Great bands that never really made it

Going back through my CD collection, seems there are so many great bands that never really made it for some reason or another. Just a few examples of what I have been listening to recently. Really tight bands and some great tunes.

How do you download the videos into the forum?

 

I was gonna include Anvil as a band that didn't really make it. I'm not sure if you'd call them "great" though..lol.

 

People were talking about how amazing anvil is when the movie came out. I think the dust is starting to settle and are realizing the reason 'metal on metal' was never a huge hit was because it was all in all a pretty bad song.

Always liked Anvil. They used to plays the bar circuit up in Albany' date=' NY back in the day. Always put on a great live show.

Another band from Buffalo that toured there constantly was Talas.

This band was big locally, and still get airplay in Baltimore. But they never made it nationally. Too bad. Great musicians and songwriters. Maybe part of the problem is that all their songs are different, and it's hard to catergorize them.

 

Remember this was late 70's and 80s ;)

 

Here's a good one with the "Lola" vibe. You know, girl who's really a guy. Cool jazz/funk jam at the very end.
