anyone have some good choices for obscure 70s rock? i'm really feeling some Uriah Heep right now . . .

Posted by call me Ishmael (aka pacrat) Nov 13 '15, 21:22

but it can be someone else . . .

i'm looking for some ideas on . . . well, i said 'obscure' but Uriah Heep may not exactly be obscure . . . maybe i'm just looking for some older stuff that isn't as well known but was still kick ass stuff from the 70s.

thanks in advance ...

This is Chicago centric, and you have to rummage around a bit, but there's some stuff that fits the bill in this link -- (link) - toblr.2 Nov 13, 22:30

- I was like, that sounds similar to the version I have, then looked it up. Pepper sang with Everything is Everything which had this as a single in '69 - Covington Nov 14, 04:31

- Not all are terribly "obscure." Some of these are more in the realm of "I haven't thought of that band in a long time ...." -- nm - ReluctantCynic Nov 13, 22:16 3
  - Those guys are still in play on classic rock stations, tull had something of a revival -- nm - zeitgeist Nov 13, 22:20 2
    - Good point. I guess the only other 1970s band of obscurity I can think of is Can. Or Captain Beefheart. -- nm - ReluctantCynic Nov 13, 22:37 1
      - Some bands fall into obscurity, beef heart achieved it (I actually owned their album) -- nm - zeitgeist Nov 13, 22:48
