It really made me think what an amazing voice Burke Shelley has, being Welsh his phrasing and tone is very similar to Shirley Bassey on the melodic stuff. +1. Budgie never really registered with me back in the day. Heard them on an OGWT rerun a few years ago. He was a really strong singing bassist. Gather sadly that he has really severe health problems nowadays. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My older brother was into them and altho i liked some of their songs in 70's i wasn't a huge fan but as i got into Rush i started to listen more to them and bought more of their albums. Some i bought again on CD. I really like his melodic songs. An amazing voice instantly recognisable IMO. Shame they were never more famous or successful.

I’d never heard of Budgie before you posted this link, kinda reminds me a bit of iron maiden. Its not my taste at the moment, maybe a few years back when I was more into that style. Though saying that I do still appreciate it so I’ll check some of their other tracks out 👌 ..also the album art is cool 😄 Edited July 8, 2020 by Swaffle88 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its claimed they were the start of heavy metal and many bands including Iron Maiden state Budgie as one of their main influences. Apologies if you already know about them.
