When I was at school, one of my friends had an older brother who was drum roadie for Gentle Giant. I used to quite like them, but I was only about 12. On listening to them again recently I wasn't that impressed.
Other bands that featured heavily in my early teen years were - Man, Wishbone Ash, Curved Air, Focus, The Alex Harvey Band, Nazareth, Pete Brown & Piblokto and The Sutherland Brothers & Quiver.
Probably all dead by now
