- CLASSIC ALBUM OF THE WEEK
- Attila 1970 (USA)
- Yes, the little guy
on the right with the moustache is none-other than BILLY JOEL! It wasn't
that many years before he became "The Piano Man" that Billy was the lead
singer and organist of the heavy guitarless duo ATTILA (with Jon Small
on drums.) Mr. Joel has since refered to this record as "psychedelic
bullshit" and says it was inspired by Led Zeppelin, although Keith
Emerson's electric organ histrionics with The Nice seems a more obvious
influence. Personally, I wish Billy had stuck with playing electrified
heavy metal keyboards, he was really good at it! Sadly Attila only
recorded this one LP.
