Pre-1984 era Whitesnake pretty underrated in the USA?

In the period 1978-1982 Whitesnake were a very good band with Jon Lord on keyboards, guitar duo Moody/Mardsen and Ian Paice on drums. Their run of albums from Trouble to Saint & Sinners including a live album Live...In the Heart of the City were very popular among British and European rock fans, while in the USA these albums didn't have any success. Whitesnake started to gain success there in 1984 with the album Slide it in and later reached the commercial peak with S/T or 1987 album, when they became a commercial hair band.

Your opinions? Are you familiar with early Whitesnake?
