but, to give an adequate example: INCREDIBLE S H A D O W S O F G R I E F O:-) !!! BERNIE/GERMANY 64 of age - first record of UH was the single W H Y/T H E W I Z A R D 14 yrs old B-)
Holy Fuck! Cant believe I just read this! It has always been my favorite and of course Rain. I loved how the slide guitar would go back and forth between the speakers!!! Great Song, just fucking awesome. Oh, and I really like it too. lololol
I was born in 1967, and I first listened to my uncle's Uriah Heep records, and then eventually sort of inherited many of those which had passed on to my aunt, as payment for baby-sitting for her... Oh, and I got her double-LP of Sweet's "Strung Up" double album years before CD's were invented. :D But, as Mick says, there are so many Uriah Heep albums to choose from... My first to get my hands on were Look at Yourself, Demons and Wizards, Magicians Birthday, Sweet Freedom and Return to Fantasy, so those formed the core of what I loved about Uriah Heep back then, in the mid-70's to mid-80's, originally. But then I got smacked in the face by a record I got as part of a package-deal from my then-Music-Club: Fallen Angels! That one was so good, and then I got Firefly. Hanging Tree, Wise Man, so good things to remember out of those! Woman of the Night, Falling in Love, Fallen Angel I hesitate to state it, but I feel strongly that the redoubtable Mick Box partook of those recordings! :D I sure hope Mick Box will think nicely about John Lawton's contributions to the Uriah Heep canon! Many of us love those as much as both the early records and Abominog (Wow, I did like that one, once I discovered it).
Mick Box comes accross as a really nice guy. And his playing is great. I was a great fan of Uriah Heep in their early days, but I have never heard one of their later albums. I must try to get some of those and have a listen.
Have all the albums but the out and out best album is clearly High n' Mighty. This album is just so good. Had a mate at school in the 70s who thought this was their best as well. Naturally Magician's Birthday and Demons and Wizards are the next best. Return To Fantasy was amazing but High n' Mighty just blew the Richter scale. So underrated.
Not gonna argue with the great Mick Box, but here's my top five: Demons and Wizards Magician's Birthday Look at Yourself Very 'Eavy, Very 'Umble Wake the Sleeper
Great interview! And he has his own fully justified reasons for his picks, of course. But for me as merely a listener and fan, I'll actually agree with his first two and 5th picks (debut, Demons & Wizards, Wake The Sleeper) while replacing his 3rd with Look At Yourself and his 4th with Sea Of Light. Or I likely would replace their debut with Into The Wild. But regardless, "Sea Of Light" and "Demons and Wizards" are my top two, without a doubt!
Finally somebody cited Sea of Light! I discovered Heep in the mid 80’s and bought many of the old albums. Demons and Wizards blew me away and made me a believer. However I enjoyed all the early records right up to Sweet Freedom, after which they tailed off and I stopped listening. Sure Abominog was a rebirth record but I found it overrated. Then I heard nothing more from them until I picked up Popoff’s collectors guides to metal. Now armed with Spotify and UA-cam I have checked out many of the later records and got blown away again. Sea of Light is a forgotten masterpiece and criminally underrated. See how few even mention it?
Surprised to not see any love for Wonderworld in the comments. Might just be my favorite. They just went absolutely hard, the whole band was just on top of their game.
So the most important Uriah Heep albums according to Mick Box are: 1. Very Eavy..., 2. Demons&Wizards, 3.Abominog, 4.Outsider, 5. Wake The Sleeper... well, that's not your regular Heeplist for sure :)))))
Demons & Wizards took them to a new level for a reason and that reason was it was their best album ever, and I think one of THE top rock albums of all time.
I certainly would not have picked "Outsider", but the rest of his list is close. I would have tried to find room for "Magician's Birthday" or maybe even "Sweet Freedom" instead. Glad he picked "Wake the Sleeper", which was the best Bernie Shaw album, imho. I hadn't been interested in Shaw or the band for years until that came out.
I know many would disagree, but for me -- actually nothing changed, I would have had same opinion back in the 70's: 1. Look At Yourself (absolutely no doubt, it's #1 Heep album!), 2. Demons And Wizards, 3. Return To Fantasy, 4. Firefly (yes, Firefly!) 5. Magician's Birthday. Period.
...and BTW, my fist two albums that I recorded on tape back in 1977 were... guess what? -- yes! Look At Yourself and Machine Head! Still consider those to be absolute TOP of Rock albums ever made!
Sea of light, Salisbury, Demons and wizards, look at yourself, Abominog, Firefly, Sonic origami, wonderworld, head first, Conquest...all essential albums.
Of the later albums. Sonic Oragami has to be there.. Demons,Wonderworld.Look at Yourself and Magicians Bday round out the best..High and Mughty close to these in rankings...Forgot about Return to Fantasy!! Shoot, so many
Glad to know that one of the greatest bands of all time is still touring! But for me, LOOK AT YOURSELF is their greatest work. JULY MORNING is a stunning masterpiece.
- Sweet Freedom
- Demons & Wizards
- The Magician's Birthday
- Look At Yourself
- Very Eavy... Very Umble
YES!
Alberto-- probably my exact line-up.

I love Salisbury, definitely my top 3
Used to play the drums along with the title track of that album... some serious family memories concerning it too! God is so good......
well, me! It's my no1 no doubt
Amazing album
Awesome album. The title track ruled, very solid album. They weren't afraid of taking chances. A sign of things to come
My favourite, still love Uriah Heep after all years
From the newer stuff especially Wake the sleeper is a superb album. I'm not surprised that Mick talked a lot about it.
I hung out with Mick Box at a gig I was playing in El Paso in 1985. He was just like this. So friendly. It was one of my favorite classic rock star encounters ever.
Wow Steve.I saw them most everytime they played in my hometown EL PASO TX! Unfortunately I never have met Mick.What a lucky man you are.ELP.😉
@@davidvasquez8658 Do you remember a rock club in the ‘80s that had a spinning barbers chair? They would mix drinks in your mouth and then spin the chair? That was the club Mick and I were at.

Great guy and a great musician my favourite album would probably be Sweet Freedom but I like them all to fair in different ways it's very hard to choice from this all time great legendary group
1). Salisbury
2). Demons and Wizards
3). Sweet Freedom
4). Magician's Birthday
5). Uriah Heep Live
Hardly anyone mentioned Live! One of the GOAT.

Some musicians love their craft and their actions and longevity proves it
For me Salisbury is way on top. Because of the title track, one of the few instances a rock band masters a longer format in a convincing way from beginning to end. And Mick‘s solo in that piece still sends shivers down my spine after listening to it time and again!
1. Salisbury - I love
2. Demons & Wizards
3. Look at Yourself

5. Firefly - so good
I love Heep. Cheers
The Lawton era is very underrated! I would definitely at least consider all 3 albums for top 5.
I would had guessed the last in the end to pick would had been Sea of Light. Good melodic album. But after a decade Wake the Sleeper was nice too (y)
1-Look at yourself 2- very eavy3- demons and wizards 4-magician's birthday/ sweet freedom # 5 would be salisbury Most agree Fred is the #1 rock vocalist of all time. David Byron would be #2 Dio#3 Morrison #4
Um dos melhores guitarristas do Mundo em todos aspectos
My all time favorite Heep song is Tears in My Eyes.
Absolutely agree!... It's as epic as Stairway to Heaven IMO...
Great song!! Although not your typical Heep song as it contains no keyboards.

And of course, 1973’s Live.
Los cinco primeros álbumes de Uriah Heep son insuperables!!!!!
For me it's very simple : the David Byron era that was the best albums Uriah Heep ever made.
Surprised to not see any love for Wonderworld in the comments. Might just be my favorite. They just went absolutely hard, the whole band was just on top of their game.
I like Wonderworld a lot. Not my top 5. Probably in my top 10 though
I would include Wonderworld (maybe not their best, but it was the first Heep album I got, which made me a fan) and Sea of Light.
My favorite
gotta love mick
Sweet Freedom-Look At Yourself.
Demons, Magicians B-Day, Outsider, Abominog, Return
So the most important Uriah Heep albums according to Mick Box are: 1. Very Eavy..., 2. Demons&Wizards, 3.Abominog, 4.Outsider, 5. Wake The Sleeper... well, that's not your regular Heeplist for sure :)))))
Long live the Heepsters ! \m/
Very Eavy...Very Umble, Demons & Wizards, The Magicians Birthday, Return to fantasy and Sweet Freedom.
Look at Yourself is number 1 für me
Mine are: 1. Demons & Wizards. 2. Salisbury 3. Wonderworl 4. Return to Fantasy and 5.Sweet Freedom.....i do like others vey much.
Mick Box is a legend and one hell of a nice human being!
Magicians Birthday and Demons are my favorites.
Demons & Wizards took them to a new level for a reason and that reason was it was their best album ever, and I think one of THE top rock albums of all time.
Wake the sleeper is an absolute gem
wake the sleeper great album up there with the byron era imo
My favourite are: Demons and wizards, The magician's birthday, Innocent victim, Firefly, High and mighty
Sweet Freedom
I was subliminally urging Mick to say the magician's birthday.. I would have to include that in my personal favorites
Look at yourself
Salisbury
Very eavy very umble
The Magician's Birthday
Wonderworld
Gosto de tudo que Uriah Heep produz.
The Magician's Birthday I think is still their best, but Wake the Sleeper is a triumphant come back, maybe a close second.
Class act. Love this man.
Cuál January 1973?OK.
I certainly would not have picked "Outsider", but the rest of his list is close. I would have tried to find room for "Magician's Birthday" or maybe even "Sweet Freedom" instead. Glad he picked "Wake the Sleeper", which was the best Bernie Shaw album, imho. I hadn't been interested in Shaw or the band for years until that came out.
What a lovely, lovely man
I know many would disagree, but for me -- actually nothing changed, I would have had same opinion back in the 70's: 1. Look At Yourself (absolutely no doubt, it's #1 Heep album!), 2. Demons And Wizards, 3. Return To Fantasy, 4. Firefly (yes, Firefly!) 5. Magician's Birthday. Period.
...and BTW, my fist two albums that I recorded on tape back in 1977 were... guess what? -- yes! Look At Yourself and Machine Head! Still consider those to be absolute TOP of Rock albums ever made!

All albums from 1969-75. After that it wasn't Heep anymore.

Advantage of Magician's Birthday album is that all songs have similar mood , climate. Sunrise, Blind eye..etc whole album is on same high level.
Btw i like all old to Fallen Angel and than Sea of light
