KCALB SIRAY · 01-07-2009, 01:20 PM

Don't have any links at the time since I'm at work, but I'll post them later.

Thin Lizzie --- Vagabonds of the Western World
Foghat --- Pretty much the whole line
Golden Earring --- Faded jeans

Thirty-Nine · 01-07-2009, 02:13 PM

Mountain -- best known for "Mississippi Queen," they had a lot of other really great songs that never got nearly the commercial success.

Ah seeing Jack Lambert brings to mind one of the best of the 70's right here from Pittsburgh: The Iron City Houserockers.
"Have A Good Time But Get Out Alive" is probably one of the greatest 'unknown' albums
of all time.

Another great almost-unknown: Big Star. Alex Chilton is probably better known as the
title of a Replacements song than for his own band!

Bonny Raitt - Angle from Montgomery. An old John Prine song.

I saw this on Youtube the other day... Steely Dan is one of those enigmatic "groups" which isn't really a group.

The making of "Peg" from the album "Aja".

Lots of hard work.

nothin' like music with humor , should be a slot for that like Alternative Rock , Progressive Rock . HUMOR ROCK . Such as STEELY DAN ( named after a womans toy

) , ZAPPA ( the king ) , The TUBES , The KINKS , THE FOOLS , WARREN ZEVON , Jimmy Buffet , Joe Walsh , etc.. Even RICK DERRINGER has a sense of humor " Easy Action " , www.youtube.com/watch?v=W2vveeUlGBM , from " IF I WEREN'T SO ROMANTIC , I'D SHOOT YOU " . Great title and song

I didn't realize the Dead Kennedys went back that far!
"Holiday in Cambodia" is just one of those all-time great songs.

Uriah Heep's Salisbury album was always one of my obscure favorites,particularly the guitar solo in the song Salisbury
And the linked song "A time to Live"has a lot of personal nostalga.

GeneW · 01-08-2009, 05:52 AM

SOS Band (One of the finest examples of "slap" bass playing I've heard).
