Dawg, I like your list and the others that have been thrown on since your list....all are good....though I'm disappointed you spelled Lynyrd Skynyrd the way you did.....:eek:

I'd like to add a group that gets forgotten often, but I think they were a great rock group....they didn't play around...they rocked hard....they are....

Head East.....click below for a sample of their wares...

Back in 1974a friend of mine asked if I wanted to go to Liberty Hall as a belated 22nd birthday celebration. I said, "Who's playing?" My friend said, "A guy named Bruce Springsteen." I said, "Bruce who???" I went anyway, and am I glad. Sitting in the front row of the balcony drinking a Lone Star or two. What a night. :Music

Speaking of Lynyrd Skynyrd, my brother in law went to school with the Van Zants in Jacksonville. I even met the real Leonard Skinner, the PE Teacher from Lee ... he actually got to be fond of having his "name" so well known. It would have been something to see that group had Ronnie VZ not been killed in the plane crash.

I thought of a few others:

how about Cream and Mountain (both when they had Felix Pappalardi), Uriah Heep, and of course in keeping with my southern roots: The Marshall Tucker Band (from the Spartanburg area of South Carolina).

I thought Cream and Mountain were late 60's bands?

I think everyone has done a good job in this thread.

While Cream broke up before 1969, some of their biggest success in the US was when their live albums were released in 1970. I still remember that being one of the albums I had in my time in the dorm (damn that was a long time ago). Mountain did not start up until 1969 and all of their big years were in the 70s. Several of the bands mentioned in the thread started in the 60s so I thought these were applicable. Great memories.. thanks for the thread.

I guess you're right. Grand Funk Railroad was certainly one of those late 60's bands that carried over into the 70's.
