  • ...This collection his a few notables in it. Tin House (Floyd Radford later played with Edger Winter) & Captain Beyond (who had a stellar lineup of musicians from previous pro bands Deep Purple & Iron Butterfly) The Capt. was the lp that launched drummer Bobby Caldwell who is today better known for his drum work on Rick Derringer's biggest selling lp "All American Boy"

  • whats song 8 and 1 called?

  • @6TheDark6Matter6 Number 8 is Todd´s Tune with the band Demian, Nr 1 is Frozen over by Captain Beyond.

  • Comment removed

  • Bang

    Bloodrock

    Euclid

    San Francisco's Shiver

    Blue Cheer

  • Great bunch of bands but Captain Beyond is never considered to be "underground" on any list.

    Because of the members and the epic material they produced they

    are considered a Supergroup...................

  • Tin House's self titled album is sooo great.

  • exactly what ive been looking for lately. sir lord baltimore and captain beyond were the only ones i recognized

  • number 8??

  • Good job dude! This video is really interesting.  I hadn't heard anything other than Capt. Beyond and Survivor. Cheers man

  • Underground is right. I never heard of any of this stuff. Is it southern or something? Dutch? Er, I like Alice Cooper better, sorry.

  • how can you find this on cd?

  • Dang, with the exception of Captain Beyond, I hadnt heard any of those. They sounded great though. Thanx for the education.

  • AWESOME

  • Good stuff, makes me wanna grow a moustache. I will definitely check out some of this stuff.

  • Captain Beyond! great top.

  • Dust was badass

  • Very good list i was not framiler with Neil merrywethers kryptonite and i cant make out the first album what is it?

  • Thanks!! Captain Beyond is also #1 for me in the 70's...had Neil Merryweather's Kryptonite, friends had Dust, never heard of the others, but they're great!

  • Fantastic video, man!!! Thankssssss!!!

  • //-thank you for this,man!/

  • Captain Beyond's Sufficiently Breathless is an equally excellent spin

  • I could be wrong, but I recognize DEMIAN as being the members of the former BUBBLE PUPPY, and the song here on this video is also one from the BUBBLE PUPPY "Gathering Of Promises" L.P. They were really something else and are well-known for the song "Hot Smoke And Sassafras"

  • fantastic

  • No Fuzzy Duck? ;)

  • LOL! Captain beyond are not american they were british!! LOL!

  • @superglootheband

    Who says that the are from USA?

  • @bimbo9

    ok, I got it...

  • @superglootheband They were an American band, formed here, Lee & Rhino both had history with Iron butterfly, Bobby Caldwell with johnny winter, etc... Rod the only one originally from the uk.

  • every song on hard attack by dust is a mega jam.

  • Other than captain beyond I've never heard an of this. Excellent upload, Gracias.

  • Ha! I can see now where Jared Hess got some of the inspiration for the movie "Gentlemen Broncos"!! (3:53)

  • Captain Beyond's debut album has got THE finest hard rock album of all time!

  • I don't count l.p.'s that were private pressings of 1000 or less that the bands paid for. There are just to many.......Granicus has to be #1 and you didn't even put them on your list...............You got 1 2 & 3 right but they should be 2 ,3 and 4 .Great list and great music.To me GRANICUS was the best band EVER to Record!

  • @TheJetfighter666

    I agree. do you know can i find any info for the group?

  • @mitsaras1996g13.GRANICUS-Clev­eland Ohio- One studio album. One live Broadcast tape floating around-2010 album Re-mastered with 6 bonus tracks to be released Also-Bang 1st- Jerusalem-Dust -Sir Lord Baltimore- Highway Robbery- Diamond Reo-2 LP..Only{GREAT}-Lucifer's Friend 1st Only- Three Man Army [any] Budgie [first 5 are best]Captain Beyond -tied for best ever in my book] Scorpions[ any w/ ULI Roth- U.F.O any w/ M.Schenker> From 1968 to 2010 I own 6000 albums, Ask me anything about any band!!!

  • Check out Jerusalem, Jericho, May Blitz and Leafhound. You'll love'em if you like this sort of music.

  • I've got Captain Beyond and Dust but somehow missed these others.....

  • Solid list!! Nice work dyvelsten.

    Own all of these except the Help and Tin House releases. Neil Merryweather's "Kryptonite" cd is a personal fave. The track 'Star Rider" is (IMO) one of the very best hard rock tunes of the era.

  • Pls, advise band name under 10! Any info about them?

  • I'm amazed by your list.

    Fantastic bands and songs, most of them I have never hear before, except Sir Lord Baltimore and Captain Beyond that I have known before.

    Thanks a lot!!!

  • Glad to see Tin House on the list. There were a couple of bands on there I haven't heard before. Always good to expand the musical horizons. Thanks!

  • forgottenjams com new music forum, don't let music fade into obscurity.

  • some of the bands i cant even find on cd....

  • of course this is only a matter of taste, and to leave The Doors, Jefferson Airplane etc outside the list was probably not a mistake. you could watch and listen to bands like them all over Youtube, so this list just ignores the hits, as a lot of great music have been sadly overlooked

  • @Epykurus why did you copy another comment ? wtf

  • @axioncable i didn't, it is very possible for two like minds to comment very similarly without precedence.

  • This is the Real Thing.

  • Also could someone please tell me what band and album is #8?

  • @crowbarftw That song is on Bubble Puppy Gathering of promises album. They changed their name from Bubble puppy to Demian. That album also has Hot smoke and sassafrass on it. It's a great album and it's available on cd. Enjoy!

  • smoke and sassafrass it's a masterpiece

  • Id also recommend Armageddon, the hard rock band with Ketih Relf of the Yardbirds, also Sainte Anthonys Fyre and Orange Sunshine. (the previous 2 are from the late 60s though.)

  • i give High Tide-sea shanties an honerable mention(1969). Any one hear euclid-heavy equipment? It will shake the very earth you stand on.

  • @rottfeast Euclid are great... Standing in the Shadows is one of the trippiest songs with a crushing guitar sound.

  • Great stuff! As a guitarist and record collector of hard rock of the 70's, I thought I'd seen and heard it all. However, other than Captain Beyond and Dust, I have never seen or heard of the other eight bands you've presented here. If I haven't heard of them, they must be REALLY underground! I used to scour the used record shops in Hollywood and everywhere and I've NEVER seen some of these---even when they were first released way back when! Thanks again! GREAT STUFF!

  • Thanks

    \m/

  • PLEASEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!

    WHAT IS THE NAME OF THE 8 SONG AND THE BAND?

    Sorry of my english is wrong. I'm Brazillian :P

  • It's Demian

  • The Godz?

  • I nominate Bloodrock "DOA"

  • The only problem is... That's not an album!

  • Ok, how about the album it was on? ;-)

  • BUT... that IS a good nomination!!! Love Bloodrock!!! That tune is off "Bloodrock 2"

    Got the whole album on My Channel... And ALOT more... Bloodrock... Grand Funk Railroad... Armageddon... Ya know!!!

  • sweet, thx....

  • what was the first song called?

  • SRC + Frantic

  • I nominate Ayers Rock/Big Red Rock

  • Decent list.

    Still, find & know Morley Grey.

  • Ramatam is nowhere to be found!

    Features April Lawton, a chick who can outshred Hendrix.

    Accompanied by Iron Butterfly's Mike Pinera and the Hendrix Experience's Mitch Mitchell.

  • Jeromino?

  • My bad, Stray Dog did Worldwinds not Tucky Buzzard.

  • While I don't exactly have the same opinion as you, this has introduced me to so many new, obscure, and interesting bands that are so criminally unnoticed and talented. Thank you for sharing your opinion.

  • Demain/Bubble Puppy is fucking amazing!

    Wow. this is a great top ten.  Well done, sir!

  • thanks for letting me know. some of the best music i have ever heard

  • Totally agree on the Captain Beyond comment Apacheskull. They were awesome. I still search record sales for copies of their albums.

  • Out of this group here,..the best bands out of the group is 1. Captain Beyond (actually their in a league of their own) 2. Dust 3. Bubble Puppy. Ever heard any Fuzzy Duck? They had a good sound.

  • Neil Merryweather,..sounds damn good. I need to pick that one up.

  • MAY BLITZ was a great band of acid-blues jams & strange mellowness, though not fully "underground", being on the Veritgo label (I have 2 or 3 copies of the "swirl" 1st editions...super trippy!!).

  • Those groups must have been WAAY underground, because I was alive back then, but I have never heard of ANY of those bands.

  • Where is the first Stray Dog album??????

    That should #1.... or #2 lowest!

  • Yeah...Bang! were awesome.

  • Where is Bob Welch's power group Paris?

  • Haha as soon as i heard the bass i was hooked.

  • Awsome!! but one band you missed is Bang!

  • fucking sweet thanx

  • Thanks for this, a lot!

  • where´s Grand Funk?

  • UNDERGROUND

  • Ok. Você está certo.

    thanks!

  • I don't agree with this list, but I was a teenager in the mid 80's, here's my fav's that drove my friends nuts! 11. Todd Rundgren Utopia - A Wizard, A true Star 10. sensation Alex Harvey Band - Impossible dream 9. Neil Marryweather - and his space rangers 8. Trapeze - hold on 7. Stray - hearts on fire 6. Stories - about us 5. Strwabs - brunning for you 4. Manfred Man - Nightingales & Bombers 3. Spirit - 12 dreams of Dr. Srdonicus 2. UFO - no heavy petting 1. Pavlov's Dog - Pampered Menail
  • What a great bill this line-up would have made, thanks for the trip down memory lane.

  • thats marky ramone on the dust record

  • no way! nice, gotta love marky ramone

  • That was remarkable! I only knew Dust and Captain Beyond (major fan). Do you know the Florida power trio Bang?

  • All these bands are great. I'm glad to see you put Captain Beyond in there, I love that first album of theirs.

  • poohbah/golden rings

  • Great vid,I have over half those albums!....check out Stray Dog.....esp the self titled 1st album!

  • give em to me

  • nice comp man - havent heard the majority of these bands. so many of them slipped through the net. now we gotta track them down 40 years later! crazy eh? those were the days for sure

  • Captain Beyond is FANTASTIC! Neil Merryweather is great too (and Heavy Cruiser too)

  • Neil Merryweather! Damn I have an album by tucked away in storage that I haven't listened to in years. I can't think of the name of it but it had a cover of a Donovan song that I think was called "Sunshine Superman".

    Captain Beyond definitely deserves #1 status. Anybody ever heard of a band called Tucky Buzzard?

  • @areyoureadyeddy

    SURE POST THE END

    PRODUCED BY THE STONES BILL WYMAN

    ISN'T IT?

  • The Bill Wyman part is right. The album I had was called "All Right On The Night". It had this awesome instrumental song at the end called "Worldwinds". The weird thing is, I'm looking at their discography and they don't mention that song.

  • But where is BOLDER DAMN S/T 1971?

  • your videos rock,,, they all show the roots of obscure psychedelia

  • Have hundreds of vinyls in this vein and am shure that the HELP song is at one of these records. The album from HELP with the cover shown here is not a record I have. Does anyone know if this song is on a compilation? Cant find it currently ;-)

    Btw: missing George Brigman - Jungle Rot; ok, not the place to post my top ten list here.

  • It is included on the compilation album "Endless Journey phase 2".

  • Yeah, that's it, got it in the late 80ies and it was one of the my first, what I name, "real" psychedelic records. Have now most of the original records of the bands included, but not the one of Help.

    Thanx for the info and thanks for putting this song to your top ten list - inbetween paisleys, hunger, c.a. quintet, faine jade at the Psycho sampler I haven't realized the "beauty" of this song the time before.

  • SLB, Captain Beyond and Dust are some of my favorites!

  • Txs...i Love DUST & Captain Beyond!!!

  • why only americans hard rock album ??????

  • Great list. I can't make out who the first group is and the name of the song. I want to buy their album after listening to the song. Thanks for posting!

  • Great list. In one year of being around, this gave me insight to deeper 70s hard rock, and convinced me to buy music from your videos. Thanks

  • WHERE THE FUCK IS THREE MAN ARMY!!!!!

  • They´re in the Four Man Army. I gues that makes them seven.

  • Please,give me the names of the records! Example: 1-Name of the band - Album (year) 2-Name of the band - Album (year) 3-Name of the band - Album (year) 4-...... 5- 6- 7- 8- 9- 10-

  • Comment removed

  • wooooooooo

  • thanx for posting this

    now i know what to dig for my collection..!

  • Comment removed

  • I could add Christie to your list :D

  • Captain Beyond rocks ;D

    There's so few people that have ever heard about it. But almost all other rock albums are new for me in this list 0.o

  • Never heard of any of these, but they all sound good!

  • Cool list.. I learned some new names, so thanks!

  • GREAT TOP 5 ! ALL GREAT  BANDS

  • Great selection I have 5 of those albums already thanks for the new stuff!

  • hey guys stop fighting,this is great stuff,dont care if its british or american its the music that matters.

    you should make another one top 10 with obsure acid-folk privates,very nice job and thank you!

  • Where is Legs Diamond? First three albums are great. American Deep Purple! Also, where is Montrose? Granicus and Detective? Cactus?

    There are some great british bands like Leaf Hound, Armageddon! First album from Lucifers Friend. Toad from Switzerland.....and much much more!

  • I forgot two band like Sabbath...Pentagram and Necromandus! Early doom! Really great!

  • Yeah no SHIT!!!

  • Would someone tell me the name of the bands of these albums?

  • Another cool video. Keep making these.

  • This is the best video I've seen on youtube by far

  • Comment removed

  • Thanks for the education, can't wait to hear these in full

  • Thanks for this! Actually listened to Demian and Dust on underground radio; Heard Captain Beyond through a friend; Only read about Sir Lord Baltimore (BTW, one guy looked like Dave Byron from Uriah Heep, but pry not since they were already formed); Liked Hwy Robbery. Please post harder stuff (Heh-heh!) by Demian if you can!

  • FYI Truuth & Janey were almost signed to BELL records. They did some shows with "MOUNTAIN" Leslie West really liked them. Then along came the disco monster & ruined everything. Its nice to see Billy Janey getting the recognition he deserves. Check out his new CD "WHATS YOUR TRICK" on ROCKADROME records. He still has the skills!!

  • In 1989 I found 23 sealed copies of the Truth & janey lp at a Salvation army store in Des Moines Iowa. I had just started dealing records & bought them for 50cents each on a hunch, The cover was too cool to pass them up. I sold 15 to another dealer for $40 each. I thought I won the lottery. I still have 5 left. What a lucky find!!

  • Congratulations! what a awesome find, I want to buy a copy of it!!!

  • Fuckin` A! Captian Beyond!!!

  • Cactus "Retrictions" (1972) is surely missing on this list!

  • 'Restrictions' is from 1971, as 'One Way Or Another'! Yes, 2 albums in one year!

  • Yes! I agree with Tjube and oclero. Two superp albums from CACTUS in one year! Tracks like "Evil" or "One Way.. Or Another" would surely be qualify for this compilation

  • I wouldn't call this list a TOP 10, more like bargain bin. Captain Beyond definately deserves to be on the top 10. So why aren't the big names on this list? King Crimson would be #1. Some others are ELP and Hawkwind.

  • This is a list of USA underground hardrock albums!, do you really think that King Crimson, ELP and Hawkwind belongs to that category?

  • Captain Beyond is not a USA band.

  • Captain Beyond was of course an American band!, Rhino, Lee Dorman and Bobby Caldwell were all Americans, ex members of Iron Butterfly and Edgar Winter Group, Rod Evans was from England, but the band was based in Los Angeles and their label Capricorn are from Georgia, and I doubt that they toured outside USA at the time.

  • Fronted by a brit. And when Caldwell left he was replaced by Brian Glascock, an other brit.

  • Even if you got an interesting point, I think you are wrong!.

    You dont call a Ronnie James Dio fronted Black Sabbath an American band!, do you? Same thing with Rod Evans!, even if he is British, the band Captain Beyond was from USA.

  • Excuse me, Sufficiently Breathless was

    no flop. Don't you know good tunes when

    you hear them? Not the hard driving sound of CB1st lp. But an excellent record. I thought it was better than Dawn Explosion.

  • No it sucked compared to the first LP. Maybe things sound better if your head is up your ass? Pull it out and give it another listen. Dipshit.

  • I say you suck. I did pull it out and listen to it last nigth. Fact is you don't know music.

    Go from the hard driving 1st Lp to the acoustic work on Sufficiently Breathless.

    You are the only flop around here.

  • I didn't write that dumb ass. But I think he meant pull your head out! Dip shit.

  • You comment and mail show your ignorance. I stand by my comments

    Those were 2 totally different concept

    records. From the hard driving 1st lp to the acoustic sufficiently breathless...

    I love them both. But # 1 is considered

    1 of the best hard rock albums of all time.

  • And what is #2 considered? DF.

  • Nope. Rod is a Brit. That means it's not fully and American band. And put Bloodrock in there next time foo.

  • Hey , dumbass, what part of "underground", don't you understand ? These are "obscure" artist that were riding the progressive wave then and there are some innovations and moments worth recognizing there in and these bands have their merits. I suppose like most herd-members, you only like what can be refered to as, main-stream redundancy.....predictable.

  • You can find all this kind of stuff at the Rockadrome site. Truth and Janey has two cds out of vintage 70s material. There are still some copies of the Survivor CD left too.

  • First album Bloodrock best album Usa heavy hard rock!

  • the singer from the last band sounds exactly like the singer from pentagram, another badass hard rock band. their later albums sucked but their first or second album was good.

  • I have the three Capt. Beyonds, both Dust and both Sir Lord Baltimores...and that's it. My fave cut-out bins were indeed Woolworth's, Sprouse-Reitz, Brown's 5 &10, Kaufhalle, and Newberry's...and later on PayLess Drugs when I moved to a town that only had a PayLess Drugs store..

  • The only band I know is Captain Beyond. Great List though. Those bands really rocked. Did any of them make it.

  • Pretty accurate list, this was fun to watch, thanks for puttin' it together.

  • Do you know anything about a band called ULTRA?

  • That Demian song was done by Bubble Puppy before.Both bands have some of the same members.

  • It would be fine if you could print the names of the band and stuff. What was the first band and album? Help something?

  • Hi! here is the complete tracklist. 10.Help:Do you understand the words 9.Truth & Janey: Down the road 8. Demian:Todds tune 7. Survivor:Breakout 6.Tinhouse: Be good and be kind 5.Merryweather:Givi´n everything we got 4:Highway Robbery:Fifteen 3. Sir lord Baltimore:Kingdom come 2.Dust:Suicide 1:Captain Beyond:Frozen over
  • Excellent, thanks! Went to some stores today but couldn´t find any of these, not too common I guess.

  • I like your obscure list and know most of these. How about "A Euphonias Wail" ?.

  • Great list man!! You have good taste in music.

  • Thanks for posting this. This is exactly my favourite sort of music.

  • Punch-out bin/Goodwill heaven. I seriously love this sh*t!

  • If you think you can find any of these Lp's in a, " punch-out bin/Goodwill" then you must be STONED!!!!!!

    But if you can PLEASE lead me to them!!!!!!!

  • Dude, I've been combing bins like this for fun and profit since the mid-seventies. I've seen most of these albums around (though I actually heard most of those here for the first time). Where do you think this guy foun
