Attention: Please take a moment to consider our terms and conditions before posting.

Bands that you would recommend. That aren't that well known now.

Although in their day might have been very well known, or not. But largely forgotten now. It's up to you. It's not a competition - just a way to get more good music in your life.

So I give to you;

If

May Blitz

The New Riders of the Purple Sage

Redbone

I have more but I'll leave it at that. I'm in the Bugle listening to If right now.

    Not forgotten so much as up & coming. Wolf Alice. Got some poppy singles that a few will have heard, but their real gems are in the album tracks.
