Today we celebrate the runner-ups, the second division. Led Zeppelin, The Stones, The Who... they were the juggernauts. They reaped the fruits of their (and others...) hard work.
The artists on the playlist, not so much. Some did manage to carve out a nice niche for themselves,. Some even found success in other bands. But others found themselves slumming it in bowling alleys before throwing in the towel. And it's a shame, because some of those second or third-tier bands were real trailblazers. But how do you compete against Deep Purple or The Eagles?
Hard Rock, Pop Rock, Prog Rock, Psych Rock, Kraut Rock, Funk Rock... This playlist is very long and sings the praises of unheralded, underrated or forgotten heroes of rock music's greatest era. Enjoy and share!
