Poco was a pretty good yacht rock band. Who can forget the beautiful harmonies of "Crazy Love" or that slide guitar on "Heart Of The Night". If you really want to know of an underrated band, how about Boston...I guess it's been such a long time.
35% UFO is one of the most underrated bands ever in the hard rock category. Their late 70's - 80's albums were outstanding.
74%. Rainbow= who?, Are you kidding me. Ritchie Blackmore was a premier Guitarist!.
The people who did not know Rainbow and Montrose must be living in a cave somewhere. Rainbow with Richie Blackmore and Ronnie James Dio. Montrose was Sammy Hagars first band.
I've seen 9 of these groups in concerts. I'm old and have been to a ton of concerts!
59% similar... probably because many people who'd never heard of a particular band like Montrose or Little Feat chose "Who?"... That's understandable,m especially if they were either not of that generation or not into the bands of the 1970s.
It would be like me giving a overrated/underrated/who? quiz on Sun Records rockabilly music. You might know Elvis or Jerry Lee Lewis, but perhaps Sonny Burgess, Billy Lee Riley, Carl Mann or Charlie Feathers might rate a "Who?" as well...
