Under-rated bands/artists (that we've actually heard of!)

Now for mine:
The J. Giels Band (or is it Geils?)
George Thorogood
Nils Lofgren from The E Street Band, he had a pretty good solo career going before he joined The Boss
Southside Johnny & The Asbury Jukes

good list.

URIAH HEEP

Aack mr oc loves them and Quicksilver Messenger Service also listed. I can't take listening to UH. I run the vacuum while he's singing with his headphones.

Frampton (circa '75) was the first concert I was ever going to see (I was 14)...
but I crashed on my motorcycle just a few days before the big show at Balboa Stadium and had a concussion.

Folks said, " yeah.... no deal"

i will agree with frampton as well as John Denver. I saw Frampton on a tv special recently and he's still so great. He hated the whole teen idol thing. But I'll admit to the poster from alive on my wall.

Sparks also did "praying for a party"

we must have the wrong song..
I am thinking of the song
If you want to get to heaven you have to raise a little hell...
if you want to keep a secret you gotta promise not to tell.

I saw Toby Keith do that song.. My older sister was like... Hey i remember
that song...
