Someone turned me on to Spirit's 1970 album Twelve Dreams of Dr. Sadonicus today. It's a goofy trip, and all over the place. Bluesy, folky, proggy, theatrical, and with some real pre-Van Halen guitar heroics. It's not an awesome album, but there's something oddly compelling about it.

There are probably a thousand albums just like it.

Any other undiscovered gems from this era you guys enjoy? I mean real deep digging stuff, not like Spencer/Kirwan Fleetwood Mac or Fairport Convention. But I guess that'd be fine too.

Basically anything other than Zep, Doors, Beatles, Floyd, and all the other classic rock stuff that saw a big resurgence in the 90s.

like a moth to the flame, I knew knee tunes would answer the call...

These guys rule

I used to smoke a THC strain that I think was maybe named after this band

Ride captain ride rules

Blue Oyster Cult's first album.

What if I told you they don’t have a first album?

Trag you should add “resurrected” to the thread title. Because these bands are being resurrected here. Here in this thread. Is where they’re being resurrected.

That doesn’t even make sense.

Where does it say they died? Would “rescued” or “rediscovered” perhaps be more appropriate?

Actually they have two first albums. The real first album didn't come out until much later. It's fucking awesome.

See, wease!???!!?!!

Would Big Star qualify? I really like some of their stuff

Keep em coming guys. I’m falling behind today but will check this stuff out this weekend.

Can't go wrong with some Montrose

In case ya'll actually did lose and forget about Big Star
