The purpose of the thread is to talk about band from the period of 1960's-1980's that are pretty interesting but not widely known to a large group of people. Please, don't talk about Led Zeppelin, Pink Floyd, Black Sabbath, Deep Purple etc. band that people already know. I look for such bands myself and I'd love to find some real gems.
I'll start the thread with
Gentle Giant
"In a glass house"

I have to admit I've heard about the band after The Mars Volta's released cover of their song "Memories". The band in it's beginnings was a kind of proto-death from above 1979, as there were only two members - a drummer/percusionist and a bass/keys player.
^ both really good albums.
yeaaah this is my kind of thread. When i get my internet turned back on at my house ill upload abunch of stuff.
