    Got to meet Trigger back in the day and saw them perform 3 times down at the Jersey shore. Awesome band. Was drinking a beer with the drummer at a club in Long Branch at the shore and asked him why Trigger doesn't go bigger and get promoted more. His response was Casablanca records was investing a lot of money in Kiss and was happy what was going on with Kiss and Trigger was swept under the carpet. Great Band!

    Has the UK band "Little Free Rock - Little Free Rock" been mentioned before? Only one album on Transatlantic Records 1969. A second came much later in 1991 with unpublished songs. "Little Free Rock - Time Is Of No Consequence" on the german World Wide Records. Peter Green (Fleetwood Mac) joined the band for a short period, but the recordings were never released. I saw the band in Hamburg Starclub 1969. A very good power rock trio. I loved it

    Pete, you should check out an AMAZING band that has been around since 1990. They are called "The Tea Party". The lead singer sounds like Jim Morrison and the sound has a very Zeppelin like quality to it. They real know how to rock and best of all, they are a power trio. The vocalist is also the lead singer. They are from Winsdor, Ontario, Canada and have been criminally underrated for almost 30 years now. I advise you check out their first 3 or 4 albums, before checking out their later ones. You'll thank me for it!

    Do you like the supergroup Bands? There is a band that I love called Revolution Saints and it consists of Deen Castronovo on drums and lead vocals, Jack blades from Night Ranger on bass, of course, and the killer guitarist Doug Aldrich from your band that you love Whitesnake among other bands he was in. They are putting out their 3rd album now. They were just in the studio few weeks ago laying down all the tracks. Because of the Dead daisies and some other projects such as Journey Through Time they haven't been able to tour so hopefully we will get a tour of this incredibly awesome band. I would say they're rock, not hard rock, not prog but really melodic. I really would suggest anybody check them out. I love Deeno. I'm a huge Deen Castronovo fan.

There's a couple of more obscure ones like Hammersmith, Reckless and Wireless that put out some good stuff too. Of course I also love bands that made it bigger in the US like Rush, Triumph, BTO, April Wine, Nickelback, Thousand Foot Crutch, The Guess Who and others.

    I'm so glad you mentioned The Aristocrats. They are one of my favorite modern prog/fusion groups to come out more recently. ALL of their albums are fantastic...including the live ones. I'm so sad that I missed them last time they came down here to New Orleans in 2019 to support their "You Know What...?" album. Something came up at the last minute and I had to bail out on going...dammit! Hopefully they will get together again sometime soon to make & play some more amazing music.
    On a related note, you should check out the two Randy McStine & Marco Minnemann albums they put out in 2020 (they are titled "McStine & Minnemann" and "II", respectively). They were both released in 2020 about 5 or 6 months apart. Both are fantastic and, genre-wise, the songs are all over the place, so the albums cannot really be categorized as a whole. They pull bits and pieces from many different genres (especially the more recent album, "II"), but they are both great records that have much to offer to any music lover. Very interesting albums from a well-matched collaboration of 2 great musicians. [...also, I heard it from a little birdie that they may already be working on a third album too.]

    I'd like to add a band that I stumbled upon on UA-cam. If you're a fan of Camel, Yes, Genesis, etc... This is worth a serious listen. The group are called Autumn (not to be confused with a more recent band of the same name). They formed just prior to the punk explosion, so they only managed one mini album; released in 1977/78 entitled 'OCEAN WORLD' The 4 members were Nick Magnus (who went on to work with Steve Hackett on several solo albums) Robbie Dobson ( who was with Nick in the Enid & after Autumn, joined Hawkwind)
    Steve Hoff (who set up his own 24 track studio back in Portsmouth) & Mark Easton (who went on to play in different bands with different styles but always remembering his love of prog). Good luck trying to get the album, I was extremely lucky to find it on Amazon. But (the opening track) Ocean World; Little Finger Exercise & The Celebrated Court Jester are all on jolly You Tube. Hope you enjoy it 😊

    Here are some you probably are NOT aware of that exist (and had some charting success):
    Babe Ruth (fronted by Jennie Haan): Three of this UK prog-rock band's four album charted here in the states including "First Base" (1972,) "Babe Ruth" (1974) and "Stealin' Home" (1975)
    Dragon: Longtime Aussie rock band that began as prog then later in its career branched into new wave; unfortunately, the bands only charting U.S. single was "Rain" (1984,) which hit the lower reaches of the Billboard Hot 100 pop singles chart at #88
    805: Obscure prog-rock (and one-album wonder) band from Syracuse, NY; their only taste of charting success was their Top 40 Album Rock radio hit "Young Boys," which peaked at #37 in the late summer of 1982 (charted for 4 weeks)
    Stiltskin: Obscure Scottish prog-rock band that featured singer Ray Wilson who would briefly replace Phil Collins in Genesis in the late 90's; had one U.S. Album Rock radio hit with "Inside," which topped the UK pop charts in the late spring/early summer of 1994 and peaked at #37 on the Album Rock tracks chart; this band's album
    Symphonic Slam: Obscure Finnish prog-rock band that featured singer Timo Laine; most of this band's success took place in their native Finland and they had some success in Canada (where they relocated,) likewise; known for just one album their 1976 S/T debut which almost cracked the Billboard 200 Album chart largely in part of the attention the singles "Modane Train" and "How Do You Stand?" received from some major Album Rock radio stations back in the day (neither single charted here in the states)
    Dixon House Band: Seattle-based prog-rock band; had only one album "Fighting Alone" in 1979 on the MCA imprint label Infinity Records (East Coast glam rock band New England's eponymous 1979 S/T debut, produced by Paul Stanley, was also on this label); had some success on BOTH the left coast and in the Midwest because of the minor rock radio hit single "Sooner Or Later" (I think the song hit the Top 10 "Bubbling Under" Hot 100 chart, but NOT the actual Hot 100 pop singles chart)
    Boxer: Obscure UK prog rock band fronted by Spooky Tooth singer Mike Patto; had 3 albums on Virgin records in the late 70's; dissolved after Patto's death in 1979; most of the band's success took place in their native UK (NO known success here in the states, though)

    Great stuff you picked there! I'd like to recommend these bands, some of them you may have heard about, but check'em out if you've not heard them. First up is Morningstar - s/t (1978) and their second album Venus (1979). Great band from US with kinda original style, but they had some proggressive elements, and somewhat similar to bands like Boston, Styx and early Journey. Second band is Le Griffe - Breaking Strain (UK, 1984), a really great Hard Rock (NWOBHM) band. Third band I'd recommend is Blue Steele - No More Lonely Night (1979), and they play in the style of southern rock similar to bands like Nantucket, Point Blank and Lynyrd Skynyrd. My forth band of recommendation is the Dutch Heavy Metal band Picture with great albums like Diamond Dreamer (1982) Eternal Dark (1983) and Traitor (1985). They've made about 10 albums and they are still active.The next band is from Germany and played great heavy music with a lot of heavy Hammond organs, and had a lot of similarities with bands like early Eloy, Uriah Heep, Lucifer's Friend and Deep Purple. And played in the genres Kraut Rock, Hard Rock and Prog Rock. They made (I think) only one record called Mournin', the band was called Night Sun. Cheers! / Juha Hietasaari.

    Have you heard "A Life" by Alpha To Omega? If I remember correctly it was a double rock opera released in 1976.

    Hey, Pete. Great job as usual. I have 3 recomendations, all from the 1970-76 era, all British prog, all very good, IMO. I still listen to all these and they still raise the hair on my arms! All are available on UA-cam and CD.
    1. Ross: ST, 1974 and Pit & The Pendulum 1976, 2. Public Foot The Roman: ST, 1973 (sadly, one and done), had a minute of FM play 3. Indian Summer: ST 1971. One and done, sadly.This has the first example of guitar shredding that I know of, by Colin Williams. Great 4-piece. World-Class musicians from Coventry. Keyboardist and singer Bob Jackson went on to play with the aforementioned Ross. Signed by the same mangement group as Black Sabbath.

      The Ross I've heard...love it, but both are sadly long out of print and super expensive for the copies that are floating out there. Never heard the Public Foot the Roman or Indian Summer before, but listening to them here on YT I dig 'em and will probably pick them up! Thanks!

      @@seaoftranquilityprog Great. Glad you like 'em. Another one that I forgot from that period that sticks out is Wolf. You've probably heard of it but just in case. Darryl Way from Curved Air formed it. It's totally nothing like Curved Air. 3 abums, Canis Lupis, 1973; Saturation Point, 1973; Night Music, 1974. World class musicianship and multi-genre styles. Love your channel!

    Well, only Aristocrats I knew was the joke. Soon as you said Marco Minne--'OOOOOOH I'm gonna hunt it down on vinyl!!!!' was out of my mouth. If he's involved, it HAS to be amazing. Because of the joke, Aristocrats stuck out so much (no pun intended), but there's a handful of others (again, no pun intended) I'll watch for while record surfing. (Guess I can add more vinyl references to the joke as well...)
    Thanks for the great suggestions!

    There's a band that came out in 1989 called The Front. They opened for Alice Cooper in 1990. I love their one and only (self titled) album. They did a second album in 1993 under the name Bakers Pink, which is very good too. As The Front they had hints of the Cult, the Doors and Alice Cooper. As Bankers Pink they added a wee bit more blues into their swagger.

    Hi Pete...just a couple of suggestions for the next obscurities list...1) Painter...Canadian band. One release 1974. 2) Paladin - Paladin and Charge!. 1971 & 72 respectively. 3) Gnidrolog - In Spite of Harry's Toe Nail 1972 and Lady Lake 1972 as well. 4) Catapilla - Catapilla & Changes, 1971 & 72 respectively. Kind of off putting female vocals here...Sheeesh! 5) White Witch -- White Witch & A Spiritual Greeting 1972 & 74 respectively. Good stuff. Love your channel & keep rockin!.

    One of my favourite recent finds has been Hard Stuff. Great band from a power trio, John Gustafson (Ian Gillan Band), John Du Cann, and Paul Hammond (Atomic Rooster). Great, great band! Also getting sort of into Fresh Blueberry Pancake (from Philedelphia), and Iron Claw (from Scotland).

    I get the impression you read your youtube comments...
    I just discovered your channel in the last 6 months, and immediately found a personality that seems very familiar.
    I don't know if this is the best forum for sharing this, but...
    I'm almost the same age as you, and I am part of a group of prog fanatics, that are hosting a progressive music festival in Seattle.
    I just wanted to share the name of the festival - Seaprog.
    and invite YOU or any of your viewers to consider a wonderful weekend of cool adventurous music during the very few months of wonderful weather in Seattle.
    Best of Voivod, please...?
