Ten Years After fans

Standin' on a corner
Another random band that I'm enjoying at the moment. They have that blues rock sound that's getting lots of time on my playlists recently. Alvin Lee is an underappreciated guitarist. And Ten Years After knows how to write some good quality powerful rock, see 50000 Miles Beneath my Brain for an example. I'd Love to Change the World is of course an anthem of the 60's. Any other fans out there?

Recorded Live is one of my favorites because of the drum solo entitled, The Hobbit. :yes:

I'm also fancying the newer Road Works CD as well. :thmbsp:

Ten Years After. One of my faves Recorded Live is a must have. 2LPs. Alvin Lee & CO- Boogie ON. Another bummer. All my good stuff is in storage and I sure would like to give a listen right now.:thmbsp:
 
I've got quite a few of their LP's

Ssssh, Recorded Live, Ten Years After, Greatest Hits, um.. I believe A Space In Time...

Yep.. you can't help but like them... :thmbsp:
 
Man, I think I ran across a few of their LPs in the GW a few months ago. I can't remember if I picked them up or not, but I'm sure gonna check through the unplayed LP box [ LPs needing cleaning ] tonight. :yes:
 
Anyone who thinks Jimmy Page is the last word in speed* hasn't heard Alvin Lee playing Woodchopper's Ball.

*BTW I'm not saying he isn't
 
Been into TYA since 69', the other day I found a mint condition TYA Undead. It's a killer live album recorded at the Railway Inn Hotel in England. Ssssh album is great. Another one I dig is Cricklewood Green and Rock n' Roll music to the World!!! :thmbsp:
 
Been a fan since the early 70's...One of These Days....I'd Love to Change the World...some great stuff.

Au contraire, Alvin is widely acknowledged and very much appreciated by aficionados of geetar, (os-called) British Blues, R&R, etc. My favorite TYA album is Cricklewood Green (1970), which includes the aforementioned "50,000 Miles Beneath My Brain". As also previously mentioned, "Woodchopper's Ball" is noteworthy, if not astounding, track. I's also like to recommend a somewhat more obscure outing of Alvin's: Mylon LeFevre & Alvin Lee - On The Road To Freedom (1973). It's sort of an all-star cast production, with the instrumental backing of such luminaries as George Harrison (credited Hari Georgeson), Ron Wood, Steve Winwood, and Mick Fleetwood, among others.
 
Love Ten Years After! I have Ssssh,Ten Years After,Recorded live and Alvin Lee. Man he can really play and most of his albums are great. I agree with the fact that he still sounds good.
 
Correction. The Name of the song was "Good Morning Little School Girl". "I wanna ball you all night long", was the line that freaked people out. It was a pretty catchy song.
 
Just listened to "Good Morning Little School Girl." Good tune. I really liked "Religion" too, I haven't found any duds by TYA yet. As far as who has the last word in speed, that title goes to Stevie Ray Vaughan. :yes: I wonder why this band isn't better known. I've never heard them on a classic rock FM station.
 
I'm seeing the same people here as in the Trower & Wishbone Ash Threads.
Great minds think alike!

:beerchug:

Would love to see a TYA reunion!
 
That is some pretty serious shredding in Woodchoppers' Ball. The bassist definitely holds his own though, he's a good player. Always liked his style, sounds a bit like Jack Bruce. Alvin Lee plays a cool guitar too, I'll guess that it's a Gibson 335, maybe. I'll be needing to add some TYA to the collection in CD and vinyl really soon. :music:
