Yeah, Rolling Stone wasn't kind to them in the early 70s, but they weren't at all "underground" either. They were constantly featured in Circus, Hit Parader, Rock, Groove, etc. magazines, and even in Creem. They were played regularly on all of the big FM album rock stations. And even Rolling Stone warmed up to them by the later 70s/early 80s.
