"Who Are Thoes Guys?" is perfect, though if it had quotation marks or a pointless bit of emphasis (a la Commander Cody) it'd pretty much have the genre locked up.

Doesn't belong on this thread because (I think) this is some sort of post punk thing, but for years I thought had imagined this album title but there it is, large as life.

Atomic Rooster, I haven't heard that but the stuff I have is fucking awesome. like super doomy proto metal organ rock

i was thinking about a listening club for these albums (at least ones that are on spotify)
― There Goes Ryan's Scion (upper mississippi sh@kedown), Monday, 3 November 2014 16:36 (nine years ago) link
there is no way the music on that atomic rooster album could possibly live up to the gatefold image.......
― m0stlyClean, Monday, 3 November 2014 18:58 (nine years ago) link
Atomic Rooster's drummer was Ric Parnell, aka Spinal Tap's Mick Shrimpton. Based on that cover, he presumably also worked as a consultant on the film.

hahaha:
"The first question they asked was, 'What do you think about a movie that's going to tear your career apart?' I said, 'You should have made this movie about 10 years ago.' They then asked me what other bands I'd been in, and I said, 'Well, I was in a band called Atomic Rooster.' They looked at each other and said, 'Yep, that's it, you're our man.' "

the go-to Atomic Rooster is Death Walks Behind You
they are some of the ppl from Crazy World of Arthur Brown, Vincent Crane the leader was a real character to say the least

The late Vincent Crane, Kevin Rowland was smart (or crazy) enough to hire him to play with Dexy's Midnight Runners.

Atomic Rooster are actually pretty good - they went through a number of stylistic shifts over the years as members came and went. There was a good 2CD set called Heavy Soul that gathered pretty much all anybody would ever need.
― Humorist (horse) (誤訳侮辱), Monday, 3 November 2014 20:09 (nine years ago) link
Death Walks Behind You is a seriously good album in my humble opinion. By far the best line-up of Atomic Rooster as well, for me. There was an Atomic Rooster spin-off band called Hard Stuff too, but I can hardly recommend 'em.
― Welcome To (Turrican), Monday, 3 November 2014 20:23 (nine years ago) link
iirc, and it's quite possible that I don't, Hard Stuff were on that proto-metal list skot did for Decibel years ago

Think of a boring band from the 70s.Look up their discography.There will be at least one of these.
not sure if/how they're represented above cos the covers aren't searchable text - but: Al Kooper and George Clinton to thread!

Tucky Buzzard's immortal 'Warm Slash' has already appeared upthread, but this one is pretty good as well: 'Alright on the Night' (not 'knight' for some reason)
