Slick 70s rock bands - lesser known

not obscure in Germany but didnt really make à great impact on the rest of the world
Lake - On the run

 

one of my all-time favourute bands but I wouldn't call them "slick" by any means

 

also from Germany

 

That track is pretty slick no?

 

British, so not sure if they still qualify, Sniff N The Tears "Driver's Seat"-

 

Great songwriter. 'Music' was a great slice of great songwriting, a mini epic

 

From the 1970 album, Bronco - Country Home

 

They weren't so much obscure in Australia, but I would think they are everywhere else.
Sherbert

 

I love Bronco and have had their albums for 40 years or so - they are the opposite of slick , Jess Roden's solo albums, however, move a little closer in this direction

 

They totally qualify as one of those many slick rock bands that disappeared once punk/new wave swept them all away forever.
Who could forget this superb album cover of theirs:

 

John Mellancamp was part of it all when he was calling himself John Cougar.
He didn't make a dent in Britain. I don't know at what point he started getting good sales in the US.

 

Very well known here in Oz but nowhere else i think, fantastic song, the only one of his i like.

 

This band had a minor hit with this song. The singer sounds so much like Noddy Holder from Slade.

 

I loved that song too
