I really wish Budgie had been more popular in America.  Come on, we would have loved these guys back then!  We could have put away our Zeppelin, Purple, Sabbath and KISS albums for a day and listened to these guys.  Never Turn Your Back on a Friend is all about loud guitar riffs, loud guitar solos, nice vocals, clean production, and a noticeable in-your-face attitude.  Well.. and some mellow guitar soloing near the end perhaps with a couple short/quiet tunes along the way.  The songwriting is pretty good on Never Turn Your Back on a Friend, supposedly the bands most popular album.  Not necessarily their best album though.  Just another solid album by an underrated heavy rock band.
