I also tend to neglect the 1970s for a lot of harder rock and heavy metal music. I'm really into 60s psych/garage and then I have a lot of 80s metal, mostly thrash, and so the 70s often doesnt receive as much attention as it probably should.

That's a huge gap in your listening to avoid the bulk of a decade, especially since most of the stuff that you love in the 1980s would've been hugely influenced by most of these albums in the 1970s. Get listening my friend

If were talking underrated mid 70s rock they're practically the poster boys for it.

Well they're not in my initial top 10 for sure, but I could do a feature to bulk out the year, which kind of interests me with Starz. I don't think they're underrated at all, as they weren't that good anyway musically, they had some good and catchy songs and were certainly loud when they wanted to be. Their big problem was that they came out a few years too early, had they come out a few years later, they would've caught the glam metal boom. I guess they weren't as lucky as Quiet Riot who were around at the same time.
