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.
