The "Huge in UK, Nada in US" Music Thread
I was reading some interesting comments in this thread: http://www.warriorforum.com/off-topi...ty-thread.html about how certain songs were well known in some areas of the US and unknown in others. It inspired me to recall some classic hits from the UK charts that never made it in the US.
For instance, this one by The Herd, a band that gave Peter Frampton his start:
And here's a big UK hit for Atomic Rooster. This band was founded by Vincent Crane and featured Carl Palmer on drums, although he left before they had their first hit.
I can't believe this wasn't a hit in the US. It's a classic track by Family, featuring one the great rock voices, Roger Chapman:
And finally (for now) here's one of the best versions of a traditional Irish folk song ever recorded. Thin Lizzy's "Whiskey In The Jar"
