Best Forgotten Bands of the 70's.

Henry Paul! Darn, I forgot about him and I lived two houses away from the guy in Sulfur Springs, a section of Tampa just after he left the Outlaws. And, did anyone mention the Outlaws, or how about Molly Hatchet. I saw them on the beach in Daytona with that band that did the Cover Of A Rolling Stone song, I forget there names.

Head East

I just recently discovered 2 bands of the 70s that I had never heard of---

Atomic Rooster - ex-members of Arthur Brown and
Camel (both are prog rock bands)

Does anyone remember Ginger Baker's side project --BAKER GURVITZ ARMY?


my mistake if I just overlooked it

I'm not familiar with Mother's Finest, Head East, Camel and Baker Gurvitz Army. The Crazy World of Arthur Brown, Atomic Rooster and Spooky Tooth are all popular bands on this board though. Go to these threads:

Detective was a tier 2 "supergroup" which included vocalist Michael Des Barres from the glam rock band Silverhead; keyboardist Tony Kaye from Yes, Flash, and Badger; Michael Monarch on guitar from Steppenwolf; bassist Bobby Pickett from Sugarloaf; and on drums Jon Hyde. Jimmy Page signed them to the Swan Song label and released the s/t debut in 1977 accompanied by the single Recognition. A "poor man's" Led Zeppelin/Bad Co.




The following year It Takes One to Know One was released but was not as solid as thier first, though it contained some hard rock punches. A forgettable live album was issued the same year and they disbanded.

I love "Driver's Seat"
I've never heard another song by Sniff 'n Tears, but that song is great

Dr. Hook and the Medicine show did "Cover of The Rolling Stone"
and I don't believe Outlaws or Molly Hatchet are very forgotten at all.. they still get a good amount of attention

Hustler was a hard rock/boogie band from the UK. High Street was released in 1974 followed by the improved Play Loud(1975).
