Best Forgotten Bands of the 70's.

[recgord27]

please don’t shoot me, but this album has a R&B vibe. It’s the vocalist….more than the music. His voice is just very early Chicago steppin‘ & shuffle.

Maybe this is a band that would be best forgotten, lol. Some sites describe this band as "progressive" which I don't get. To me they remind me of the early Bee Gees with a lot of mellotron thrown in. Some interesting music, but not worth listening to more than once

@recgord27
yes, I get that Bee Gees vibe, too. I definitely don’t see them as progressive…at least nothing even close to Alan Parsons, Yes, Wishbone Ash, Camel, etc.

Newport, Gwent ( Wales)... these only lasted until 1972, but played Isle Of Wight. Did an acid cut of Eleanor Rigby quite well.
Not sure about best.... but deffo forgotten.

Blonde On Blonde - Circles.

 

[Nai Noswad]

Second song (of 10 first songs) at our wedding - great Greek/British band.

Sailor - Glass Of Champagne.

 

[Nai Noswad]

Saw these twice, once at those "Wine, Dine and Grind" nightly things... then at the "Soup in a Basket" Cabaret affair with my Mom. (Toni Basil re-worked this original.)

Racey - Kitty.

 

[Nai Noswad]

Think these hailed from Australia, maybe an Antipodean member can confirm?
Step back in serious time!

The Settlers - Lightning Tree.

 

[Nai Noswad]

Don't see much of this band around these here parts, amazing Canadian outfit with some fine albums.
Klaatu -

Sub - Rosa Subway.

 

[Nai Noswad]

Beatlesque... and proggy- that's the best way to describe Hope the album by Klaatu.

Klaatu - we're Off You Know.

 

[Nai Noswad]

Bit of a Roxy spin-off!
Phil Manzanera and Brian Eno, team up with Monkman & McCormick.... remind me of UK in some respects.
Awesome prog cover of this Beatles tune.

801 Live - Tomorrow Never Knows.
