I have been a big fan of them ever since and own all of the albums, including the latest "Symmetry" album that came in the post today.

Finally! My favorite band of all time after Black Sabbath! Wonderful walkthrough of their catalog Pete - which is a massive undertaking. I'd say that at least half of their albums are top shelf. Never understood why these guys aren't bigger. Unique sounding, lots of great songs with catchy hooks, cool riffs and blazing dual guitar-keyboard solos. Glad you mention Ian Crichton. A very underrated guitarist with a unique riffing style. Instead of using "normal" power chord, his riffs are often single notes and very melodic.

Nice best-of's: Best Of Saga Now & Then The Collection 1978-Infinity & Defining Moments. For live: So Good So Far - Live At Rock Of Ages & Spin It Again! Live In Munich. Great band!

Saga - the support act at the first concert I went to. So the first band I saw live. They opened with "It's Time" with Ian rocketing on from the wings with his iconic white strat to do the "motorcycle chord" before the first solo - and EVERYONE played keyboards except Ian. Fantastic stuff. That was a couple of months before "Silent Knight" came out. Also saw them headline the Hammersmith Odeon on the Heads and Tails, and Behaviour tours. Lots of memories...

After chatting with him through Facebook, Michael Sadler actually called me one Sunday morning and we sat and chatted for about 20 minutes. there is a really cool experience. He told me why they were never really big in the U.S. and it made perfect sense. He used Rush as a comparison.he said that when Rush first started out they had some releases in the United States and they played dates in the United States and did really well. Therefore that's where they focused their efforts. In the United States. Saga, on the other hand, was booked by their agents at some venues in Germany and other parts of Europe. They did really, really, well there. As a result that's where they have focused the majority of their time and performances. It really sucks that the United States has been deprived of live Saga but at least we do have their music.

I'm german so i had the opportunity to see them 5 times since 2013. GREAT Live Band ! Beginners Guide and Pleasure & Pain are the most underrated Saga albums by far. The rawness on Pleasure is amazing. A more grounded hard rockin album. You should check out "Heaven Can Wait" " Welcome to the Zoo" and "Fantastically Wrong" again. The same is with Beginners Guide. On that album they still had their poppy sound from the previous 2 albums but play a lot more proggy stuff between that. the guitar riffing in "How Do I look" is spectacular and "Giant" is overall one of their finest tracks ! The weakest album is Sagacity. Not a lot of memorable stuff on here. Kinda cringy sounding tunes like "Press 9"... - really love that you give SAGA a video here :) These guys are fantastic from start til today

This band is loaded with talent in every area-and everyone contributed something to the overall sound. As a unit this band can still deliver a potent punch.

Rather popular in Sweden back in the 80s. Funny that Humble stance became a hit in Sweden when they released the live album In transit 1, Silent Knight, 2 Images at... 3, s/t, 4, Worlds apart. Human condition is strong and Full circle and House of card not bad at all.
