Obscure bands

** Camel. Suzi Quatro, Mother's Finest, Nantucket, Goose Creek Symphony, American Flyer, etc.

Henry Gross- Plug Me Into Something is one of my favorites.

The Dixie Dreggs don't show up much anymore. There are many outlaw country/ alternative country guys popping up.

I grew up with some kids whose uncle owned Beach Club Productions- we listened to many a promo album in the 70's but my 55 year old memory fails me.

I'll check into some of your entries, great thread!

Bdp24,

Great list, thanks for keeping us on the right path!

Arcam, glad you liked it! I have the lp of 'plug me into something'. I passed on an imported CD due to price and kick myself for it. Henry Gross has a website- you may drop him a line. He has other albums but 'plug me in' is my favorite. Good sounding as well in my opinion.

I'd be happy to burn you a copy of the album if I had the setup....

Maybe Henry's website can help.

Best,
gary

Ambrosia is a great band, so is Blackfoot!

New Riders on the Purple Sage, Commander Cody, Toby Beau, Rossington Collins, UFO, Al Stewart, Allan Parsons, Buckingham Nicks, Ozark Mountain Daredevils, Amazing Rhythm Aces. I second Atlanta Rhythm Section. 

Some of those are mainstream to some of but probably not all. 

Reminds of the engineering involved in getting an 8 track to play in the car without dragging. Matchbook folded and lodged under the left side and a gentle twist. And you were set to grab a kiss before the track changed in the middle of a slow song.

Then the Mindblower speakers would kick back in. 

Musk oil, lip gloss, earth shoes, and body shirts. 

Good times.
