        From the time he burst upon the scene as part of the Jeff Beck Group in 1970, Colin Trevor "Cozy" Powell earned a reputation as a first-call journeyman drummer and session hand, a hard-hitting power player vital to the development of English hard rock and heavy metal. Though he regularly anchored his own projects, Powell is best remembered as an asset to groups like Rainbow and Whitesnake; as one third of the short-lived Emerson, Lake & Powell; and as a guiding force in a critically maligned but undeniably heavy latter-day Black Sabbath.   Tilt  (Polydor,1981) https://www.sendspace.com/file/um6bvf

         Rob Grange, is an American rock bass guitarist, best known for his work with Ted Nugent  and his unique phase bass lines in the song "Stranglehold".       In June 1971, Grange became a member of the rock band Ted Nugent  and The Amboy Dukes. In 1974  Nugent dropped The Amboy Dukes name and the band became The Ted Nugent  Band. They were definitely a "band" and all of them wanted that and discussed it. None of them considered themselves as "back-up players." One of the conditions of St. Holmes joining them, was it was called a "band".        David Krebs of Leber & Krebs Management, who also managed Aerosmith, convinced Nugent to drop the "band" and just call it "Ted Nugent". This was a total surprise to the "band" and it was the beginning of the end. The nucleus of Rob Grange, Derek St. Holmes , and Cliff Davies for songwriting, as well as arranging, was forever broken.

        Some might consider it unfair that Robert Fripp’s best-known guitar work isn’t with the band he devoted decades of his life to, King Crimson. It’s on David Bowie’s “ Heroes” : The reverb-heavy leads on the title track alone are ingrained enough in the consciousness of popular music to guarantee that Fripp will never be unheard. Even if he’d just been a session legend and invented the Frippertronics tape-loop system of ambient sound creation, Fripp would have a place on this list. But, of course, he did so much more.       Plenty of post-rock and avant-garde musical artists owe a considerable sonic debt to King Crimson or Fripp’s various collaborative efforts—particularly the haunting sounds he provided to Brian Eno on songs like “Here Come The Warm Jets” and “St. Elmo’s Fire.” His style on the essential Crimson albums isn’t much different from what he’d provide in his best-known sidework: improvisation-heavy, sharply distorted, influenced by free jazz and classical as much as b

        Peter Bardens first came to the attention of record buyers when he joined  Camel  in 1972 to record their self-titled debut album. Bardens had already built a formidable reputation as a keyboard player well before this, though.       Bardens’s first band was The Cheynes, which happened to be Mick Fleetwood’s first band as well.  Shortly after their third single failed to sell the Cheynes broke up and Bardens joined Van Morrison’s band Them. After Them, he formed Peter B’s Looners, which eventually became Shotgun Express, a band that played soul music and featured  Rod Stewart , Peter Green, and Mick Fleetwood.       When Bardens joined Camel it was his keyboard wizardry that made them a force to be reckoned with. After their 1973 debut album, they followed it with  Mirage , whose “The White Rider suite” (based on J.R.R. Tolkien’s The Lord of the Rings) ushers in a new conceptual approach and brings them a certain cachet on the West Coast of America.       Following his exit fro
