Unpopular Gems

[zeke]

We all know everything about certain popular bands from the 60s/70s. I sometimes like to dig in rare items to find missed gems. Anyone like to explore rather unknown bands like me? I would like to suggest a few albums which I think you people might enjoy:

1968 - ill wind - flashes
1969 - white noise - an electric storm
1970 - the nice - five bridges suite
1971 - colonel bagshot - oh what a lovely war
1974 - kayak - kayak II

Hi, again, Zeke.

Ill Wind, that I think you introduced me to, is just about one of my favourite LP's.

Just imagine what they could have been...

The list of obscure bands I know and love could go on and on, but heres a list of the best, and their best(or only) album.Some of them are very heavy though.

Andromeda - Andromeda(1969)
Camel - Mirage(1973) - Not that obscure, but I only have this one album and no one ever mentions them.
Atomic Rooster - Death Walks Behind You(1970) - all of their other stuff is good and differant too.
Warhorse - Warhorse(1970) - formed by first Deep Purple bassist Nick Simper.
May Blitz - May Blitz(1970)
Bang - Bang(1970)
Clear Blue Sky - Clear Blue Sky(1971)
Captain Beyond - Captain Beyond(1972) - Members of Deep Purple and Iron Butterfly.
Wild Turkey - Battle Hymn(1971) - formed by Jethro Tull bassist Glenn Cornick.
Dust - Hard Attack(1972)
Hard Stuff - Bulletproof(1972)
The Attack - Never really had an album, U.K Acid-Mod band.They have CDs out of their demos.
Crazy World of Arthur Brown - S/T(1968) - Did the song 'Fire'.Does "I Am The God of Hellfire!" ring any bells?
Bachdenkel - Lemmings(1973)
The Five Day Week Straw People(1968)
Aardvark - Aardvark(1970)

I have pretty much all Camel albums, one of the best bands ever and they are still making music. Mirage is indeed one of the most interesting pieces in their discography. I like progressive rock more than all other 60s/70s music. King Crimson, Eloy, Camel, Yes, Pink Floyd, Jethro Tull etc ..

You guys should take over a radio station, that would be refreshing! You have my blessing to slit the throats of any DJs here on Long Island, beers on me afterwards...
