And The Piper Will Lead Us To Reason...

You May Not Have Heard Of (Or Heard...) The Band PIPER

But You Have Heard AND Heard Of 

the Band's Lead Singer and Guitarist - Billy Squier!

I Think Everyone Involved Knew From The Beginnin' 

That Billy Was "The Man" - The Star of The Show!


They All Played Their Part Great, Though...

And, Piper Made Two Great Rock & Roll Records!

'Cause The Other Musicians Were Really Good as well!


One Song From This Album Was Re-Recorded

for Billy's 1st Solo Album (The Tale Of The Tape) - 

Who's Your Boyfriend?...


NOTE: I Uploaded These Two Albums Separately (In Case You Already Have One Of Them and Need The Other) OR (IF You Want to Put BOTH Together! - There's a 2 For 1 CD Set of Artwork Below!)


Notice The Back Cover: ONLY 1 Person Is Pictured!?!

Piper - 1976 - Piper


And, Here's the Second Album by Piper...Can't Wait!

It's Another Great Straight On Rock & Roll Record!


Notice the Back Cover of the Album:

That's Billy Squier Movin' on to Bigger and Better Things!

Piper - 1977 - Can't Wait


Both Piper Albums were Re-Issued on a 2 For 1 CD a Few Years Back, But Has Since Gone Out of Print...

1976 Piper - 1977 Can't Wait (2 on 1 CD)

  1. Thanks, Rocket. I saw Ringo & Has All-Star Band about 10 years ago and Billy was the guitarist. Really under appreciated.

    1. Yep. I Agree...
      Saw Squier Back in '83 and He could Rip It Up!

  2. Bought the first album on the strength of a pretty solid review in CREEM (ah, those were the days...) - has held up pretty darn well over the years.

  4. I saw Piper open for KISS in late 1977. I remember them being a quality show. Could you please repost these download links? I missed them and want to check out their studio albums. Thanks so much, G.

  5. Thanks for reposting, I got them. Will check it out this weekend. And workupload is a good download system. Much better than most, like filefactory!! That one really sucks. Thanks again, G.
