Ex-UFO bassist Pete Way has sadly died from injuries sustained in a car crash 2 months ago. He's the second former member of UFO to die in the last 2 months, Paul Chapman being the other. https://www.blabbermouth.net/news/legendary-ufo-bassist-pete-way-dead-at-69/" rel="nofollow - https://www.blabbermouth.net/news/legendary-ufo-bassist-pete-way-dead-at-69/

| So few of my early music heroes still around. Time for some UFO and Waysted On the player I think. |

I still haven´t managed to listen to a single note of UFO yet...
...but on topic it´s of course a sad passing, and from the many comments from musicians who knew him he seemed to be both an immensely talented and influential performer, but also a very kind person. ------------- http://www.lyngby-boldklub.dk/" rel="nofollow - Forever TRUE - Forever BLUE! https://rateyourmusic.com/~UMUR" rel="nofollow - UMUR on RYM |

Never was a huge UFO fan but i did pick up their entire 70s run a few years ago. They had a few good albums but nothing that absolutely blows me away. Still, great band. RIP, dude -------------

Don't know the band that well, but this is a classic. |

R.I.P Haven't gotten around to exploring UFO's discog much, but Flying and Phenomenon are great albums. ------------- If I say fuck two more times that's forty-six fucks in this fucked up rhyme |

| Can’t believe no-one has a full UFO back catalogue on their shelf. What’s wrong with folk? 😉😂 |

| I've got most their 70's and 80's stuff but I've been selective since then. |

You saying I should pick up the Mechanix album next time I see five copies at the store for the hundredth time?  ------------- If I say fuck two more times that's forty-six fucks in this fucked up rhyme |

I wouldn’t be so presumptuous Khaliq, you may hate it, but tracks like We Beling To The Night and Let It Rain are cracking hard rock / melodic metal tracks

Could be great as I've never heard it, but it's what I always see at the store. Should I start with that or is there a better album to start with post-Phenomenon? ------------- If I say fuck two more times that's forty-six fucks in this fucked up rhyme |

| Accessible and consistent and in the budget range, I’d start with Lights Out. All between Phenomenon and Making Contact are decent and all have highlights along with the occasional filler. |

| The live album Strangers In The Night is brilliant with most of the classics on it from the 70's and better versions too IMO. |
