Wonderful video. I'm Brazilian and here's a band from the 70s with just one album called O Peso - In search of lost time (1975).It's really worth listening to.
New to your channel. I’m 65 I’m obsessed with classic rock. Your collection is amazing. Do you watch Rick Beato? Or Professor of rock? Two of my favorite channels.
Probably 90% of your music is not my cup of tea. But I played Kossoff's "Back Street Crawler" and it resonated with me. That feeling you get when something just feels right on a deep level. You do make a difference and add something to the world. Thanks again.
Thanks, Cactus is one of my favorites. The drummer - Carmine Appice kills it on Feel So Good. Their third album- Restrictions is another. Freedom is also fantastic and I like their other albums as well. Early Grand Funk is the real deal especially On Time. The band - Flash first album has got some of the best guitar work!
Bloody hell.... that Paul Pena album is gold... so accomplished sounding too for a debut. Very cool to also learn he wrote the song 'Jet Airliner' which became a major hit for the Steve Miller Band in 1977. Thanks for the tips sir.
Paul Pena is certainly a fascinating musician as even though he was a killer rocker, he gained some notoriety as a Tuvan throat singer and created an interesting combination of blues and Tuvan throat singing
Lots of new stuff to listen to as always. "Armageddon" is a fantastic album. I got one thanks to you. Someone should get that copy at your store! Great record!
Great vid! Two thirds of Cactus Tim Bogert and Carmine Appice joined Jeff Beck who I saw together in the early 70’s. Paul Pena wrote Jet airliner covered by Steve Miller and Terry “Superlungs” Reid was offered the singer job by Jimmy Page before Plant. Thanks Dylan
100% missed that Jesse Davis record indeed! Thanks, Dillon! Incredible record indeed (just picked up a copy of it yesterday). I'm not particularly a blues rock guy, but this record really has the goods and it's got the soul. The backup singer lineup is also crazy. Massive crew there and just a record the goes deeper and deeper with each track. Damn!
An alphabetical list of all bands mentioned... Armageddon; BANG; Budgie; Bull Angus; Bux; Cactus; Charlee; Dust; Elf (Ronnie James Dio lead singer); Fear Itself - Ellen McIIwaine singer; Freedom; Geordie (Bryan Johnson before AC/DC); Grand Funk (all early stuff!!!); Jesse “Ed” Davis; Kossoff - Back Street Crawler - Paul Kossoff guitar; Neil Merryweather - Kryptonite and Space Rangers; Paul Pena; Sir Lord Baltimore; Stark Naked; Stepson; Taste (guitar by Rory Gallagher); Terry Reid - Seed of Memory; Three Man Army; Ultimate Spinach; Velvert Turner Group; Wool. Commercial Break Re-issue plug Stonewall, Magic Ship, Brotherhood of Peace - Cuttin’ Loose, Gary del Vecchio - Buzzin’, Wara - El Inca.
You beat me to it, boss! Amazing band from my hometown of Fort Worth. Bloodrock 2 has the song D.O.A. on it. The ambulance you hear in the background is the one my dad rode as a young paramedic.
Also, if you like pre-AC/DC AC/DC, check out Marcus Hook Roll Band... you probably have already, but worth mentioning. It's Malcom and Angus's first band and I believe Vanda and George Young produced it. SOLID band with lots and lots of AC/DC origin in them. Good stuff!
Thanks for this Dylan, I've got about half of what you listed. Nice to see you mention Rory Gallagher (my favorite guitarist), had the pleasure of seeing him 5 times in California between 82-90. A signed photo from him is one of my most prized possessions. You likely know this one: Blodwyn Pig: Ahead Rings Out (killer stuff). The first two Budgie records were produced by the guy that did the first Black Sabbath record - hence that sound. Cheers from Central California!
There's a band called Sorcery with an album called "Sinister Soldiers" that would fit in nicely in this list! Super ahead-of-it's-time HEAVY and hard 70s rock. Man that is awesome you're able to do re-releases for people who can't find those long out of print gems! Hats off to you fellow music lover! 🤝
Instant like from me when you mention Paul Kossoff. Found and bought a copy of that record this weekend at a record shop for £10. Tuesday morning is truly underrated and the copy I found still was in the shrink and looks to never have been played, crazy!
@noblerecords I can't remember how many times I saw them, but it was a bunch. Its a crime that they are not in the Hall of Fame. Grand Funk ruled in those days.
Supposedly, Jimi Hendrix was once asked what it was like to be the greatest guitar player in the world. His reply was I don't know, go ask Rory Gallagher.
Those Neil Merryweather LPs are killer. I would have described it as glam/hard rock, but the music speaks for itself. Found sealed cut-out copies a couple years ago for cheap.
Great info and thank you for it! I'm now checking out that Jesse Ed Davis album (I'd heard two others but did not know this one); Fear Itself (love Ellen McIlwaine's We the People but did not know this); Cactus; Ultimate Spinach; and Velvert Turner Group (heard about him because of Richard Lloyd stories, but had never heard his music). Many thanks for the inspiration!

SO MANY others. Based on the stuff you listen to, I'd guess you've heard of most/all of these, but thought if I threw enough darts one might stick. My apologies if you've already mentioned some of these on the channel. Thanks for all your hard digging!!
Cool stuff! Lots of new stuff to keep an eye out for! I would suggest Medusa’s Trapeze and Quartermass’s Quartermass. That last one might be more prog than classic rock. It would be cool if you did a video like this for prog rock
Man, I SO appreciate this video, you are my go-to for this type of music that I've never heard! And thanks for the reminder about Bang! , super underrated for sure, and I kind of forgot about them too.
Nice to see Geordie on your list, I got one of their singles for my 11th birthday in 1973! Brian is a fantastic singer & all their albums are worth a listen (as are Budgie’s) 🤟👍😊
Great list here, especially one that you showed Freedom and Taste, check out a band called High Tide - Sea Shanties. a heavy progressive jazz fusion rock album, it's excellent!!
Re Paul Kossoff’s Backstreet Crawler, when I was a kid (in the UK) Paul’s dad, who was a well regarded actor on his own right, would tour schools with an anti drugs message (Paul died from an overdose). I remember him reading out the lyrics to the song Backstreet Crawler like poetry, because it was about Paul’s struggles with drugs. A sad loss and a great guitarist.
Love that Jesse Davis. Saw him playing with Taj Mahal back in 1970. Bought his LP's as they were released. If you have not heard it yet, Taj's new LP Savoy is great!
In the same vein as Paul Pena and Jesse Davis, I highly recommend Sand's Self-Titled double lp. It's a weird one cause it was designed to play on those stackable players so Side 4 is just blank. It's a really beautiful confluence of America-style harmonies, Mojave desert road trip interlacing guitars and just warm vibes. The cover is literally a sandwich. Been a loved one for a long while in my collection.
Dudeeee... I just saw that box with the blue face on your fb story!!! What the heck was that? the music on the background blew my mind, I even called the shop see if you were around to ask you! Greets from a Cuban in Amsterdam !
Cactus, Rusty Day went to the same high school as i did, Jim McCarty is an amazing Grammy winning guitarist, great band, My first bands I ever seen were 3 days before the plane crashed, Buddy Hollie, Ritch Vallens, The big Bopper, and Bill Haley and the comets, and many more rock, soul, blues bands, 2 albums I wore out a few times, that were at the start of electric guitar magic in the early 60's, East West Paul Butterfield, John Mayall and the Blues Breakers with Eric Clapton.. Mike Bloomfield was with Butterfield, he was an unreal guitarist, he was the electric guitarist on Bob Dylans 2nd set a Newport that got Dylan Boooed, when he was the top Folk musican of the time.. these two albums helped bring guitars into the forefront of Rock n Roll...
Wow! You are recommending Fear Itself! My wife is a big Ellen McIlwaine fan and I bought that album as a Christmas present for her. Many of her solo albums are great too!
Dust - Hard Attack is one of my favorites. The guy who did the art work (Frank Frazetta) also did the artwork for the Molly Hatchet and Wolfmother albums, among others.
I picked up the Sir Lord Baltimore in the cutout bin at J.C. Penney for 99 cents when I was a junior in high school (1975-76). That was one well-spent dollar.
Joe Droukas - Goodbye Joe Drake is such a weird and cool album The Frost - Frost Music The Godz - The Godz Kingfish - Live n Kickin’ The Mops are a Japanese psychedelic band that are amazing. Along with Flower Travelin’ Band
You make me feel like I've been living under a rock for 50 years. Never heard of anything you showed. I turned my back on Rock in the early 1970s. I just didn't like what I was hearing, went to classical (and some jazz) and never looked back (except toward the 1960s - Beatles, Stones, etc). That is, until now, where I've been getting into Green Day and Boston. Maybe I'll explore further and look back at all the good stuff that's passed and I've missed.
I'd highly recommend the first two albums by Ballin' Jack. The first album is self titled and the second album is titled "Buzzard Luck." I saw them open for Jimi Hendrix and they were awesome. Hard to pin em down, but the were a west coast band, so theres some of that, but also have horns like Blood SweT & Tears. Give em a listen here on RUclips and let me know what you think.
Brilliant as always! Stepson, Charlee and Neil Merryweather been on my wants list for ever....but that's the UK drawback when looking for US music! Bux and Wool both new to me. I have the other 15 although some are re issues! I saw Budgie several times between 75-81 ish. On one tour they used a second guitarist live (they were a power trio) and it was the heaviest gig I have ever heard! I saw Geordie as support to someone 76ish. Paul Kossoff (and Simon Kirke, drummer of Free) had both left Black Cat Bones before they recorded their only album but you get Rod Price (later of Foghat) on guitar! BCB morphed in to Leafhound and their Growers of Mushrooms album is a stone cold 70s hard rock classic and originals are damned expensive now! Keep up the great work!
....also agree on Bloodrock. I got the S/T album on 8 track from my uncles collection and thought it was one of those cheezy ktel compilations.....until i threw it in and listened to it. When "Melvin Laid an Egg" came on i was hooked....lol.
Grand Funk are cheap heat 🔥🔥🔥and you are correct the live album hits hard, I would add in some Uriah Heep, Jo Jo Gunne, and Atomic Rooster to the 70’s rock albums also easily found
Lots of interesting stuff! Thanks. I’ve heard of a few of the albums that you talked about but there are lots that I didn’t know about. Thanks for sharing!❤
Budgie's third album "Never Turn Your Back on a Friend" is one of the best hard rock records ever to me, and not just because of "Breadfan", the opening track. BTW, their first two albums were produved by Rodger Bain, the same guy who produced Black Sabbath''s first three albums. And Cactus was one of Van Halen's strongest influences (you might find something familiar in the intro for "Let Me Swim").
Budgie's "In for the Kill" is one of the heaviest albums ever recorded onto analog tape. So heavy that there isn't enough oxide on the tape to properly reproduce it's heaviness. When the kick-bass drum and bass guitar both hit at the beginning of the title track, you can hear the recording heads vibrate slightly. Pretty crazy honestly.
When you showed Bang! I looked for my copy behind me (Italian pressing for some reason) and had Baker Gurvitz Army in my hand when you showed Three Man Army. Geordie: “Wey aye man”.
Dylan thank you for the informative video, I'm a big fan of your vids and want to check your store out someday! Anyhow after watching this I found a SEALED ORIGINAL copy of the Stark Naked album from 1971 and yes it is Awesome! Thank you for this recommendation! Jim
Earlier this summer I was digging into a lot of the bands that played at Woodstock. The second day started with a band called Quill. They released one album in 1970 and then disappeared. Very cool psyche/prog.
Paul Pena “Cosmic Mirror” is an amazing tribute to Jimi Hendrix. Also point of interest on the Charlee album Phil Collins is executive producer. Awesome list of forgotten greats. I’ll add: Leaf Hound - Growers Of Mushroom from 1971
Great choices. I bought Armageddon back in 1974 or '75 when it came out. Still a favorite. Budgie too. Taste with Rory I got in the cut-out bin for a buck 50 years ago & Neil Merriweather Space Rangers. Check out Tucky Buzzard & Michael Finnely--good stuff.
Dust is killer stuff, so good. I grabbed the 2013 RSD that has both their albums. I can’t pick which one I like better. And man, that Cactus is great. Now I’m on the hunt for Bux and Stark Naked.
Ultimate Spinach IS great. I like their second album the best. Also pretty funny story how they came up with their name (probably not that surprising tho). I always find their records in the wild but have yet to find a clean one.
Paul Pena is incredible. If you haven't, check out the documentary Ghenghis Blues.... came out in 2000 or so. It follows Paul as he discovers Tuvan throat singing... he takes a trip out there and meets a bunch of Tuvan throat singers... it's just a crazy, awesome movie and lets you see a lot more about who he was. He was also the guitarist for T Bone Walker, so you'll hear him on a bunch of those records... if you're familiar with that record you showed, you'll definitely be able to pick out his guitar on T Bone recordings when he's there.
You neglected to mention that Bux also features Ralph Mormon on vocals, who went on to sing for a bit with the Joe Perry Project! (Joe Perry of Aerosmith's side project, formed during his hiatus from Aerosmith.)
Budgie were a great band I love all their mca albums and I swear next summer I will be ordering from you the UK is so expensive so there's my new years resolution I'm due some money next year so it will happen as long as I don't die
Great to see you giving Cactus some love. So neglected. Jim McCarty, along with Terry Kath, are two of the seriously underrated guitarists in history. And that Bogert/Appice rhythm section. As good as it gets.
If you like Armageddon you need the Speech album from Steamhammer. Both groups have Martin Pugh on guitar and Louis Cennamo on bass. Speech is much heavier and the first song on both albums share the same riff. It's one of my favorite records.
I saw a copy of Armageddon on a trip to Washington DC last year. I passed on it, then streamed the whole album after I got home and regretted leaving it behind! 😭
Snagged a sealed Sir Lord Baltimore / Kingdom Come album in a two for a dollar bin in the early 70's. It's got scalded ape energy, some of the most wild and depraved drumming and about rawest and nastiest guitar ever recorded. Armageddon and the 1st two Budgie records smoke too.
👿🔱😈.. I always find new bands I've never heard of when I watch your videos thank you for that... budget of me sounds like Geddy Lee mixed with Black Sabbath..killer band... your videos also showed me two bands I really dig necromandus and power of Zeus I jam to them all the time..
I believe Bang is from Delaware co. Pa. and have heard them they do have a early Sabbath sound. And Elf opened for Deep Purple on a tour that's where Richie Blackmoore first met RJD, then they formed Rainbow, Richie absorbed Elf then basically spit out the pieces he didn't want
Dylan, one from the 80's that sounds right out 60's complete with didgeridoo! Liquid Jesus Pour in the Sky. The singer sounds like Cher on acid, lol. Killer fn album!

Just swooped in bought Majic Ship and Stonewall while they were still there 🤘🏻
Wonderful video. I'm Brazilian and here's a band from the 70s with just one album called O Peso - In search of lost time (1975).It's really worth listening to.
This is why I’m subbed to your channel, finding stuff I have not heard of yet.
Budgie plays in my home town in Wales a lot in the early seventies. Very underrated band. They were Welsh.
New to your channel. I’m 65 I’m obsessed with classic rock. Your collection is amazing. Do you watch Rick Beato? Or Professor of rock? Two of my favorite channels.
Probably 90% of your music is not my cup of tea. But I played Kossoff's "Back Street Crawler" and it resonated with me. That feeling you get when something just feels right on a deep level. You do make a difference and add something to the world. Thanks again.

Bloody hell.... that Paul Pena album is gold... so accomplished sounding too for a debut. Very cool to also learn he wrote the song 'Jet Airliner' which became a major hit for the Steve Miller Band in 1977. Thanks for the tips sir.
Paul Pena is certainly a fascinating musician as even though he was a killer rocker, he gained some notoriety as a Tuvan throat singer and created an interesting combination of blues and Tuvan throat singing
Lots of new stuff to listen to as always. "Armageddon" is a fantastic album. I got one thanks to you. Someone should get that copy at your store! Great record!
Great vid! Two thirds of Cactus Tim Bogert and Carmine Appice joined Jeff Beck who I saw together in the early 70’s. Paul Pena wrote Jet airliner covered by Steve Miller and Terry “Superlungs” Reid was offered the singer job by Jimmy Page before Plant. Thanks Dylan
Yes! I love the Beck, Bogert & Appice stuff
100% missed that Jesse Davis record indeed! Thanks, Dillon! Incredible record indeed (just picked up a copy of it yesterday). I'm not particularly a blues rock guy, but this record really has the goods and it's got the soul. The backup singer lineup is also crazy.

Great video as always! I think Bloodrock's first few albums fit this category as well, especiall their first record
Yes I agree!
You beat me to it, boss! Amazing band from my hometown of Fort Worth. Bloodrock 2 has the song D.O.A. on it. The ambulance you hear in the background is the one my dad rode as a young paramedic.

Amazing! Thanks for the like! 🙏
I picked up those Bang albums after seeing them open for Grand Funk Railroad. Both good albums.
Great stuff! Would love to see Grand Funk in their prime!
@noblerecords I can't remember how many times I saw them, but it was a bunch. Its a crime that they are not in the Hall of Fame. Grand Funk ruled in those days.
Supposedly, Jimi Hendrix was once asked what it was like to be the greatest guitar player in the world. His reply was I don't know, go ask Rory Gallagher.
I’ve heard that a bunch of different ways! 🤣 he’s a great player!
@@noblerecordsTerry Kath from Chicago Transit Authority also, listen to that album and you’ll know why 😊
Jimi said Terry was better than him !
I think Jimi as humble as he was had named multiple guitarists including Billy Gibbons, Terry Kath and yes Rory was in there 🎸👌🏼
No source for this...
Those Neil Merryweather LPs are killer. I would have described it as glam/hard rock, but the music speaks for itself. Found sealed cut-out copies a couple years ago for cheap.
Yeah you wouldn’t be wrong. Thanks for watching! 🙏

Also, one you recommended before that's not common that I got and loved, "Road." Great album. Not the cheapest, but really, really good.
One of my favorite under-the-radar albums is Rough Mix by Pete Townshend & Ronnie Lane. Absolutely fantastic from start to finish.
Very cool. Thanks for watching! 🙏
Here we go again , Dillon ! Lots of ”new” stuff to listen to. Love it.
Robin Trower - Bridge of Sighs! very overlooked album!
Is it ''Sighs!'' the key word there...?
Glad you included Elf and Three Man Army. Gurvitz brothers first album before Three Man Army, Gun, is amazing. Race with the Devil…
Nice to see Geordie on your list, I got one of their singles for my 11th birthday in 1973! Brian is a fantastic singer & all their albums are worth a listen (as are Budgie’s) 🤟👍😊
Thanks! Both are great!
Great list here, especially one that you showed Freedom and Taste, check out a band called High Tide - Sea Shanties. a heavy progressive jazz fusion rock album, it's excellent!!
Yes! I have it! It’s amazing!

Awesome! Yeah I’ve had her solo albums in the past. She’s cool 😎
Saw Cactus a couple times. Tim Bogert and Carmine Appice from Vanilla Fudge placed bass and drums. Good choice with Taste Rory Gallagher great !!!!
Wow.
I had "Armageddon" when it came out... (I'm geezin")
Long gone but I remember "Buzzard" ... killer riff.
Happy holidays.
Peace on earth.

Dust - Hard Attack is one of my favorites. The guy who did the art work (Frank Frazetta) also did the artwork for the Molly Hatchet and Wolfmother albums, among others.
Yes! It’s a cooker for sure!
Dust, Budgie and Bang are some of the heaviest music outside of Sabbath! Some of my top albums!
Nice video Dylan a couple i always recommend that are overlooked are Ursa Major with Dick Wagner + Marcus on united artists label
I picked up the Sir Lord Baltimore in the cutout bin at J.C. Penney for 99 cents when I was a junior in high school (1975-76). That was one well-spent dollar.
Hey Dylan!! Great Show!!! How About "Teaser" By Tommy Bolin!! He Was So Underrated And Missed!!
Joe Droukas - Goodbye Joe Drake is such a weird and cool album
The Frost - Frost Music
The Godz - The Godz
Kingfish - Live n Kickin’
The Mops are a Japanese psychedelic band that are amazing. Along with Flower Travelin’ Band
Great video. I also reccomend Tim Rose, Tom Rush and Little Feat all pretty cheap on vinyl too.
Yes! Love little feet!
Thanks mate, I’ll note this. I adore proto-metal, hard-blues and heavy-psych stuff.
Awesome! Thanks for watching! 🙏
You make me feel like I've been living under a rock for 50 years. Never heard of anything you showed. I turned my back on Rock in the early 1970s. I just didn't like what I was hearing, went to classical (and some jazz) and never looked back (except toward the 1960s - Beatles, Stones, etc). That is, until now, where I've been getting into Green Day and Boston. Maybe I'll explore further and look back at all the good stuff that's passed and I've missed.
Thanks for the promotion of Paul Pena. I bought some of his music.
Yes on Budgie, Relf is the weak link on Armeggedon, Elf of course, Cactus, Terry Reid, and Taste. The rest I'll have to check out.
These are absolute gems - thanks so much for sharing 🙏
Thanks for the more unknown albums to go and check out
I'd highly recommend the first two albums by Ballin' Jack. The first album is self titled and the second album is titled "Buzzard Luck." I saw them open for Jimi Hendrix and they were awesome. Hard to pin em down, but the were a west coast band, so theres some of that, but also have horns like Blood SweT & Tears. Give em a listen here on RUclips and let me know what you think.
Yeah I’ve had those! Very cool!
Brilliant as always! Stepson, Charlee and Neil Merryweather been on my wants list for ever....but that's the UK drawback when looking for US music! Bux and Wool both new to me. I have the other 15 although some are re issues!
I saw Budgie several times between 75-81 ish. On one tour they used a second guitarist live (they were a power trio) and it was the heaviest gig I have ever heard! I saw Geordie as support to someone 76ish.
Paul Kossoff (and Simon Kirke, drummer of Free) had both left Black Cat Bones before they recorded their only album but you get Rod Price (later of Foghat) on guitar! BCB morphed in to Leafhound and their Growers of Mushrooms album is a stone cold 70s hard rock classic and originals are damned expensive now!
Keep up the great work!
Thanks so much!
I can’t believe that I never heard of Sir Lord Baltimore. They were pretty good. I learned something today. Thanks!
....also agree on Bloodrock. I got the S/T album on 8 track from my uncles collection and thought it was one of those cheezy ktel compilations.....until i threw it in and listened to it. When "Melvin Laid an Egg" came on i was hooked....lol.
Yes! I almost put Bloodrock on the list!
Grand Funk are cheap heat 🔥🔥🔥and you are correct the live album hits hard, I would add in some Uriah Heep, Jo Jo Gunne, and Atomic Rooster to the 70’s rock albums also easily found
Lots of interesting stuff! Thanks. I’ve heard of a few of the albums that you talked about but there are lots that I didn’t know about. Thanks for sharing!❤
Awesome! That’s what it’s all about! Thanks for watching! 🙏
@@noblerecords No problem. I love your enthusiasm. I don’t know enough people that can talk about music. 👍
Budgie's third album "Never Turn Your Back on a Friend" is one of the best hard rock records ever to me, and not just because of "Breadfan", the opening track. BTW, their first two albums were produved by Rodger Bain, the same guy who produced Black Sabbath''s first three albums.
And Cactus was one of Van Halen's strongest influences (you might find something familiar in the intro for "Let Me Swim").
Was able to see cactus wish l could have seen budgie
Budgie's "In for the Kill" is one of the heaviest albums ever recorded onto analog tape. So heavy that there isn't enough oxide on the tape to properly reproduce it's heaviness. When the kick-bass drum and bass guitar both hit at the beginning of the title track, you can hear the recording heads vibrate slightly. Pretty crazy honestly.
Dust " Hard Attack" is another good one. In my collection.
Oh yeah, great one!
Both Dust records are fantastic
Dillon, Truth and Janey out of Cedar Rapids, Iowa, had some good rocking ass kicking stuff!
When you showed Bang! I looked for my copy behind me (Italian pressing for some reason) and had Baker Gurvitz Army in my hand when you showed Three Man Army. Geordie: “Wey aye man”.
Haha crazy!
Dylan thank you for the informative video, I'm a big fan of your vids and want to check your store out someday! Anyhow after watching this I found a SEALED ORIGINAL copy of the Stark Naked album from 1971 and yes it is Awesome! Thank you for this recommendation! Jim
Awesome! Thanks for watching! 🙏
Did you ever hear Cherry People, Punky Meadows was in that band also it was more psych
That first Angel record is a total hard rock banger. No hair metal in that one.
The band I recommend looking into is Charlie. A Prog Rock Band from the Mid 70's to about 1986.
Earlier this summer I was digging into a lot of the bands that played at Woodstock. The second day started with a band called Quill.
They released one album in 1970 and then disappeared. Very cool psyche/prog.
Yes! That’s a great one!
Cactus, is another favorite of mine. Their song "Alaska" is one of my all-time favs.
🔥
Paul Pena “Cosmic Mirror” is an amazing tribute to Jimi Hendrix. Also point of interest on the Charlee album Phil Collins is executive producer. Awesome list of forgotten greats. I’ll add: Leaf Hound - Growers Of Mushroom from 1971
Yeah I love leaf hound! Would have put it on the list but original pressings are like $7,000! 🤣
My friends older brother had Black Sabbath grand funk old Rolling Stones. Great stuff.
Michael in Germany just was raving about Twenty Six Sixty and Then, and I checked it out and it sounds pretty amazing.
Great choices. I bought Armageddon back in 1974 or '75 when it came out. Still a favorite. Budgie too. Taste with Rory I got in the cut-out bin for a buck 50 years ago & Neil Merriweather Space Rangers. Check out Tucky Buzzard & Michael Finnely--good stuff.
Dust is killer stuff, so good. I grabbed the 2013 RSD that has both their albums. I can’t pick which one I like better. And man, that Cactus is great. Now I’m on the hunt for Bux and Stark Naked.
Rory Gallagher was born just down the road from me. Dad saw him twice back in the day. One of the gigs he was live with Phil Lynott of Thin Lizzy
Very cool! Thanks for watching! 🙏
Irish Tour 74 luv that album.
Merry Xmas friend
Ultimate Spinach IS great. I like their second album the best. Also pretty funny story how they came up with their name (probably not that surprising tho). I always find their records in the wild but have yet to find a clean one.
Yeah they got played hard! Thanks for watching! 🙏
Armageddon. Great album. You can't go wrong with anything Bobby Caldwell is on.
Paul Pena is incredible. If you haven't, check out the documentary Ghenghis Blues.... came out in 2000 or so. It follows Paul as he discovers Tuvan throat singing... he takes a trip out there and meets a bunch of Tuvan throat singers... it's just a crazy, awesome movie and lets you see a lot more about who he was. He was also the guitarist for T Bone Walker, so you'll hear him on a bunch of those records... if you're familiar with that record you showed, you'll definitely be able to pick out his guitar on T Bone recordings when he's there.
Never heard of Paul Pena but man I really like his album. Thanks for turning me on to this.
Any time! 🫡
@ you wouldn’t happen to have a copy in the shop would you?
You neglected to mention that Bux also features Ralph Mormon on vocals, who went on to sing for a bit with the Joe Perry Project! (Joe Perry of Aerosmith's side project, formed during his hiatus from Aerosmith.)
Budgie were a great band I love all their mca albums and I swear next summer I will be ordering from you the UK is so expensive so there's my new years resolution I'm due some money next year so it will happen as long as I don't die
Well I hope you make it! Thanks for watching! 🙏
Great to see you giving Cactus some love. So neglected. Jim McCarty, along with Terry Kath, are two of the seriously underrated guitarists in history. And that Bogert/Appice rhythm section. As good as it gets.
Totally agree!
I am sure you knew this but did not mention. The drummer for Dust was Marky Ramone.
Yes! I did know that. Forgot to mention it!
If you like Armageddon you need the Speech album from Steamhammer. Both groups have Martin Pugh on guitar and Louis Cennamo on bass. Speech is much heavier and the first song on both albums share the same riff. It's one of my favorite records.
I saw a copy of Armageddon on a trip to Washington DC last year. I passed on it, then streamed the whole album after I got home and regretted leaving it behind! 😭
You know I dig it! 👍 Great albums here people!
Have you ever heard the album from 1971 the Original Wizard? Incredible album! Would love to see a Noble Records reissue of it! :)
I actually tried but someone else
Already got the rights 😢
First two Ultimate Spinach albums are great stuff 👍
Snagged a sealed Sir Lord Baltimore / Kingdom Come album in a two for a dollar bin in the early 70's. It's got scalded ape energy, some of the most wild and depraved drumming and about rawest and nastiest guitar ever recorded. Armageddon and the 1st two Budgie records smoke too.
“Street Corner Talkin” by Savoy Brown is a album that I think people are sleeping on. Front to back great blues rock.
I was hoping you were going to mention Neil Merryweather! Great glam rock records!
👿🔱😈.. I always find new bands I've never heard of when I watch your videos thank you for that... budget of me sounds like Geddy Lee mixed with Black Sabbath..killer band... your videos also showed me two bands I really dig necromandus and power of Zeus I jam to them all the time..
I believe Bang is from Delaware co. Pa. and have heard them they do have a early Sabbath sound. And Elf opened for Deep Purple on a tour that's where Richie Blackmoore first met RJD, then they formed Rainbow, Richie absorbed Elf then basically spit out the pieces he didn't want
So good!
I was going to suggest Armageddon and Budgie and then you showed them. Very popular albums in San Antonio. Don’t forget Captain Beyond.
Yep! Another great one!
Good Stuff. Check out Highway S/T (1975). Ultra rare but they reissued a year or so ago and its fantastic. Out of MN. I love that record.
Oh yeah that’s a great one! Looking hard for an original?
Dylan, one from the 80's that sounds right out 60's complete with didgeridoo! Liquid Jesus Pour in the Sky. The singer sounds like Cher on acid, lol. Killer fn album!
Love the Jesse Ed Davis album. And, yes: there's a little Dr. John in it, for sure.
Great stuff!
Wool is one of my favorites. It was fairly hard to find a few years ago.
It’s a good one!
20:35 I have Armageddon and Budgie's If I were Brittania I'd waive the Rules. And two Cactus records as well.
