They were very popular in Finland and no wonder as many of Hensley's songs sound like Finnish schlagers, only with more distortion on guitar. Rain Uriah Heep - Rain letra y traducción de la canción. They have a decent song here and there and a long list of awesome bassplayers but generally the cabaret -like acts of David Byron (good singer but I can't stand his voice) and almost proto-powermetal style writing of Ken Hensley got on my nerves. I used to listen to Heep quite a lot but got eventually rid of the albums.
