Members kayd_mon Posted September 27, 2013 Members Share Posted September 27, 2013 King's X - always just under the mainstream, but popular and influential. It's hard to answer this question, though. Just because I love a band doesn't mean they should be on the cover of Rolling Stone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Dr. Scottie C Posted September 29, 2013 Author Members Share Posted September 29, 2013 These bands had success, but I think with better marketing & management had the ability/talent to be much bigger.1) Little River Band2) INXS3) Jon Cleary Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members kayd_mon Posted October 1, 2013 Members Share Posted October 1, 2013 Kamelot? How have I not heard of them? I listen to a lot of prog, and they have never come on my Pandora station. I shall look them up... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Sauntman Posted October 2, 2013 Members Share Posted October 2, 2013 Kamelot is mainly symphonic power metal but sort of prog at times. Their albums The Black Halo, Epica and Karma are a good place to start though they have eight or nine albums by now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members eightyeightkeys Posted October 3, 2013 Members Share Posted October 3, 2013 +1 Jellyfish.They brought a lot of influences together from the past, Queen, The Beach Boys, XTC, etc...and crafted them exceedingly well into a completely modern sound. Extended lush harmonies, disonance, mayhem at times and superb tones (JJP)Only two albums....dang...I loved 'em. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members TeeJay01 Posted October 3, 2013 Members Share Posted October 3, 2013 A lot depends on where and when, as others have noted (e.g. the Kinks were HUGE where I grew up). That being said, any band in the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame, or earned a Grammy, or any number of notable achievements can be eliminated from this discussion. And there are so, so many who flew/continue-to-fly under the radar. I must agree with some others (Mott the Hoople, Small Faces), and I'll also suggest: Boomers YYZ (talented, tasteful, dare-I-say "classy" Canadians) Climax Blues Band (long before they turned pop) Dwight Twilley Band (jerked around by "the man" but quite talented; ask Tom Petty) The Jam (revered in the U.K. yet booed off stage in Indiana opening up for "the Nuge") Soft Boys (Robyn Hitchcock's punk brilliance, amazing to this day) I'll guess some of these were also quite successful, elsewhere ...

Members docjeffrey Posted October 4, 2013 Members Share Posted October 4, 2013 Big Star Fear Factory Mastadon Machine Head Outside of metal circles, few have heard of Machine Head. They think they have becuase of Deep Purple's 1971 album of the same name, or they get them confused with Motorhead. Machine Head is my 2nd favorite metal band behind the Deftones. Love those guys.

Members kayd_mon Posted October 5, 2013 Members Share Posted October 5, 2013 I agree with bucks, here. What did Fripp do to you? I never met him, but I've read stories of him being a difficult person. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members turckster Posted October 5, 2013 Members Share Posted October 5, 2013 Vanden Plas-German metal/progressive metal band that keeps getting better with each release. Y&T-70's to present heavy metal/hard rock band that was always on the edge of making it big but just never happened. I also think Dave Meniketti is one of the most underrated guitarists as well. A similar style to Gary Moore.Kings'X-they've been mentioned, great band that really deserves more recognition Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members ratcher Posted October 5, 2013 Members Share Posted October 5, 2013 So may bands, so little timeMoby Grape -great guitar band still gigging The Buckinghams - before their produced bailed to start Chicago, they were a hit machine from the Second City J Geils - they defined the genre when they were on top - just ask faye dunawaye... Little Feat - took a NOLA beat and crossed it with slide guitar blues - I still tear up when I hear Lowell George really scorch a song either live or in the studio Booker T and The MGs - listen to anything that came out of Memphis in the 60s and 70s and hear the rhythm section and you'll get an idea of the power and influence of these guys. Otis Redding, Sam and Dave, Irma thomas, just to name a couple...We now have the (Way overdue) Standing in the Shadows of Motown which FINALLY gives these guys the credit they deserve as hit makers. And the upcoming documentary on Muscle Shoals we get a glimpse oof how they contributed to black and music in that time in our history. We need one to complete the circuit of what these guys in hythm and blues contributed the white catalog of music.We need to document the enormous contriburtion that black composers, musicians and record labels did to advance their music and its forms, especiallly as those folks are dying of now and treir stories will never be told.
