Thin Lizzy, they don't get anywhere near the amount of respect they deserve. Though there's a statue of Phil Lynott in Dublin, that's pretty badass
MOUNTAIN....Lesley West..no better guitar than Alvin Lee and TEN YEARS AFTER.. VANILLA FUDGE...all original members still going strong today as individuals and as a group..(Carmine Appice the most prominent) GRAND FUNK RAILROAD...Mark Farmer, where are you?
ya I checked out Thin Lizzy and they are bangin. and my dad is pretty big on Vanilla Fudge, I've heard alot of their stuff, it's awesome. thanks for the suggestions, keep 'em coming
Gong - (Flying Teapot, Angel's Egg, You) Hippie Jazz. When I was a child, I thought this was the kind of music the Grateful Dead must make. If Phish, John Coltrane, and Tom Robbins were to collaborate, it might sound like Gong. XTC - (English Settlement, Skylarking, Nonsuch, Apple Venus Vol. 1) Beatle-esque pop perfection. Witty, meaningful Lyrics, playful, sophisticated melodies, flawless musicianship. Gentle Giant - (Free Hand, Octopus, The Power and the Glory) Funky Prog Rock, this is what it might have sounded like if Stevie Wonder had written Quadrophenia. Big Star - (#1 Record, Radio City) Imagine a world without College Rock, Indy Rock, Grunge, Alternative, or whatever else you want to draw from this band's influence. The Replacements - (Let It Be, Tim, Pleased To Meet Me) Proto-grunge, at its drunken melodic, raucus best. If Eddie Vedder drank with Joe Strummer . . . Robyn Hitchcock - (Globe of Frogs, Queen Elvis, I Often Dream of Trains) Classic British eccentric genius pop. I think he would love to be compared to Syd Barrett. Pavement - (Crooked Rain, Crooked Rain, Wowee Zowee, Brighten The Corners) If Lou Reed sang Dylanesque lyrics with the Replacements, well, you would still want to wear out a few copies of these records.
