A Heavy Metal Podcast - The Mighty Decibel

For today's playlist we focus on English veterans Thunder where we curate the best 40 minutes from their extensive catalogue. Unfairly maligned to my mind; sure, they played the hair metal card at first, but name a band that didn't bend to current trends at one point in time. Rather, in Thunder we have a hard/classic rock band which happens to include a damned fine lead vocalist in Danny Bowes. Ti...

In the other corner are the less numerous fans who proclaim the post-Strangers In The Night four album run with Paul Chapman helming the guitar slot as the absolute peak of UFO studio recorded glory. Me? I'm firmly in the Chapman camp. Just take a...

A big salute to 1976 - there's something about you!! Side 1 (0:00) "Lick and a Pr...
