In part because the “history” of rock is about significant bands that had long-running careers (or died young, the only alternative), if a band was uncool or kind of meandered in their career, they are not part of the official history.

But for us real listeners and enjoyers and students, a large part of what has thrilled us in our REAL rock history is just such little gems.
