Forgotten 70's Rock Bands

[Nick901]

Does anyone remember McKenna Mendelson Mainline?

 

[Richland123]

The Adrissi Brothers
Tin Tin

 

[KillianRussell]

Epic bass by Paul Goodard in The Atlanta Rhythm Section

 

[Unrepresented]

Ellen Foley

I actually just received my Amazon order for her Night Out album today. I'm an Ian Hunter fan, and I like Jim Steinman's work with Meatloaf, and I am a Night Court fan, so picking it up seemed to make sense on pretty much every level.

Has ANGEL been mentioned yet? How 'bout STARZ???

Pierce Arrow - This band was destined to be really big but they fizzled without the attention they should have gotten. (Featuring top session players Robin Batteau, Jeff Kent, and David Buskin, along with former Cactus guitarist Werner Fritzching, former Robert Gordon drummer Bobby Chouinard, and former Doors bassist Doug Lubahn)
Flash Cadillac and the Continental Kids
Commander Cody & His Lost Planet Airmen
Nite City (The Doors keyboardist Ray Manzarek’s super-group featuring vocalist Noah James and former Blondie bassist Nigel Harrison)

The Butts Band with Jess Roden, Robby Krieger and John Densmore was the first album I ever bought with bassist Phil Chen.

I never really considered Manfred Mann as "forgotten". One or two hit wonder maybe but not forgotten. Hard to go a day listening to a classic rock station and not hear "Blinded By The Light."

Manfred Mann and Manfred Mann's Earth Band had a long string of hit songs in Europe and North America in the 60s and 70s.

One word: Poobah

[JohnMCA72]

I'm surprised that I haven't seen:

Nazareth
Point Blank

Then again, maybe it's because they've been forgotten (the whole topic of the thread, of course)!

Nice to see a fellow Poobah fan. I mentioned them early in the thread. I still have Let Me In on cd. Someone stole my vinyl copy years ago.

I'd add Father of Night, Father of Day to this list. It got lots of airply here in the midwest at the time it came out.

I listed both of those bands a few pages back. Both great bands!

 

[Jim Kernan]

haven't seen Claire Hamill mentioned. Saw her open a concert at Pocono Raceway in the early 70's. I don't believe she was even listed to play.

 

[Richland123]

Here is another early 70s Toronto band. They released several singles and a couple albums.

Steel River
