Fleetwood Mac, Carpenters, Lynyrd Skynyrd, the Sex Pistols, their fame is possibly dimmed, but they're not exactly forgotten. Derek & the Dominos was a special case--more of a side-project for Clapton than anything else, and probably wouldn't have lasted long anyway. Badfinger, The Runaways, Joy Division, the Guess Who, Montrose, the Jam--these are remembered by music aficionados and small, dedicated fandoms. Big Star, Wild Cherry, Television, M, the Sweet, Sha Na Na, the Modern Lovers...now _these_ guys are the Forgotten.
Fleetwood Mac is still around today and still performing. No way are they off the radar. Whoever put this together really needs to do better research. Shame on you. They are still rocking today.
Badfinger's most famous song is probably "Without You" made famous by Nilsson and Mariah Carey. The story of Badfinger is worth video on its own. Non payment of earnings, self inflicted demise, Royalty battles. A very sad story.
Just think. If they hadn't fallen off the radar, Fleetwood Mac might not have recorded one of the best selling albums in music history and toured stadiums for 40 years.
@@markbeames7852 And we played the record on the stereos that was a huge piece of furniture. That's how we rolled. Record player, AM/FM radio and 8-track. ✌️
As an 11 year old in 77 I immediately loved the album Rumors. They not only don’t belong on this list but neither does The Sweet. I still play all the albums from both bands all through the years.
You don’t even bother to mention Sweet’s top ten hits Little Willy, The Ballroom Blitz, Fox on the Run, and Love is Like Oxygen. Most bands would kill to have 4 top ten hits.
The Sweet are not loved, more... adored by their fans, even though three of its members are dead. Their music remains, has influenced other bands and is listened to. They made incredible hits and songs, ranging from glam to hard songs that are still a blast today. I listen to them myself. They live on in the memories of those who lived through those times, big or small, they are not forgotten...what an idiotic list! Eternal love and light for Brian, Mick and Steve...
My first favorite song was Hound dog. My second favorite song and first band I ever loved and still love is The Sweet. I immediately loved Little Willy when I first heard it I believe in 70 or 71. I was born in 66 so it was a long time ago and I was just figuring out what I liked. Funny how I still love them but I have great taste 🤣
@@robert.m4676 It is not at all strange that you still love them: the Sweet are a kind of drug, they develop serious addiction...I was born in 1974...and I'm hopelessly addicted😍. It's just that it's not usually said that when you listen to them for the first time, then you can't do without them for the rest of your life...I tried to quit but never succeeded😂🧁🍭🍬🍦❤️
@@robert.m4676 No, it's not strange at all that you continue to love them...the fact is that you are not told that the Sweet make you develop a serious addiction...you listen to them the first time, then you can't do without them anymore...I was born in 1974 and I'm hopelessly addicted...😍I've tried from time to time to stop, but I've never succeeded. More: hating them is a crime!😂🍦🍭🍰🍬❤️ P.S Brian, Mick and Steve were good and humble people...
Yeah - instead listed some I never heard of, him either apparently, just lifts random songs off albums not knowing he missed the ones that put them on the map, lol.
Nobody forgot THE RUNAWAYS... except the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. Bands break up... but the Runaways live through Joan Jett and Lita Ford. They aren't forgotten. Oh, and the RRHOF inducted the GO GOs, a group that had a dixie cup worth of talent compared to the Runaways. The rest of the list on this list was ridiculous. All of those bands were not forgotten. Obiviously this "compiler" never heard of FM radio in the 70's and AOR. That made memories that made these bands UINFORGETTABLE.
The Rock and Roll Hall of Fame is not an accomplishment that it should be. Winning a Grammy isn’t really an accomplishment either. I don’t like what they like. Who does?
The Sweet are one of my favorite bands ever and they influenced the whole glam scene. This is so inaccurate it's laughable. It's pissing me off! Layla is still played on the radio.
Arbitrarily put together without any expertise. But: Badfinger was always one of my favorite bands. Day after Day, Baby Blue, Sweet Tuesday Morning and many other songs are real masterpieces.
LYNYRD SKYNYRD forgotten, I don’t think so. As one who saw them live in August ‘77 , their tunes are more powerful now to me than then! You dropped the ball on this one. Signed teenager of the 70’s.
Badfinger? The Carpenters? The Sweet (aka Sweet)? The Guess Who? Lynyrd Skynryd? (don't tell anyone here in Jacksonville FL that they are forgotten ... because they're not). Fleetwood Mac? What are you people smoking? You could, I guess, make a case for NRBQ, but I still have all of their albums and their LPs are still being rereleased. But they you forgot (I guess).
Badfinger is a bit forgotten, at least in Vancouver, but I do still hear No Matter What once in a blue moon. Then again, I rarely listen to radio anymore.
Every Montrose, Gamma, and Ronnie Montrose or Sammy Hager albums are worth purchasing and very good. Warner Brothers Presents Montrose is a killer rock album.
The only name i never heard off was Joy Division but clearly remember New Order , Fleetwood Mac, Lynyrd Skynyrd, Guess Who, Sex Pistols, Runaways, Sweet especially are a sacrilege in this list .... and quite a few others.
more great (actually) forgotten bands imo: Ten Years After, Savoy Brown, Medicine Head, The Groundhogs, Sensational Alex Harvey Band, Nazareth, Humble Pie, Spooky Tooth, Freedom, Snafu, Dr Feelgood, Moloch, Mountain, UFO…
Saw Jett on the Warped Tour in 2006 and she sucked big time. Her best song I Love Rock n Roll is a cover, and her new song at the time, AC-DC, is a Sweet cover.
How in the hell do you say that Fleetwood Mac, The Guess Who, The Carpenters, and Lynyrd Skynyrd "have sadly fallen off the radar of time"? Their songs are still popular and played often on the radio to this day...
Funny I haven’t gotten to Lynyrd Skynyrd my co-favorite band alongside The Sweet and The Doors got me to quit watching this stupid video after I saw what you wrote. I got to the guess who before I read what you wrote. I loved all these bands except for a couple so I’ve heard enough to skip the rest. Thank you!
I believe the guess who got their name when they sent blank 45s to the radio stations to play. They didn’t have a name so jokingly they wrote on the 45 sleeves guess who. I guess the name took on a life of its own.
The only groups missing from this list are the Rolling Stones, Led Zeppelin, Pink Floyd, Kiss, the Beach Boys, and the Beatles to make this list the most accurate it could be. Seriously, do your homework! 🐺
How about Dr. Hook & The Medicine Show. Great 1970's band with songs like Sylvia's Mother and Cover of The Rolling Stones. And another great 1970's band is Grand Funk Railroad with one of the greatest songs ever titled Inside Looking Out. They were way ahead of their time.
My only guess about this list is that it’s referring to the new generation who have never heard of these groups. I was born after these bands were long gone, but heard of most and am currently exploring many of these groups. It’s my only explanation as I know most people alive during this era will never forget them, but as time goes by, each generation misses out on these groups as they are seldom heard by them.
I saw King Crimson four years ago. They were amazing. The Progressive Rock community worships KC. Look for the Band "Beat" to tour. Two former King Crimson members, plus Stevie Vai and Tool's drummer Tony Carey. Catch them if you can...it will be incredible.
This has to be American. Joy Division are one of the most influential post punk bands of that era. There are documentaries and movies made about them. How have they fallen off the radar.
@thecuttingroomfloor5817 I've no idea from where this click-baity channel guy hails, But he can take with him my resounding THUMBS DOWN. Not only did he not merit a thumbs up just for producing content that's watchable, he's earned a THUMBS DOWN for producing content that's simply fail. I caught the 1960s vid before I got this one (it was even worse). I thought that perhaps he was dragging the lake to come up with those artists, until I saw that this one was just the same. More amazing artists who, for the most part, saturated the air waves in their day, but who are not popular today. I have had many cars in my 40+ years of driving, but only one bumper sticker -- the "Unknown Pleasures" album art. Yes, Joy Division was something, and still is. Their sound was cutting edge then, and timeless now. Also King Crimson - really? I just have to shake my head at that one, too. This video did not claim to be about musical taste or preference, so I can't give the "subjective" pass here. Sweet? Just - what was this guy thinking? (clicks and views, clicks and views). Enough of my rant. In summary, this video and at least one more from this channel belong -- you guessed it -- on the cutting room floor.
Lynyrd Skynyrd ? Nerver forgotten, never !!! "Sweet home Alabama" and "Free bird" are Songs, wich have to be played on every good party today - Also "the Sweet" - Ballroom Blitz, Teenage Rampage, Love is like oxygene, Fox on the run - still actually
For all the many flaws in this video, it did introduce me to Big Star, a band I had never heard of before. I listened to their first album tonight and really was blown away. So I appreciate that.
Runaways is not forgotten and Sweet is not forgotten even that members are dead - only forgotten bye people with short memory - and Fleetwood Mac is not forgotten at all
Sweet : Little Willy, Fox on the Run, Ballroom Blitz.... Are they really forgotten? I have Little Willy on my computer playlist with 927 songs. Some of these I have never heard of. But the world was absolutely filled with sadness when the Legendary Christine McVie passed on 30 November 2022. What a crappy Christmas season that was. "Songbird" will be a classic forever.
I saw King Crimson's final US tour a few years ago. They packed their venues. They were just as incredible as they were initially, and they continue to inspire bands like Tool in recent decades.
Sha na na’s members were self-employed professionals. Lawyers, doctors and one was a rabbi; they have stayed in those fields. Sadly one member self passed in the mid1970s. Many bands here are forgotten, most are not. Many reformed and play summer tours at casinos.
Fleetwood Mac still managed to come together on and off over the decades since the 70s. They only really disbanded with the death of Christine McVie a couple years ago.
The Fleetwood Mac that fell off the radar was the original band of the 1960s. Way different than the bubblegum music group of the 70s and 80s. They were more rock and blues.
Did you know?? Many members of Montrose went on to regroup under the new title of one of our all-time fav Christmas bands. Trans Siberian Orchestra. I saw both Montrose and TSO at the same
I think its a matter of perspective. For every generation there is music that speaks to those growing up and identify with emotional times. Those songs are a path to recalling those emotions and times. However as the next generation comes around the kids growing up often have a new collection of musicians that are popular and mark their moments with their friends and loved ones. Many of these are still remembered and played by those that grew up with them but today's kids will not grow up hearing them on the radio as we did, or watch the first showing on the then new platform MTV. Certainly there is overlap from parents sharing and playing their love for music with their children, but not always.
I HAVE NOT EVEN HEARD OF MANY OF THESE BANDS. THANKS!! THIS IS GREAT. There are some other interesting details that I was unaware of. That Badfinger worked for the BEATLES' Apple was unknown by me. People who knock this video should get used to browsing many sources and not expecting one source video to fill in all of their own personal knowledge of individual favorite details. The author should not bother to take criticism from others he would not necessarily ask advice from.
I'm sorry to say, but if you haven't heard of most of these bands, Then you did not listen to rock or pop in the 70's. You should research some of them on youtube, because I guarantee you that they will be on here. Your'e missing a lot of GOOD music from the 70's. PEACE and LOVE!!
Thanks for your input. We keep in mind that the person who put this together was making the same point and provided a great source of information on the exact subject. We don't need to double up that point, which IS the point of this video.
Peter Green of original Fleetwood mac, one of Pop and Rock's immortals not even mentioned, Johnny Rotten a genius, never to be forgotten, still around to this day, nobody has ever forgotten Karen Carpenter either - as a singer or a drummer, timeless - Television influenced anyone of worth, The Sweet, great live ,very proficient, but a bit naff, Lalay timeless too, The Jam long gone but Paul Weller still around, a great songwriter as himself and when in the group, being both a rock-great and a soul-boy too, he having released several number ones in a row. Analysis is slightly inaccurate. as most are not forgotten at all but have even become iconic.
I was playing in a racquetball tournament and "Ballroom Blitz" came on the radio. Everyone was staring at the radio. When the song was over my friend said "Who the *#?! was that! DJ told us "The Sweet" I won that tournament with ease.
More nonsense from someone who probably wasn't there. If the runaways were influential how come they are supposedly forgotten?. Fleetwood Mack, Joy Division, Lynyrd Skynyrd, The Carpenters etc forgotten? As for King Crimson, they are still regularly sighted as one of the best prog rock bands of all time. Come on, what planet are you on. I will give you Budgie though, I saw them twice back in the day, every bit as good as some of their peers imo. I guess they just didn't have that killer song to make them a household name.
Not sure I have the same understanding of what "fallen of the radar" means as this channel. Most of the groups on this list are still quite remembered and influential.
This list is the result of someone who thinks he knows a lot about what he is talking about, from what I see for many here, including me, it is pure nonsense so do like me, and go to the menu and check "do not recommend the channel"
How can anyone ever forget Karen Carpenters voice. The Carpenters songs are stilled played on oldies raidio stations. Lynyrd Skynyrd , Fleetwood Mac, Sweet, The Guess Who Derek and the Dominos fronted by Eric Clapton also still played on classic rock stations. Who is the idiot that made this list? Are they living under a rock?
You should rename the title to something like great bands of the past. I really think you’d get a better response from all of us people who love older music and think most of today’s music sucks! Thank you very much your welcome please 👀

Badfinger's most famous song is probably "Without You" made famous by Nilsson and Mariah Carey. The story of Badfinger is worth video on its own. Non payment of earnings, self inflicted demise, Royalty battles.
A very sad story.
And let's not forget that Baby Blue was bastardized in Breaking Bad.
You will be completely forgotten long before most of your list is.

Some of these bands are still played daily on classic rock radio stations. I hear Fleetwood Mac, Sweet. Lynyrd Skynyrd every day.

Timeless
Runaways is not forgotten and Sweet is not forgotten even that members are dead - only forgotten bye people with short memory - and Fleetwood Mac is not forgotten at all
SWEET!!!
Sweet : Little Willy, Fox on the Run, Ballroom Blitz.... Are they really forgotten? I have Little Willy on my computer playlist with 927 songs. Some of these I have never heard of. But the world was absolutely filled with sadness when the Legendary Christine McVie passed on 30 November 2022. What a crappy Christmas season that was. "Songbird" will be a classic forever.
SWEET!!!

@davidbeckenbaugh9598 my ring tone!
@@janyurechko7945 Oh, that's cool....... Are we both in our 60's?
I saw King Crimson's final US tour a few years ago. They packed their venues. They were just as incredible as they were initially, and they continue to inspire bands like Tool in recent decades.
Sha na na’s members were self-employed professionals. Lawyers, doctors and one was a rabbi; they have stayed in those fields. Sadly one member self passed in the mid1970s. Many bands here are forgotten, most are not. Many reformed and play summer tours at casinos.
Fleetwood Mac still managed to come together on and off over the decades since the 70s. They only really disbanded with the death of Christine McVie a couple years ago.
Sensationalist journalism at it's worst
The Beatles produced their albums. The Beatles actually thought highly of the band so much that they actually did background vocals for them.
The Fleetwood Mac that fell off the radar was the original band of the 1960s. Way different than the bubblegum music group of the 70s and 80s. They were more rock and blues.
Slade should be called out more, such a great catalog of hits.
Did you know?? Many members of Montrose went on to regroup under the new title of one of our all-time fav Christmas bands. Trans Siberian Orchestra. I saw both Montrose and TSO at the same
I think its a matter of perspective. For every generation there is music that speaks to those growing up and identify with emotional times. Those songs are a path to recalling those emotions and times. However as the next generation comes around the kids growing up often have a new collection of musicians that are popular and mark their moments with their friends and loved ones. Many of these are still remembered and played by those that grew up with them but today's kids will not grow up hearing them on the radio as we did, or watch the first showing on the then new platform MTV. Certainly there is overlap from parents sharing and playing their love for music with their children, but not always.

That was Sweet in the thumbnail. I didn't watch the video.
SWEET!!!
Interesting to see "television" using the drum kit from Talking Heads 20:39. Nice
The Guess Who should be in the Hall Of Fame 1000%
Fleetwood Mac is NEVER forgotten, and should not be on the list..they had an EXTREME long and successful career
I will never forget Badfinger
Joy Division is heavily popular. My kids are listening to them now.
I HAVE NOT EVEN HEARD OF MANY OF THESE BANDS. THANKS!! THIS IS GREAT.
There are some other interesting details that I was unaware of. That Badfinger worked for the BEATLES' Apple was unknown by me.
People who knock this video should get used to browsing many sources and not expecting one source video to fill in all of their own personal knowledge of individual favorite details.
The author should not bother to take criticism from others he would not necessarily ask advice from.
I'm sorry to say, but if you haven't heard of most of these bands, Then you did not listen to rock or pop in the 70's. You should research some of them on youtube, because I guarantee you that they will be on here. Your'e missing a lot of GOOD music from the 70's. PEACE and LOVE!!
Thanks for your input. We keep in mind that the person who put this together was making the same point and provided a great source of information on the exact subject.
We don't need to double up that point, which IS the point of this video.
Having been born in the 50s, I remember most of these, thanks for posting.👍subbed.👊😎
Peter Green of original Fleetwood mac, one of Pop and Rock's immortals not even mentioned, Johnny Rotten a genius, never to be forgotten, still around to this day, nobody has ever forgotten Karen Carpenter either - as a singer or a drummer, timeless - Television influenced anyone of worth, The Sweet, great live ,very proficient, but a bit naff, Lalay timeless too, The Jam long gone but Paul Weller still around, a great songwriter as himself and when in the group, being both a rock-great and a soul-boy too, he having released several number ones in a row. Analysis is slightly inaccurate. as most are not forgotten at all but have even become iconic.
The Sweet was number one
SWEET!!!
I was playing in a racquetball tournament and "Ballroom Blitz" came on the radio.
Everyone was staring at the radio. When the song was over my friend said "Who
the *#?! was that! DJ told us "The Sweet" I won that tournament with ease.
One minute in and you’ve lost my attention.Bad Finger could be the next “Fab Four”, away with you🙄
should be short lived bands more than forgotten
Let me fix this title for you -- "Bands Considered Rock Pioneers and Gods." There, that should do it. Continue.
This must be a popular channel. TH-cam inserted 10 ads in the first 7 minutes.
Anybody named William has had Sweet lyrics sung to them.
Don't mess with SWEET THEY WERE HELL OF A ROCK AND ROLL BAND THEY WERE ALL VERY TALENTED MUSICIANS
SWEET!!!
Sweet was destroyed by thugs attacking Brian Connolly … can’t believe how he wasn’t supported by his band mares after this horrific attack 😡😡😡
Like damm why dont boys return to those hairstyles, girls loved it
More nonsense from someone who probably wasn't there. If the runaways were influential how come they are supposedly forgotten?. Fleetwood Mack, Joy Division, Lynyrd Skynyrd, The Carpenters etc forgotten? As for King Crimson, they are still regularly sighted as one of the best prog rock bands of all time. Come on, what planet are you on. I will give you Budgie though, I saw them twice back in the day, every bit as good as some of their peers imo. I guess they just didn't have that killer song to make them a household name.
Not sure I have the same understanding of what "fallen of the radar" means as this channel. Most of the groups on this list are still quite remembered and influential.
Blood Sweat and Tears...
This list is the result of someone who thinks he knows a lot about what he is talking about, from what I see for many here, including me, it is pure nonsense so do like me, and go to the menu and check "do not recommend the channel"
The script was these bands Wikipedia pages ... word for word
How can anyone ever forget Karen Carpenters voice. The Carpenters songs are stilled played on oldies raidio stations. Lynyrd Skynyrd , Fleetwood Mac, Sweet, The Guess Who Derek and the Dominos fronted by Eric Clapton also still played on classic rock stations. Who is the idiot that made this list? Are they living under a rock?
You should rename the title to something like great bands of the past. I really think you’d get a better response from all of us people who love older music and think most of today’s music sucks! Thank you very much your welcome please 👀
Badfinger and Sweet are still good.
