Since I last posted on this thread, I’ve been trying to recall the name of the prog-rock band from the late 70’s who I think was much underrated and never got the attention they deserved. I finely remembered.
Crack The Sky
They got a lot of airplay locally in Baltimore (on 98 Rock) where they were very popular but they never seemed to break though despite touring and opening for bands like Styx, Supertramp, Rush, Foreigner, Electric Light Orchestra, Yes, ZZ Top, Kansas, Edgar Winter, Frank Zappa, and Boston.
The band sort of reminds me a bit of a mixture of Frank Zappa and Rush and The Alan Parsons Project.

I met their lead singer once, John Palumbo back in the late 80’s but I didn’t know who he was, I didn’t recognize him. I was between jobs at the time and was working with my dad and my brother on a bathroom and kitchen renovation project in Towson, MD.
I had the job of scraping off the several layers of old linoleum flooring in the bathroom – and oh, what fun job that was s/
The owner came home and walked into the bathroom where I was on my hands and knees scraping up the old flooring and seeing that I was hot and sweating, he introduced himself as John and offered to get me a cold soda.
My dad, who was in no way a fan of rock music, came in later and said, “Do you know who that was? That’s John Palumbo - he’s a famous musician with the band Crack The Sky.”
“Really dad? You know about Crack the Sky?” “No” he said, “Not really, but the other day when I was here working he was playing on his piano and he’s really talented, plus he’s a nice guy and he pays me on time and in cash - I just thought you would want to know.”

Little Feat underrated????
I guess you didn't hear about Led Zepplin getting kicked out of a hotel during their first US tour for playing Little Feat albums too loud,and Jimmy Page saying they were his favorite group?
I should clarify. Their fellow musicians and music lovers recognized how very good (the original) Little Feat was and the musical genius of Lowell George, but they didn’t get as much commercial success as they deserved.
http://www.cbsnews.com/news/little-feat-gets-recognized-in-new-book/
Ironically, George’s untimely death at age 34 and just after the band had disbanded, probably made them more popular than they would have been otherwise.
I think part of the problem was that Little Feat was hard to peg. While they were sometimes considered to be in the “Southern Rock” category, they were not as much Southern Rock as other bands of the time like Lynyrd Skynyrd and the Allman Brothers as they also incorporated a lot of funk, R&B, New Orleans and jazz influences along with using the Tower of Power horns, which made them not get as much airplay on rock stations (album rock) at the time.
But “Waiting For Columbus” is considered to be among the top 10 live albums of all time and deservedly so.
-
Ok,New Riders of the Purple Sage never got all the credit they deserved,IMHO.
Count me a big fan of "NERPS", as the old gang used to call them. I was just listening to "Lonesome LA Cowboy" last week at the Jersey shore. I played the "Who Are Those Guys" record 'til the grooves wore white. Remember their take on Loudon Wainwright's "Swimming Song"? I guess I think of them as the world's best beach 'n beer music band.

I agree with all you wrote,but would add that they absolutely sucked in concert. I went to see them 3 times and they were horrible each time. Mostly because George was so high he couldn't sing,but one time the band was so high I couldn't even recognize the songs they were trying to play.
I had bought tickets to see them the 4th time,but George OD'd and died a week before the concert.
Damn shame. The man was a musical genius and nobody could touch him when he was straight,either vocally or when it came to writing and performing. He could even do the simple stuff so good it was shocking,like "I'm Willing",and the song below from Dixie Chicken.

I knew last year on America has talent that the chick that opened with Roy Orbinsons "Blue Bayou" and absolutely nailed it,and then followed up with Prine's/Raitt's "Angel from Montgomery" was going to win it because she absolutely nailed that one,too.

@Jazzhead
Bacl in the early 70's there used to be a band that did the college tour in the south named Sutters Gold Street Band,and not only could they tear up the Neil Young covers,but they could also tear up New Riders. Me and a few of my friends would bring our long hair and beards to the local college town every time they would show up,and take up a table right in front of the stage. We were usually powered by white whiskey in gallon milk jugs when we went there,and we were known to share some of it with the band during intermission. They would dedicate "Up Against the Wall Redneck Mothers" to "those long-haired hippies sitting at the table in front of the stage" just before they played it. By then the local rednecks knew enough to get REAL quiet and back up against the wall when they played it. I once knocked a guy out for standing where I wanted to dance when they were playing Orange Blossom Special. The funny part I didn't even know about until the next day. I didn't even remember hitting him,never mind the rest of the stuff. Seems like he got back up his feet and couldn't remember who had hit him until my drunken friends standing up on the table that had poured a pitcher of beer on him pointed me out. By then I was dancing and had forgotten all about him,and he kept trying to hit me in the back of the head,and every time he would swing I would be bobbing around dancing,and he would miss. After he missed with a couple of punches my ex-old lady spotted what he was doing,and jumped between us and put up her fists to fight him. About the time he drew back his arm to hit her,two of the guys that had poured the beer on him and had been laughing at him trying to punch me grabbed him by both elbows,picked him up,and took him outside to explain to him that he did NOT want to punch THAT woman no matter how much he thought he did.
The ex make me pay for that the next day. As well as several days afterwards.
Ahhhh,the rowdy days of youth! How I miss them!

In April 2002, they openind the Hobby Center in Houston.
It was Lyle Lovett, Joe Ely John Hiatt, and Guy Clark, all on acoustic guitars.
Before the night was over, each one played on of there favorite John Prine songs.
It was great.
Not unlike one of their songs, we drove my wife's car until the engine died, right when we parked, and had it towed home after the show.
I opened the hood and saw oil everywhere. Not good.
I asked my wife when was the last time she had changed the oil, and ever since then, I've been in charge of that.
Should have been all along, to be honest.
We had a great time anyway, and just let that deal slide off like water on a duck's back.
No sense in spoiling a great night.

Wow. Respect for the folks here. This is revealing actually.
And Deep Purple is hardly an underrated band, they certainly have their fans who praise them, say the Amazon Rock forums if those still exist. Some folks really talk them up.

All of that album is good.

I second that. Rory Gallagher was great.
Do you know how he died? Interesting story.

They were really good. If you ever find a copy of their album "Nervous Night" , get it. Two best songs- "And we danced"' and "All you Zombies".
