Rick N. Backer Posted May 20, 2015 Share Posted May 20, 2015 Just because I'm going through a binge right now, I'll say early to mid-80s Krokus. They were a mix of Bon Scott era AC/DC and Judas Priest. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Digital Dad Posted May 20, 2015 Share Posted May 20, 2015 Some candidates: Gentle Giant - Since the advent of the internet they've got some due, but talk about a band who never got the respect they deserved when they were together. The Kinks - Often overlooked coming from an era with The Beatles, Stones, The Who, etc., I got into them much much later than those bands, but holy crap I was blown away the first time I heard Arthur (or The Decline and Fall of The British Empire). U.K. - Both the Bruford/Holdsworth and Bozzio versions of the band. I actually prefer Danger Money to the debut. GG wanted to take themselves out of the mainstream from the start. They never really figured out how to sell themselves when it was time to stay afloat they had no idea how to dive into the midstream. Take a band like Genesis. One may discount their later works for being too poppy without understanding thats where they started out. They made pop tunes and then became 'progressive'. They (GG) too started out more contemporary but made very adventurous, popularly inaccessible music. The Kinks may be my favorite band of that era. I put the period between Face to Face to Muswell Hilbillies against the Beatles output of the same period. Totally agree about UK As well. The original group never really had time to gel properly. And of course Bruford would never allow himself to become part of a commercially popuar ensemble!! ;) 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Digital Dad Posted May 20, 2015 Share Posted May 20, 2015 Bebop Deluxe. 5 Brillant studio albums, and a couple of storming live efforts. I love Bill Nelson. One of the truly unhearalded singer/songwriters of the 70's. And guitarists. Give me your money Ill give you my pain its a fair exchange. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
