I think many of these have cult status, Youtube has certainly unearthed some great lost treasures. This band I thought had real promise and were very tight on stage, they did tour the States in the late 1970s and then seemed to disappear.

No Dice - Why Sugar.

Excellent band - Glad that I'm not the only one who remembers them. Their album "2-Faced" was excellent imo.
Another band I discovered at the same time was The Specials and later on Fun Boy 3, though they may be early 80's

Great minds recgord, think they supported Foghat and other bands on large tours. I remembered the album No Dice by Badfinger and thought"it can't be bad".... excellent outfit they were.
Yeah I saw Terry in all three of his bands, The Colour Field were a bit watery. But here they were on fire-live and direct

Fun Boy Three / Bananarama.
( Lynvil Goldings licks and June Miles Kingston pedal and snare work are... nice)

I suppose it's all subjective, as some might opine that certain 70s bands are 'best' forgotten!
However this act seemed to cover most pockets, forming in the mid sixties as a garage 'nuggets' type band, the Supersnazz LP from the late 60s is an unfound treasure - then these guys rode on the power pop wave in the early to mid- seventies.... to finally wash up on the punk and new wave scene... Chris Wilson and the late Roy Loney were the main inspirators in a band well worth another or indeed an overdue listen...
The Flamin Groovies.

Slow Death.
.... and then this in late 1976, earning them mature punk status in the newly evolving music world:

Shake Some Action.
