Sly and the Family Stone – arguably one of the greatest American bands of any genre

Television – kind of invented punk, inadvertently

Big Star –invented power pop and the opening theme for That 70s Show. Alex Chilton died virtually unknown except by music geeks

Great band that should have made it big.

You could find him all over the place in N.O. before he died. Was a nice guy and really talented. I actually saw him with The Box Tops when I was a kid.
