Here's my list of bands that deserved more than the very few hits they had or deserve to be recognized for more than the one or two songs people know:
Count 5, Standells, Devo, Alice Cooper, 13th Floor Elevators, Yardbirds, T.Rex (in America), Syndicate of Sound, the Sonics ("The Witch" and "Psycho" were small hits in some areas), and The Ramones (too many people think they only sung "I Wanna Be Sedated" then died).
But the crown of the arist with the most overlooked material goes to (drumroll)..... The Kinks. Beyond "Lola" and "You Really Got Me" a lot of people hardly know they exist, when in actuality they produced probably the largest body of exceptional work in the genre, as far as I'm concerned. Should have been much bigger than the Stones as they consistently made good music for more years.
So says I, what say you?
