   Use this thread to talk about LOST ROCK CLASSICS 

of the 1970's!

Ill start  

TRAPEZE - MEDUSA

With everyone in the world even today having Black 

Sabbath's Paranoid, Alice Cooper's Billion Dollar 

Babies, Deep Purple's Machine Head and Led 

Zeppelin's IV in their collections. Trapeze - Medusa 

is grossly underrated and could become extinct in 

the next generation. A CLASSIC!  

JOHNNY WINTER - STILL ALIVE AND WELL

With no Johnny Winter blues rock there would have 

been no STEVIE RAY VAUGHN! After Janis, Jim and 

Jimi died Johnny comes out with a bold statement 

that could be lost in the future! A CLASSIC!  

Your turn

	Great thread! Cactus- CACTUS: This seems like one of the heaviest rock albums ever made in the 70s- the riffs are really sludgy and the vocals are terrifically rough! Montrose- MONTROSE: This album's influence has been underplayed for some time, as it defined the new style of metal- shorter, hook based songs to go along with the usual musical bombast of metal. A huge influence on Van Halen, to name but one band. Atomic Rooster- DEATH WALKS BEHIND YOU: A great excursion with macabre lyrics, masses of solos and bluesy vocals. An influence on the death metal genre. Rory Gallagher- pretty much anything, but IRISH TOUR '74 is one of the great live albums from one of the finest blues guitarists ever. Far better than most of Clapton's solo work in my opinion! Robin Trower- BRIDGE OF SIGHS: some truly awesome,Hendrix derived riffing with incredible blues/soul vocals by the late great Jim Dewar. A classic. Pink Fairies- NEVER NEVER LAND: a space rock classic to rival Hawkwind at their best. Grand Funk Railroad- LIVE ALBUM: a really raw and heavy rock live album. Mountain- TWIN PEAKS: same as above. Toe Fat- TOE FAT: grungy riffs, bluesy vocals- top stuff! Leafhound- GROWERS OF MUSHROOM: one of the rarest albums of the 70s, but one hell of an album- riffs aplenty!

	Didn't Purple's Glenn Hughes come from Trapeze? I've only heard one of their songs on a compilation. Montrose - great first album, possibly the worst album cover of all time. Rory Gallagher - saw him at Hammersmith Odeon. Great stuff. Robin Trower - yeah, Bridge of Sighs is great. Mountain - some good stuff. However the great lost rock classic of the 1970s is LONE STAR.

	Some real obscurities there Glass House. I have another superb album- 'Stray' by Stray, which is an absolutely incredible album as it mingles prog with seriously heavy rock. Sadly, most of their other work is humdrum in comparison.

	"Love It to Death" by Alice Copper: Not prog, but great rock

	Jefferson Starship: Freedom At Point Zero...
	Music has always been a matter of energy to me. On some nights I believe that a car with the needle on empty can run 50 more miles if you have the right music very loud on the radio. Hunter S Thompson

	I've been very disapointed by the few i know from Jefferson Starship, but maybe this one is good. It's like Hot tuna, compared to the Dead.

	Do you think about classic rock or prog or psyche?

	I think about two rock songs: "Cowgirl in the sand" from Neil Young and "Fly tommorow" by John Mayall. Two gems, both with fantastic guitar.

	Lest we forget 'Spooky Tooth'... Great blues rock band with growling Hammond (despite the fact their last guitarist left to form Foreigner... )
	Jon Lord 1941 - 2012

	As much as I love Spooky Tooth's albums, I think their best work was in the '60s. However, I like all of their work- 'The Mirror' is a great album! I also like Savoy Brown's 'Street Corner Talking' a great deal as well.
