See how many you guys recognize: Sir Lord Baltimore Budgie Dust Captain Beyond Night Sun Cactus Bloodrock Toad Lucifer's Friend Point Blank Three Man Army Trapeze Randy Holden West, Bruce And Laing Hard Stuff Stray Jeronimo Hawkwind Flower Travellin' Band Some of those are pretty obscure, no doubt, but all of them released albums that are definitely worth checking out for anyone interested in 70's rock.

Yes these are some good ones. I have added to my list BBR&R's Ultimate Classic Rock Bands Index

I apologise if anyone has already named them,but Quintessence where a truely great Rock band,ahead of their time maybe?. The recent live cds demonstrate how good they were in concert. Very sadly underated and not remembered enough. Bryter.

My hat goes off to whomever mentioned

Mahogany Rush

Now I'll consider "Forgotten" as Never heard on your local Classic Rock station... The usual Beatles, Bob Seger, Van Halen, The Doors and The Rolling Stones and repeat playlists. Our local - WKLH, advertises that they don't repeat any song in a day ... but... they repeat the same songs everyday
Why they choose to do this, being they have the largest selection of any other format to choose from, is beyond me.

If it wasn't for the movie released this year I would've added The Runaways to the list. Some that I was glad to see listed - Black Oak Arkansas, Robin Trower, Television, New York Dolls, Angel ect...

I would have to add:

The Stooges
Weather Report
Jeff Beck
Charlie
Gentle Giant
Eloy

Hmm... What am I doing wrong when trying to embed a youtube video?

Here's the link to our how to Embed Youtube Videos Terra812.

Sometimes it's Youtube itself that prevents embedding otherwise Magic's code should work for you.

I don't know if this band is forgotten in your neck of the woods but I never hear any Utopia around here anymore.

Thanks for the help Lord Grendel.

^^^Most of those bands plus a lot more have been covered in the Obscure Heavy Psych/Heavy Rock/Proto-Metal thread. A thread well worth checking out if you're into those types of bands you mentioned.

Here you go Truckin. Caravan, Set Me Free and You Make Me Cray from Adventures In Utopia. Good call. I haven't played that in years, it's on now.
