    Tommy Bolin

    Bolin was a monster talent! Definitely deserves to be mentioned in the same breath as all the other guitar gods of the era. Check out Billy Cobham's "Spectrum" and Alfonse Mouzon's "Mind Transplant" for a taste of his fusion work.

    UFO (official thread)

    Re: UFO - Most Underrated Band of the 1970s? The Ufo book is/was available through Amazon. I received it as an Xmas gift and am pretty sure that's where it was purchased. Popoff's also written similarly styled books on Blue Oyster Cult (great read also!!) and Rainbow (have it, but haven't read...

    UFO (official thread)

    Re: UFO - Most Underrated Band of the 1970s? I'm with you BIG-TIME on the love for Ufo!! Been listening to them a ton lately on account of having picked up Martin Popoff's recent book about them titled "Ufo-Shoot Out The Lights". It's not a typical tales-of-excess rock biography, but an...

    Best Forgotten Bands of the 70's.

    Great list, Glad to see Point Blank listed.>> Yeah, killer band, and definitely forgotten. The first two albums are essential for anyone who digs early ZZ Top. They were also managed by Bill Ham.

    Best Forgotten Bands of the 70's.

    Most of the bands you guys have listed haven't really been forgotten, but that's just my opinion. I'm a diehard. I'll list some bands that made some great records during the 70's but were never really known enough in the first place to be forgotten all these years later. See how many you...

    Favorite Aerosmith Album From The 70's?

    I'd have to pick Rocks also, but Get Your Wings would be right up there. It's a shame what these guys have sank to in the last 20 odd years. Pathetic.

    Freddie King (Official Thread)

    You can really hear Freddie's influence on Clapton's playing. His early instrumantals are really cool, and have been covered by lots of people besides Clapton such as SRV and Peter Green. If you've never heard them, check out one of the three albums he recorded for Leon Russell's Shelter...
