Best Forgotten Bands of the 70's.

[R. Evans]

I'm not sure if they have been mentioned yet, but many people don't know about Zebra.
I believe they don't have many songs but good anyways. I guess, not really forgotten just never made it big, sadly.



​

They weren't mentioned in this thread because their first album didn't come out until 1983 and this thread is about forgotten bands of the 70s. Zebra did form in 1975 though but still nobody would've heard any recording from them until the 80s.

Anyone remember Nutz?

I saw them supporting somebody at the Liverpool Empire in about 1980 I guess, can't even remember who was headlining, might have been Ted Nugent or Thin Lizzy or Judas Priest, but I always thought they would go on to be huge, but they never did. Still have a couple of great albums they made ...

I didn't really want to go through all the pages to see if these guys were in here.

The Canadian band Max Webster.

Anyone familiar with them?

Tight live band.

A couple of classic songs from the Michael Stanley Band. Cleveland, Ohio rockers who were absolutely great live. Both of these were concert staples and hugely popular to their fans.

^^And now a couple of classics from MSB's rivals from Pittsburgh, the Iron City Houserockers. (yes the Pittsburgh/Cleveland rivalry even spills over into music) The Houserockers were also fantastic live and massively popular around Pittsburgh. Living almost smack dab in-between the 2 cities, I got the best of both musical worlds, although they weren't that far apart musically. Both played up the blue collar angle and it worked for both of them.

 

[Cincinnatus]

JJ Cale , Budgie , BBA( beck , bogert , appice)

West, Bruce, & Laing... No, I have yet to forget. What was I trying to remember? The Sweet, Dr. Hook & The Medicine Show, Alice Cooper (the band). And "Ruby Jones @ The Byrnegate".
