[Heeplist] (no subject)

Don, it's good to stay well enough away from this topic also, as it all depends on type of music, age group of the fans when they first started getting into Heep's music. Trying to say which vocalist, bassist, drummer, keyboardist were the best is not even important. With Heep it has always been the sum of all parts together. One thing that is true is the best lead guitarist they have ever had has to be Mick Box ! ( kind of a no brainer there folks ! ).
