Forgotten heavy bands from late 60's to early 70's

@larsman Besides Man and Budgie there was also another Welsh band called Sassafras. They toured extensively in the US and Europe but never made the Big Time. Their Riding High album is on Tidal. Man and Budgie also on Tidal.

Beckett another forgotten band which I saw live backing Slade, remember them?

Beckett only issued one album "Beckett" then disbanded after the lead singer died in a car crash. That is a hard to find album.

Budgie have already been mentioned who were an inspiration for Metallica and who covered two Budgie tracks. They just chose a crap name.

Man another band from Wales the same as Budgie, created many great albums but the best was Maximum Darkness a live album starring John Cipollina from Quicksilver Messenger Service and secondly Live at the Padget Rooms Penarth.

Both albums are total rock icons.

No Roger Dean album covers, are you thinking of Greenslade?

Medicine Head, they released their Dark Side of the Moon album just before Floyd and nearly caused Floyd to change the name.

@larsman Yes I really like them, they released at least six albums I believe.
