| I'm kinda burned out on "Alright Now", mainly 'cuz I've been covering
that tune in almost EVERY band I've been in since it originally came
out. And to be honest, I don't think I've every heard anything else by
them ... what's their other stuff compare to ?

| Re Scary, its a bit difficult to say what they compare too! Mainly
because it is so long ago since I heard any of their other stuff.
Even humming a tune or two in my head doesn't help, because it si
difficult to copy the rythm and feel of it. I suppose that they would
compare favaourably with Poison material. Don't forget that this was
sixties/seventies so it was pretty heavy for the time. But I am no
expert on this band, so if someone else out there knows more (yes I
know I am one of the oldest around here (^8*) then let us know!
Definitely an interesting bit of rock history this band!

| Hey Scary,
Don't forget to tell everyone that this is the band that Bad Company
came from!
I agree "Wishing Well" is a GREAT tune and has been covered by
Blackfoot and Gary Moore among others.

| I use to have the Best of Free album. There were more just average
sort of songs than actual good ones on the album. I didn't think it was
nothing to get worked up about.

| Hi Ken, how about a list of the songs you liked then. I wonder why
Keraang (how do you spell it?) gave it 5 Ks then.
Ga-ZAZ who reads Metal Hammer anyway.

| 494.6 | I'll check it out tonight. | RAVEN1::KROBINSON | I'm just a media trained parasite. | Thu Mar 07 1991 11:52 | 5 |
| GaZaZ, I'll have to go home and check it out again. It has been a
long time since I listened to it because my sister spilled a coke on
one side of the album. Coke and vinyl don't get along together well.

| Free were one of the seminal bands to emerge out of the British blues
boom at the end of the sixties. Paul Rogers (later of Bad Company, The
Firm - with Jimmy Page and now The Law) is probably the finest rock
vocalist ever and with the tragic genius of Paul Kossoff on guitar
combined to create some superb music.
