UFO is a British rock band that was formed in London in 1968. The band's early music was heavily influenced by blues rock and psychedelic rock, but over the years they evolved their sound to incorporate elements of hard rock and heavy metal.

The classic lineup of UFO consisted of vocalist Phil Mogg, guitarist Michael Schenker, bassist Pete Way, drummer Andy Parker, and keyboardist/rhythm guitarist Paul Raymond. This lineup was responsible for many of the band's most successful albums, including "Phenomenon" (1974), "Force It" (1975), "No Heavy Petting" (1976), "Lights Out" (1977), and "Obsession" (1978).

One of UFO's most well-known songs is "Doctor Doctor," which was released in 1974 and became a fan favorite. Other popular songs by the band include "Rock Bottom," "Love to Love," and "Too Hot to Handle."

UFO has gone through many lineup changes over the years, with Phil Mogg being the only constant member. Despite this, the band has continued to release albums and tour, and they remain a beloved and influential band in the world of hard rock and heavy metal.
