Why wouldn’t Bauhaus, Magazine, or Tortoise have been mentioned? I brought up Bauhaus in a thread just a few days ago, and Barry Adamson/Magazine recently in another. I checked, and Tortoise has been referred to.
Here are some obscure late 60s/early 70s bands that are not likely to have been mentioned.
The New Yorkers. Band from Portland, Oregon that later became The Hudson Brothers. The Bass player on their regional hit "Mr. Kirby" was 13 or 14 years old in 1967 and played a Hofner. Amazing how they were able to channel the eastern-style Beatles vibe at such a young age. Mark Hudson has been working with Ringo for many years.
Colours. Notable for their 1968 Beatle-influenced hit "Love Heals".
The Moon. Notable for David Marks who was a founding member of The Beach Boys. Their debut album has some strong songs in the psych/pop style.
Mashmakhan. Canadian jazz/rock/prog band who had a 1970 hit with "As the Years Go By" and appear in the Festival Express film.
Feather. No info to be found on Wikipedia but they had a 1970 hit that sounded kind of like Crosby, Stills, and Nash.
Redeye. They had a couple of minor hits in 1971 that sounded a lot like Crosby, Stills, and Nash.
Springwell. Had a minor hit with Paul McCartney's "It's For You" similar to Three Dog Night's version.

I don't know why they wouldn't have been mentioned - glad they were but I didn't see any of 'em ...
Reckon I'm 4/7, or .571.
Mebbe I shoulda cited Love and Rockets or Tones on Tail, Buzzcocks and 11th Dream Day? (I've mentioned the latter, meself.)
I got to spend a week working with Mark. He’s a fantastic guy. He had some success working with Aerosmith too. He has some fantastic Ozzy stories.
Wow, what a blast from the past. I recall watching the Hudson Brothers' variety show as a middle schooler who was jealous that one of them was married to Goldie Hawn. (Yep, he's Kate Hudson's father.) Never thought about those guys again till now, and certainly didn't imagine Mark would have Ozzy stories!
He was a few years before my time, so I wasn’t sure what I was getting into. Here’s the track he helped create. It was a lesson in songwriting. This isn’t quite my style but I had a blast working on it.
TWIST OF FATE SYMPHONY (Rock N Roll Fantasy Camp Season 1)
Always loved “Fazon,” the first track on that Sopwith Camel album. Nice little groove.
Great album! My oldest brother had it; I first heard it when I was seven or eight. I think at that point the album was still fairly new.
Ken (Spider ) Sinnaeve from the Canadian Rock band Streatheart.
Everybody always talks about Geddy and he is great bass vocals multi instrumentalist .
But Spider is just flat out great rock bass player and you never see anything on here or bass player magazine .
Check him out you Won't be disappointed .
