RockmusicRaider Editorial - UFO - Collection Schenker Years If there is one underrated band in the long history of rock and metal, then it is the British band UFO. Founded in 1968 by Phil Mogg, UFO proved to be one of the forerunners of the Hard Rock and Metal multiverse that we enjoy today. They have today some 22 studio albums under their belt, with an added score of live records and other versions to boot. UFO‘s latest album reached our shores in 2017, no less.

UFO – Force It (1975) – Review

RockmusicRaider Review UFO Force It - Album Cover Aha! It is possible after all! Phil Mogg kicking it up a notch in UFO‘s 4th studio album Force It.

So, it looks like the Force It album cover seemingly with two teenagers having a go at themselves in the most complicated bathroom of the world is an omen too. With leering bathroom appliances no … [...] Click to raid more!
