- “Shadows of Grief” Every time I think about this song, I’m always reminded of the time King Diamond and myself bonded over the fact that we both picked “Shadows of Grief” as our favorite Uriah Heep song.
- “Gypsy” It’s almost an insult to say this, but yes, Heep are one of the rare acts where it’s sensible and arguable to say they never did anything better than the very first song they gave us.
- “Tears in My Eyes” I’ve always been of the opinion that Look at Yourself is Uriah Heep’s most powerfully record album, and sounds better than any Deep Purple album from the ‘70s, Machine Head included.
- “Bird of Prey” Given that “Bird of Prey” was on the U.S. and Canadian version of Heep’s first album, issued in July of 1970 (in the U.K. it was on the second album, Salisbury), I’d say it’s the heaviest metal song as of that date ever.

What better way to open our top 10 Uriah Heep songs list than with a song from their debut album? The excellent track “Gypsy” was released in 1970 on the…Very ‘Eavy …Very ‘Umble album. The band’s debut album featured musicians David Byron on lead vocals, Ken Hensley on piano, organ, mellotron, guitar, and vocals, Colin Wood also on keyboards, Mick ...
“Sweet Lorraine” is one of Uriah Heep’s most loved songs by their fans. The song was released on The Magician’s Birthday album in 1972. The song broke the Billboard Top 100 in 1972, which was no easy feat for most Progressive Rockbands in the United States. Listen to the way this one starts. It hits you hard and heavy instantly and never lets go of...
“Lady In Black” appears on Uriah Heep’s album Salisbury. This moody-like song gets better and builds in intensity as the song moves along. The record was released in 1971. The band toured as the opening act for Three Dog Night and Steppenwolfwhen the album came out. Now that’s a concert!
Continuing our list of top 10 Uriah Heep songs, we turn to the great Demons and Wizards album. With a cover that bleeds Progressive Rock, Uriah Heep released one of the strongest albums of their career in 1972. The album cover was designed by Roger Dean, who was responsible for so many of the album covers by the band Yes. Easy Livin’ was a big hit ...
“Bird of Prey” is the opening track from the band’s 1971 album Salisbury. The song featured Mick Box on lead guitar, David Byron on lead vocals, Ken Hensley on organ, Paul Newton on bass, and Keith Baker on drums. The opening guitar lick at the song’s start is to die for. This song sounds like a cross between Queen and Black Sabbath. However, as th...
The great Uriah Heep song “Look At Yourself” was the title track to the band’s third album release entitled Look Yourself. The record was released in the fall of 1971. The song “Look At Yourself” was released as a single and remains one of the band’s most popular songs.
Our favorite Uriah Heep song from the Demons and Wizards album was the great track “Rainbow Demon.” The song served as the opening cut on side two of the album. The version presented here was a special live version the band released on the Spellbinder Livealbum in 1996.
Easily one of the most excellent classic rock vocal performances of all time. John Lawton’s first album with Uriah Heep as the band’s new lead vocalist. The album Fireflywas released in 1977.
Two Progressive Rock masterpieces. We could not leave either one of these songs off this list, so we tied it up. Why not? The song Stealin’ was released on the album entitled Sweet Freedom. The album was released in 1973. The song “July Morning” was released on the Look at Yourself album. That album was released in 1971. We always loved the cover o...
Uriah Heep has released a tremendous amount of material over a period of close to 50 years, so we apologize if this list is heavy on early 1970’s material. We can’t help it. The material the band released early in their career is some of the best classic rock released during that era. The track “Salisbury” is all the proof you need. Updated January...

- Easy Listening. Very few songs in rock, metal, or anything else can stand up to the power and aggression of “Easy Listening.” At the time of its release, it was the fastest and most furious thing on the radio.
- Look at Yourself. The title track from Uriah Heap’s third album represented their first stab at commercial success. They didn’t get much of it at the time, but in retrospect, they should have.
- July Morning. As Dallas Observer notes, “July Morning” displays the full variety of Uriah Heep’s emotional palate. Sometimes tender and uplifting, sometimes strutting and bombastic, it’s a ten-minute epic that takes you from heaven to hell and back again by way of a five-minute organ dirge that’ll leave you in no doubt to Hensley’s genius.
- Bird of Prey. According to ultimateclassicrock.com, “Bird of Prey” ranks as one of the most dramatic songs in Uriah Heep’s entire canon, and early heavy metal as a whole.
