Best Forgotten Bands of the 70's.

[Lunatic Fringe]

I don't know if never seeing the likes of them is bad or good.

You've probably heard at least one of their songs. "Battlescar" from the 1980
Universal Juveniles LP saw Rush joining up with the gang from Max Webster.
To Date It Is The Only Project That All Three Rush Members Have Worked Together outside of Rush.
See if you remember this one:

How about Black Oak Arkansas?

I do have to take issue with some of these though. Stealers Wheel, Ozark Moutain, I can certainly agree with, BUt Blue Oyster Cult, Journey, ELO, Cheap Trick, Foreigner...I don't think so. These bands are the face of the 70's. On the classic rock stations here in the Northeast they are very alive and well, not forgotten (maybe even a bit overplayed), and are always on VH1 classic if anyone gets that station.

Yup, ELO is very alive and well here (thank goodness). Hear BOC, Journey, Cheap Trick, all of those you mentioned every day.

Manfred Mann's Earth Band (excep for the overplaying of blinded by the light)

but... I actually like that song.

 

[Reverend Rock]

Would Big Star be considered a forgotten band, or one that never was remembered until years later???

 

[Music Wench]

I vote the latter on Big Starr. At least that's how it was for me.
