Recommend some 70s deep cuts

I have a rather large music library. I am out of ideas for new music I haven't heard yet. I am on a '70s rock/pop kick. Name some deep cuts I should listen to. I think the last thing I bought was "Thunder Island" by Jay Ferguson because I heard it on Family Guy. I'm out of ideas. Got any recommendations?

 

Here's one to check out...the first solo album by Shigeru Suzuki (guitar player in the legendary Japanese band 'Happy End'). Recorded in San Francisco, with players from Little Feat, Sly and the Family Stone, and other heavy-hitters.



Also, if you haven't already, you NEED to check out the radio/podcast show "The Many Moods of Ben Vaughn." I've discovered tons of cool stuff from that show, which features mostly somewhat obscure '60s and '70s rock/pop/r'n'b tracks.

 

Roxy Roller, Sweeney Todd

Two For the Show, Trooper

Something Better, Chilliwack

Are You Ready for Love, Patsy Gallant

Some Canadian 70s singles for you...

 

Arlyn Gale, Back to the Midwest Night:

 

Klaatu their self titled first album has some cool songs that feature the mellotron for that Beatles sound.

 

Kayak- Ballad For A Lost Friend (1977)

 

Not sure what you have so I will say Steely Dan Can't Buy a Thrill. Mahavishnu Orchestra Inner Mounting Flame. Jeff Beck Blow buyBlow. Allman Brothers Eat a Peach. Return to Forever Where Have I known You Before. Now if you really want to go down a road of deep stuff many have not heard of Kaptain Kopter and the Twirly Birds. Elf self titled. Mark Almond Live. Climax Blus Band FM. Tim Wiesberg's Live, it is really great with using an old Echoplex with his flute. I like Atomic Rosster IV but most don't. That should get you started.

 

I recorded this off WCCW-FM in Traverse City Michigan back in 1973. With no commercial interruption. The songs in order as they were broadcast. Captain Beyond-Dancing madly backwards. . Fleetwood Mac-Oh well Parts 1 and 2 Atomic Rooster- Death walks behind you. Jeff Beck- Rice Pudding . Black Sabbath - Planet Caravan

 

Have you heard of Rodriguez?

My apologies if he's already well-known to you.

 

Prism - Take Me to the Kaptin.

 

" Holding On to Yesterday", Ambrosia
"Hold On", Ian Gomm

"Livin' Ain't Livin", Firefall
"Love Gone By", Dan Fogleberg

 

April Wine - Oowatanite.

 

Not sure how deep to dig, but here's a good one:

Bill Fay - Omega Day (1971)

 

Ramatam, The Land / Rainy Sunday Evening:

 

Greg Kihn - Don't Expect To Be Right

 

Christie - Yellow River

 

pescado rabioso - rock de la selva madre (the whole double album is great)

 

How bout this?


Ooops this is 80s!

 

Ambrosia - Time Waits for No One. This has a definite Alan Parsons (who produced it) vibe to it.

 

One more and one of my favorites. Tarney Spencer Band - No Time To Lose

 

Gotta have some Big Star:

 

Nick Gilder - Metro Jets
