Aviation Blondes – ‘Edge of Forever’ (2009): Forgotten Series
Aviation Blondes’ debut LP was contemporary pop-rock music, and not the garage rock that you’d expect from the Get Hip label.
Forgotten Series
Gerard – ‘Gerard’ (1976): Forgotten Series
In retrospect, it’s not hard to see why this copycat-sounding self-titled debut is their only LP. ‘Gerard’ is perhaps the best Chicago album of the era.
Australian Crawl – ‘Sirocco’ (1981): Forgotten Series
‘Sirocco’ became Australian Crawl’s first No. 1 LP in their home country, but didn’t manage anywhere near that level of success on the ‘Billboard’ charts.
Illinois Speed Press – ‘Illinois Speed Press’ (1969); ‘Duet’ (1970): Forgotten Series
Illinois Speed Press arrived with some key Chicago-related connections. Their claim to fame, however, was setting the stage for Poco.
The Poppees – ‘Pop Goes the Anthology’ (2010): Forgotten Series
Coming together in 1973, the Poppees were born either a decade too late or a few years too early.
Roger Daltrey – ‘Ride a Rock Horse’ (1975): Forgotten Series
‘Ride a Rock Horse’ managed a bit of a tougher edge, compared to Roger Daltrey’s self-titled debut effort from 1973.
Orpheus – ‘Orpheus’ (1968): Forgotten Series
An interesting collection of songs, ‘Orpheus’ smacks of poise and class, yet is balanced by enough curiosities to form a far-out feel.
Wadsworth Mansion – ‘Wadsworth Mansion’ (1971): Forgotten Series
Emerging from Providence, R.I., Wadsworth Mansion are the ultimate example of a one-hit-wonder act.
Timothy B. Schmit and Glad – ‘Feelin’ Glad’ (1968): Forgotten Series
Not to be mistaken for the Christian band of the same name, Glad served as an early stop for future Poco and Eagles star Timothy B. Schmit.
The Knack – ‘Round Trip’ (1981): Forgotten Series
Ranking as perhaps the Knack’s greatest album, ‘Round Trip’ sadly failed to make the impact it so rightfully deserved.
