So glad you mentioned Ruphus. There was some real good Norwegian prog bands in the 70s Popol vuh/Popol ace is another one. Frank Zappa wanted them on his label and the singer Jan Teigen was a hot candidate to join Genesis aften Gabriel left. There is some new Bands as well. Leprous is a fantastic metal prog Band.
Thanks Pete for covering a San Francisco Bay Area band, Y & T. A terrific rock band, like UFO, a very underrated band that should have been huge. Also, after your Foghat vs Nazerath show a couple of days back, I once again listened to Foghat’s Night Shift album. I forgot how great this album was. Almost as good as Fool For tithe City, but still a great album. Thanks.
I'm more into the extreme metal side of things and I found you from your Death ranking, but man kudos to you for all these videos and the knowledge you drop in them! I've found a lot of killer albums from the 60's and 70's just from watching you these past few weeks. Keep doing your thing man! It's appreciated
There were so many great acts in the late 60s thru the 70s that a lot of great music fell thru the cracks and were never heard from again. It's nice that you bring attention to them. Keep up the great work. Peace
Hi Pete, thank you for all your efforts, it’s amazing what you do. Since I started watching your videos, I listen more concentrated to the music, same as I did when I was a teenager discovering prog rock and hard rock. Discovering unknown stuff with you now. 70ies forever, by far the best decade. Go ahead Pete!
Cool stuff. Yesterday and Today. First two albums are classics. Leonard Hazes is an incredible drummer. Just watched their performance from winterland from 1974, blew me away. These guys could really play.
Thank you so much for this video... I say this with no ego... At 53 years old I have over 5000 records. Thank you thank you thank you!!! you just turned me on to some stuff that I never heard and can really dig !!! I had to watch the video again to write the names down LOL-Take care brother
Attila is an awesome album, I have been curious about it ever since I heard of its existence, when it was spoken about during radio shows where Billy's pop tracks are being played. I have an original Epic pressing on vinyl and it absolutely scorches.
Another great episode Pete! And again, lots of stuff to discover and listen to. Thanks for that! And you won the price for the quote of the week: "I never heard of Elephants Memory"...
There is a German band called “My Ship”. Only one record. They’re outrageous. My ex girlfriend had that vinyl and I’ve been hunting for it for two decades until I found it in a downloadable form. Can’t recommend enough - what a banger.
Pete, ever heard of a band called Pagans Mind? A prog metal band from Norway. I think they're great! Great riffs, leads and vocals! Very Deep Purple sounding band!
Really interesting show, and highly informative. Thanks. On the Elephants Memory Band, they were the backing band for John and Yoko for the Sometime in New York City album, which was released in 1972. I see, now after I've scrolled a bit, this info has been mentioned, however the LP was initially a two disc offering dealing with topical social issues at the time with "Woman Is The Nigger Of The World" as the most controversial. The album was a 180 degree departure from the first two highly acclaimed solo releases and further stoked the anti-Yoko sentiment the world held at the time. The second record had one side with Frank Zappa and his Mothers of Invention band when Flo & Eddie (formerly of The Turtles) were in tow. Really interesting extended stuff that echoed George Harrison's jams on his "All Things Must Pass" album with the Mothers breaking into "Happy Together" at the end. Maybe a topic for another day- Great songs of social protest vs. lousy songs of social protest. "For What It's Worth"/"Murder In My Heart For The Judge." Thanks again for the cool show and takes. :D
Love Y&T. They released a great live BBC In Concert LP which included their 1984 Monsters of Rock appearance here in the UK. There are awesome versions of Mean Streak and Rescue Me on it.
Around 1970, in Houston, “Mongoose” by Elephant’s Memory received a small amount of airplay. I may have heard the song on the radio about 4 or 5 times in that time period.
The 1st two Yesterday and Today albums have some scaled ape riffs on em'! Thanks for tips, haven't heard the Stark Naked or Emergency stuff...need more cds like a hole in the head but will hunt em' down anyway.
Great show Pete, as usual. Thanks for all you do! I know you are a Hammond lover, have you listened to the band Bla Lotus. Monster keys from this new band! Anyway, keep up the good work!
More obscure, but great releases: Sherbs 'The Skill', The October Project 'Falling Further In', The Church 'Starfish', The Sound 'From The Lion's Mouth', Barry Goudreau (self titled solo), Zebra (self titled).
'Starfish' is one of the greatest albums ever made. I think most people might recognize the song "Under the Milky Way", as it still gets air play here and there.
I saw the Attila and was like "wow Pete knows about Attila!" but it is a different Attila that I know of with an album called "Rolling Thunder". It is 80's metal.
Hey Pete, i would like to recommend an incredible prog/jazz fusion/space band from the '70's if you haven't heard them already. I believe that you are gonna be suprised very pleasantly with their music and feel shock and awe. Propably you have never heard them before and they are from Poland. Their name is SBB. A fantastic mix of Mahavishnu Orchestra, Return to Forever, Eloy, Hawkwind, Yes and Pink Floyd. Propably some ELP in some places...They are true legends in their country considered as a supergroup, but because of the Iron Curtain back in the days, they weren't recognised as they should be for their value and their music in the rest of Europe much, even though they were famous. The best incredible guitarist that you propably never heard of before named Apostolis Anthimos, in the same level (not joking) of Meola and McLaughlin of Greek origin, an immigrant from Greece that plays double neck Gibson guitars and other instruments and three other multi-instrumentalists as well amazing members that play drums, bass and moog etc.. Check them out...hope you'll find very interesting..this album is among their best and they have lots of albums and they still play today..amazing musicianship and compositions. I think you are going to lose your mind with this: m.ruclips.net/video/BRpT1GWTXX4/видео.html
Amazing stuff as always! Ruphus,Salem Mass! Those Gift albums are essential. Pete. Do you know Trettioåriga Kriget from Sweden? First 2 albums are not from this world. Greetings from Finland!!!
In the UK the only live Max Webster was on one side of the album 'Magnetic Air', 5 tracks on the other side are studio tracks from the previous/first two albums, this was released as an introduction of MW to the UK after touring with Rush (where I saw them). I bought it (on release) & then discovered & bought an import vinyl 'Live Magnetic Air'. I have just managed to get it on CD. Rare (here) & not cheap. As are many of MW & Kim Mitchell albums.
Hi Pete, have you ever heard Rare Earth? They were a great rock band from late 60s early 70s signed to Motown. Music is like a mixture of rock and soul with great vocals and great riffs and other instrumentation including brass on some tracks. Reminds me of a mixture of Deep Purple, Early Chicago, Blood Sweat and Tears, Ides Of March and Grand Funk Railroad. Check out their cover of Smokey Robinsons Get Ready. They're like precursors to Living Colour and Mothers Finest, like a heavier Parliament/Funkadelic. By the way I love these shows you do on obscurities and have picked up a few of the albums you've featured due to your recommendation and all have been really good, thank you. Jerry
Love the forgotten gems, here's some more, Lucifers Friend-s/t Ger71, Socrates Drank the Conium- Taste of Conium Gre72, Thunder and Roses-King of the Black Sunrise US69, Dies Irae-First Ger71, Neon Rose -Dream of Glory and Pride Swe74, Road-s/t US72.
Another great forgotten band was Trouble-And I don't remember how I got hold of the cassette "Manic Frustration" is a total asskicking album Yes every song has one greatest riff lifted by Zep,Sabbath,DP etc but still awesome...
Yesterday and Today...the pride of Amador High School. I saw them open for somebody at Winterland touring behind the first album. They were swilling Jack Daniels on stage while playing 'Alcohol.'
Gift fucking kills it! Emergency was awesome! I really dig a lot of music out of Germany from the early 70's. Y&T tried too hard to fit in with the metal bands during the 80's and they were better than most of 'em. Great show, Pete. Thanks!
I knew a professor that had the original Attila vinyl. I'm sure you've heard of Frijid Pink, their debut is awesome, their other albums are ok. Cool video.
Ohhh C'mon man... I told you about Marcus King some months ago, I told you about his being the heir of the jam band thing like ... The Allman Brothers !! and you answered (on your question & Answer show) like I'm talking non-sense, that you didn't heard fire on their music and so ... and now you're agreeing with me ... well I'm happy you did.. check out their concerts from the Brooklyn Bowl (3 nights in a row with different setlists) and the Homedown Throwdown last couple of weeks back - killer!!! (you can see them on MKB RUclips Channel). Like the ABB they're much better live than in the studio - Greetings from Rio de Janeiro - keep on doing what you're doing - love your shows.
I'm a huge Y&T fan. I'm surprised they never really took off. Weird that I never heard of Winterhawk. Ive lived there from 1963 to 2016. I'll need to look them up....Just listened to some of them. They are really good. I'm surprised Ive never heard them. They are really tight. I think the only thing they are lacking is good production. Sounds like it was recorded 8 track.
Pete this is why I love this channel-because I am always turned on to new shit.Nucleus "Elastic Rock" is killer/kinda like "In a Silent Way" & Jade Warrior "Floating World is killer & "Waves" which has Steve Winwood joins in on MOOG...
I would like to mention Jade Warrior-Last Autumn's Dream, Twelve Dreams of Dr Sardonlcus by Spirit, and two obscure British bands, Clear Blue Sky and May Blitz.Red Sea the second album by Warhorse is a solid album.
Pete, have you ever heard of Dust from New York? Early 70's band and heavy for it's time. They had 2 albums, Dust (1970) and Hard Attack (1971). Their drummer was none other than March Bell (aka Marky Ramone).
I share the same sentiment about Atilla. Much maligned, but I think undeservedly so. I love this album. It is groovy and fun. 'Wonder woman' especially RIPS. It does have the silliest album cover of all time though. The two of them standing in a meat locker dressed as huns. Because that's what huns do, I guess.
Pete, you know, besides early Guru Guru, i'd say the heaviest krautrock album ever is Silberbart's sole LP. in fact, one of the weirdest and heaviest heavy psych albums EVER. kinda like Blue Cheer, early Sabbath, heavy Hendrix, early Guru Guru, weird Can... on acid, mushrooms, peyote, and DMT, with a dash of hash and a couple of whisky shots... just insane, i mean it. contender to Randy Holden's 'Population ii' project. i mean, really, if you out-Sabbath Sabbath and out-Guru Guru's debut LP, you're onto something. more than recommended.
@@seaoftranquilityprog Cool. I'm fairly new to the channel, and getting caught up on things. Really enjoy what I've watched so far. Except for the heavier metal stuff, we have amazing similar tastes in music.
Hi pete been trying to track down a long lost band from the 70s i heard on a compilation called strictly for connoiseurs - lost the tape years ago - it was full of 70s american bands that where popular but not huge, there was a song called searchin for a dream - do you know that song and what band it was , starcastle , zon , the boyzz , angel etc where all on the record - speaking of obscure stuff do you know the welch group - man? - gr8 folky /jam rock stuff well worth a listen , i have all their old 70s stuff.love them
Thanx pete so much - been trying to track down that compilation for years - everyone i asked, before you was left scratching there head lol - you truly know your stuff , brilliant - did seachin for a dream ever come out out as a single - also apologies over doubting you over the man cds LOL - of course you would have such cool stuff - man are so underrated /unknown to many, they were equally as good as their peer hawkwind etc - they shoulda been bigger - the musianship in the band was xlnt
@@seaoftranquilityprog thanx for sending the link to discogs pete, ordered already lol while eating breakfast - i entered a couple of searches into discogs in the past - but forgot the album title is mispelled with a k - i always spelled it with a c - which rendered no results , thanx alot
Maybe I'm a bit surprised that Elephant's Memory is mostly forgotten now, but it probably takes a dedicated Lennon fan to be aware of them. They were even mentioned by name on the front cover of 'Some Time in NYC'. I had a copy of the '72 EM album produced by Lennon that I found in a comic book store for 99 cents. Although Lennon also played on the album, it certainly wasn't great music...I considered it more of a novelty than anything else, just another Apple label LP for my collection.
have you ever checked out Lobby Loyde From Australia. His band the coloured balls are great. Also check out the 1970s Billy thorpe and the aztecs. There live album live at sunbury is wild. Keep up the great work mate cheers
@@brucefranklin6295 um, this was released after being dropped by London Records. They had little say in how it was. Struck Down rocked, tho. Heck, local radio (KSAN) played ads for it. I already had my copy.
@@vmat1000 I bought it when it came out because I liked the first album, but Struck Down was even better. I heard that London was folding as a label and Struck Down was one of the last albums the label released.
@@brucefranklin6295 Thanks for the reply, Bruce. Yesterday And Today were life changing. Should have saw them at Terra Nova HS in '73 for a Halloween dance. Didn't go but was told it was like a small Winterland. Saw them there and The Old Waldorf. Guitar playing bud turned me onto the ST. Life altering.
Pete, are you familiar with Capability Brown? I slightly prefer the album Voice over From Scratch, but if you've not checked them out, as a Gentle Giant fan you will probably dig the side long epic from Voice entitled Circumstances. The other side is more straight forward rock but includes a cover of Midnight Cruiser by Steely Dan. Cant be all bad. Enjoy!
oktober equs from greece...if with jerry goodman...ethos ardour.....captain beyond ??? also stomu yamashta with stevie winwood...detective....backstreet crawler...so much great stuff...lee michaels...
Pete, what do you and your Hudson Valley Squares think of BLACK MOUNTAIN? Geez, I luv that band, one of the few post-post classic hard rock bands that got it - plus, the chick singers, man, and the album covers - are you kidding me?!! Total retro awesomeness...just sayin. By the way, your channel is the shizzle...
A band that fits in this category for me is a Swedish band called "Blakulla". Kind of heavy, great chord progressions, one album in 1975. You probably know of them, if not, they're worth checking out. www.progarchives.com/artist.asp?id=1031
One more great,,,🎶
Thanks...
So glad you mentioned Ruphus.
There was some real good Norwegian prog bands in the 70s Popol vuh/Popol ace is another one.
Frank Zappa wanted them on his label and the singer Jan Teigen was a hot candidate to join Genesis aften Gabriel left.
There is some new Bands as well.
Leprous is a fantastic metal prog Band.
Y&T! Hard touring band! We get to see them at least every two years here in Belgium. I said 'Belgium', yes indeed! 😋
Yay. Y & T, seen em three times. Groovy.
Hitchhiker’s Guide to The Galaxy.
I never thought I would hear "Billy Joel" and "blast beats" in the same sentence LOL
Its just wrong! on every level, lol
Thanks Pete for covering a San Francisco Bay Area band, Y & T. A terrific rock band, like UFO, a very underrated band that should have been huge.

Stumbled on this channel and I love it! Being a prog rock connoisseur I love hearing about these bands like Ruphus
Thank you for sharing so many awesome gems! I've taken note of a few that sound right up my alley and will be on the hunt!
Definitely on the hunt for Stark Naked. I always learn a lot about cool bands from this channel.
Thanks Pete, some good stuff in there!!!
There is a German band called “My Ship”. Only one record. They’re outrageous. My ex girlfriend had that vinyl and I’ve been hunting for it for two decades until I found it in a downloadable form. Can’t recommend enough - what a banger.
Love these videos Pete, finding anything rare is a thrill!
You are so underrated, wish young people my age would get in to great music and watch more youtubers like you !
Loved this video. Very cool. Very helpful.
Pete, ever heard of a band called Pagans Mind? A prog metal band from Norway. I think they're great! Great riffs, leads and vocals! Very Deep Purple sounding band!
Great show Pete. Will be checking a lot of this stuff out...I highly recommend the band Clockhammer. 92 release Klinefelter
Very interesting!
Pete you must be my long lost brother. We are so in touch with a lot of the same bands here.
Great video this and the top ten Pink Floyd were the best of the month!

The 1st two Yesterday and Today albums have some scaled ape riffs on em'! Thanks for tips, haven't heard the Stark Naked or Emergency stuff...need more cds like a hole in the head but will hunt em' down anyway.
Great show Pete, as usual. Thanks for all you do! I know you are a Hammond lover, have you listened to the band Bla Lotus. Monster keys from this new band! Anyway, keep up the good work!

Of topic, Pete! What do you think of Ten Years After! Great band in my book!
Should look for the 2 albums from the band Dust... Kenny Aaronson, Richie Wise, and Marc (Marky Ramone) Bell...killer stuff!
Amazing stuff as always!
Ruphus,Salem Mass!
Those Gift albums are essential.
Pete. Do you know Trettioåriga Kriget from Sweden?
First 2 albums are not from this world.
Greetings from Finland!!!
Yes, I do!
I really like Trettioåriga Kriget's later release from 2003 "Elden Av Ar" too.
In the UK the only live Max Webster was on one side of the album 'Magnetic Air', 5 tracks on the other side are studio tracks from the previous/first two albums, this was released as an introduction of MW to the UK after touring with Rush (where I saw them).

When Yesterday and Today first came out they were touted as the new Beatles which was usually a kiss of death but they got around it
I saw Max Webster open up for Rush in 1977 at the Mid Hudson Civic center in Poughkeepsie

Crack The Sky...a very talented very overlooked band
Greatest Show on Earth. and Satin Whale...up there in this genre. Not forgetting Fuzzy Duck....
Greatest Show on Earth and Fuzzy Duck were great-discussed those on a previous show. Never listened to Satin Whale.
Y and t earthshaker great album.
again you mention The Great Tony Williams，he was and still is a great inspiration for many drummers，his style was unique..... a great inventor
Believe It.

I'd like to recommend Lucifer's Friend self-titled album, Sir Lord Baltimore's Kingdom Come & Hard Stuff's Bulletproof.
I love the start of bulletproof but i never make it all the way through
Got all those👍
I would like to mention Jade Warrior-Last Autumn's Dream, Twelve Dreams of Dr Sardonlcus by Spirit, and two obscure British bands, Clear Blue Sky and May Blitz.Red Sea the second album by Warhorse is a solid album.
Dude so many people shit on attila but I adore that album! Not sure if you ever gave Poohbah a mention but "let me it" ripppps soo hard
Pete, have you ever heard of Dust from New York? Early 70's band and heavy for it's time. They had 2 albums, Dust (1970) and Hard Attack (1971). Their drummer was none other than March Bell (aka Marky Ramone).
Wow...I thought I was the only one....I have both those lp's...would love to have them on cd... rock on!
Yep, have both of their releases, and discussed them on one of the Best Hard Rock Albums of the 70s - the Underground shows

Hey Pete, check out Thundermug, Warpig, Hammersmith, A Foot In Coldwater and Leggatt. Tasty music from 🇨🇦 Canada. Enjoy!
I listen to alot of black metal but for hard rock/heavy metal from 2019 I like Magic Circle - Departed Souls and Demon Head - Hellfire Ocean Void.
Ruphus were great, so was Popul Vuh/Popul Ace and Aunt Mary! both bands from Norway and Titanic...
I had that Atilla cassette
Pete, you know, besides early Guru Guru, i'd say the heaviest krautrock album ever is Silberbart's sole LP. in fact, one of the weirdest and heaviest heavy psych albums EVER. kinda like Blue Cheer, early Sabbath, heavy Hendrix, early Guru Guru, weird Can... on acid, mushrooms, peyote, and DMT, with a dash of hash and a couple of whisky shots... just insane, i mean it. contender to Randy Holden's 'Population ii' project. i mean, really, if you out-Sabbath Sabbath and out-Guru Guru's debut LP, you're onto something. more than recommended.
Wow, the second Y&T cover album looks like Raven's album All for One ;)
Pete, are you aware of 'Hands', a prog band from the U.S.? I only heard of them last year. Pretty interesting.
Yep, been listening to them for many years. Check out the Top Prog Albums of the '70s series here...I discussed them on one of them.
@@seaoftranquilityprog Cool. I'm fairly new to the channel, and getting caught up on things. Really enjoy what I've watched so far. Except for the heavier metal stuff, we have amazing similar tastes in music.

Yep, I have most of the Man releases on CD. The other band you mentioned was Reckless. Do a google search, you'll find that compilation.

Thanx pete so much - been trying to track down that compilation for years - everyone i asked, before you was left scratching there head lol - you truly know your stuff , brilliant - did seachin for a dream ever come out out as a single - also apologies over doubting you over the man cds LOL - of course you would have such cool stuff - man are so underrated /unknown to many, they were equally as good as their peer hawkwind etc - they shoulda been bigger - the musianship in the band was xlnt
@@seaoftranquilityprog thanx for sending the link to discogs pete, ordered already lol while eating breakfast - i entered a couple of searches into discogs in the past - but forgot the album title is mispelled with a k - i always spelled it with a c - which rendered no results , thanx alot
Maybe I'm a bit surprised that Elephant's Memory is mostly forgotten now, but it probably takes a dedicated Lennon fan to be aware of them. They were even mentioned by name on the front cover of 'Some Time in NYC'. I had a copy of the '72 EM album produced by Lennon that I found in a comic book store for 99 cents. Although Lennon also played on the album, it certainly wasn't great music...I considered it more of a novelty than anything else, just another Apple label LP for my collection.
have you ever checked out Lobby Loyde From Australia. His band the coloured balls are great. Also check out the 1970s Billy thorpe and the aztecs. There live album live at sunbury is wild. Keep up the great work mate cheers
All of the Y&T 80's albums are rock solid (pun intended).
I prefer the '70s but great just the same.
@@vmat1000 Yep.Struck Down album was the coolest thing they ever did.Meniketti and Haze were a couple of really talented guys.
@@brucefranklin6295
um, this was released after being dropped by London Records. They had little say in how it was. Struck Down rocked, tho.
Heck, local radio (KSAN) played ads for it.
I already had my copy.
@@vmat1000 I bought it when it came out because I liked the first album, but Struck Down was even better. I heard that London was folding as a label and Struck Down was one of the last albums the label released.
@@brucefranklin6295 Thanks for the reply, Bruce.
Yesterday And Today were life changing.
Should have saw them at Terra Nova HS in '73 for a Halloween dance. Didn't go but was told it was like a small Winterland. Saw them there and The Old Waldorf.
Guitar playing bud turned me onto the ST.
Life altering.
Hi Pete love your show..The band DRUID: 2 albums only.early 70s..sound like early YES..check them out..
Pete do you know the album nova syntesa by modry efekt?
If you know them what do you think?
i love Attila and most billy joel alot
Pete you should check out Canadian band Warpig and their only release,self titled debut from 1970.Pretty heavy for the time.
Yep, got it!
Pete, ya gotta checkout Whisky Meyers. you are gonna love em
Yep, I've heard them!
You ought to check out Spooky Tooth if you haven’t already I dug the hell out of their first 3 albums
HEY PETE! CHECK OUT LEE MICHAELS BAND @1970.HAMMOND DRUMS DUO.
Hey Pete, do you know the album by 'Leslie's Motel' called 'Dirty Sheets'? Check it out and tell me what you think. Really cool.
Norwegian prog: Popul Vuh/Popul Ace.
Hey Pete ever heard of a band called Inch?
Pete, are you familiar with Capability Brown? I slightly prefer the album Voice over From Scratch, but if you've not checked them out, as a Gentle Giant fan you will probably dig the side long epic from Voice entitled Circumstances. The other side is more straight forward rock but includes a cover of Midnight Cruiser by Steely Dan. Cant be all bad. Enjoy!
Billy Joel was also an early member of Dick Wagner's URSA MAJOR...weird! Read about it in Dick Wagner's book.
you got some real oddball stuff
Maybe you could a top ten list of the best Beatle albums, I always liked 33 & 1/3 by George.
For the uninitiated, check out Marcus King Guitar Slayer 'here'. its pretty good ;)
Hey Pete -when you doing the top ten Genesis albums (or a favorite list?)
oktober equs from greece...if with jerry goodman...ethos ardour.....captain beyond ??? also stomu yamashta with stevie winwood...detective....backstreet crawler...so much great stuff...lee michaels...
Touch (self-titled). Released in 1969. Possibly the greatest progressive rock album/band of all time.
I had a cassette of Attila. Wasn’t real crazy about most of it. There were a few tracks I liked though.
the groundhogs
You guys know the keef Hartley band. Its basicly Chicago
Marillion’s Marbles is an excellent prog album
Pete, what do you and your Hudson Valley Squares think of BLACK MOUNTAIN? Geez, I luv that band, one of the few post-post classic hard rock bands that got it - plus, the chick singers, man, and the album covers - are you kidding me?!! Total retro awesomeness...just sayin. By the way, your channel is the shizzle...
groovy pete
A band that fits in this category for me is a Swedish band called "Blakulla". Kind of heavy, great chord progressions, one album in 1975. You probably know of them, if not, they're worth checking out. www.progarchives.com/artist.asp?id=1031
