@larsman: You may already know, but Man's drummer Terry Williams was later in the UK super-group Rockpile, and is also heard on the late-70/80's solo albums of Rockpile members Dave Edmunds and Nick Lowe. After that he joined Dire Straits, and is now retired. A great drummer.
Forgotten heavy bands from late 60's to early 70's
Have been a fan of hard rock/metal since high school. Always liked the heavy/physcadelic bands equally to the metal bands I grew up with Ozzy-Maiden and Scorpions ect. Recently on Youtube I discovered some heavy/physcadelic bands I was unaware of. 13th Floor Elevators-Five Day Rain-Probe Direction-The Hook and Vahalla. Are these bands albums worth persuing? Feel free to mention any other band that deserves to be heard. Look forward to your responses.

Most bands mentioned are,not metal. Maybe a,precursor in down tuned guitars. with the Sabbath slow dirge and bass heavy sound.
Leaf hound, possibly a steep towards that direction coven (lyrics are amazing, Jinx has the perfect voice for the band. I may be wrong, but if I remember history, didn’t the,first Coven LP predate the,first sabbath,album by weeks??? They have a song titled “Black Sabbath” and early sabbath was known as,”earth”

@arcticdeth This is true, but then metal really came into vogue around mid 70's. Both prog and metal morphed from these earlier bands. |
@bdp24 - Indeed - I'm a big fan of Rockpile and got to see them several times during the 70's - got some cool pictures of Nick, Dave, and Billy, too! I imagine Terry got a bit larger paycheck with Dire Straits than with Man! Got some cool pictures of Man, too; wish I could copy and paste them here.... |
