Underrated Rock or metal bands.

Agree with be Bop Deluxe mentioned above.

Two UK bands from the 60s/70s:

Family
Patto

 

H E A R T

 

Has the internet era been a tremendous boon for the reevaluation of Thin Lizzy? I think they may be more popular now than when they were active. A lot of folks, myself included, have discovered that they are WAY more than just "the Boys Are Back In Town band" in the last 10-15 years.

 

New England
Winger

 

Warrior Soul
Metal Church
Raven

 

Montrose
Tygers of Pan Tang
Humble Pie
Detective
Paul Kossoff's Backstreet Crawlers

 

First one that came to mind is Dust.

 

Fastway
RIOT (first three LP's)
Stryper (current material)*
W.A.S.P. (current material)*

*these two bands recent material should absolutely be played on modern rock radio. Excellent stuff.

 

In Australia...it's RUSH.

 

Vixen
Phantom Blue

 

I agree

Saxon
Triumph
UFO
Living Colour
J Geils Band

 

I really enjoy the Canadian band, Lynx. I don't think I've ever seen them mentioned on this forum.

 

Diamond Head
The Wildhearts
Magnum

 

Free 1 Koss, Kirke, Fraser, Rodgers
Free 2 Koss, Kirke, Tetsu, Rabbit, Rodgers
Don't forget the bridge between both group versions- Kossoff Kirke Tetsu Rabbit by Kossoff Kirke Tetsu & Rabbit!
Free: Walk in my shadow, Moonshine, All right now & Stealer (extended), Magic ship, Guardian of the universe, Heartbreaker, Come together in the morning......
KKTRth the whole album

Finish of with: Oh how we danced lp by Jim Capaldi with Koss all over it......

 

Magnum

 

Europe
King's X

 

STARZ

 

Nice addition as they did a lot on Heartbreaker.
Good extra songs but really prefer the touching box set rehearsal of Guardian to the dull Free at last cut.
Nice you like the KKTR lp as most don't.

 

Billy Squier - Always thought he was a good songwriter with a unique voice. Good guitarist as well.

 

And he looks sharp frolicking in a pink tank top too!..

 

And what about the Back Street Crawler lp? Or the extended CD with John Martyn- Time Away all 30 minutes or so......

 

King’s X
Silverhead

 

Rose Tattoo. Their first album stands alongside anything AC/DC released, plus Mick Cocks is one of the most under-rated guitarists by a mile.
The band that Guns N ' Roses could never come near.

 

Some solo Koss cutsi are very fine but not all, as for the band BSC 2nd Street i much prefer to the debut.
I am a huge fan of Koss and Paul as you undoubtedly seem to be but i don't rate everything as great mainly because it clearly ain't!

 

Raven: first three albums. 1981-1983





The drummer played in a hockey helmet with face cage because he cut himself so many times on his cymbals while thrashing behind the kit. Labelmates with Venom on Neat
