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


Have been a fan of hard rock/metal since high school. Always liked the heavy/physcadelic bands equally to the metal bands I grew up with Ozzy-Maiden and Scorpions ect. Recently on Youtube I discovered some heavy/physcadelic bands I was unaware of. 13th Floor Elevators-Five Day Rain-Probe Direction-The Hook and Vahalla. Are these bands albums worth persuing? Feel free to mention any other band that deserves to be heard. Look forward to your responses.

@goofyfoot  - I only have the first, self-titled album from Patto. It was released in 1970. Good album, great first track - "The Man".

Some of my favorites from the era have already been mentioned, but I'll reiterate...

Patto (first album) The first track "The Man" is golden...

Budgie - "Squawk", "Bandolier" and "If I were Brittania, I'd Waive the Rules" are my favorites.

Crack the Sky - First album - S/T, "Safety in Numbers" and "White Music" - Not as heavy. Prog-ish. Excellent.
