My big brother had an awesome record collection when I was a kid. He'd get jobs flipping burgers or whatever so he could spend the money on albums. When he was out working or at football or band practice, I'd sneak into his room and listen to them. I got acquainted with a lot of great music that way. Thanks, Bro. And sorry about the sneakin'.

How can it be that I've heard of Zeppelin, Black Sabbath, Deep Purple, Rush and Judas Priest and not Uriah Heep? Great voice on this guy!

Hmm. I've heard quite a few of these songs, but would be hard-pressed to admit that I knew this band sang any of them.
No older brother?
no...my buddy's older brother introduced me to Twisted Sister, Def Leppard, Whitesnake, Styx, G'n'R, Poison, etc.
Edit - was ruminating more on the nature of what would cause a classic, successful, 1970's hard-rock/heavy metal band to be less recognizable to a 30-something who recognizes the rest of those classic, successful, 1970's hard-rock/heavy metal bands I referred to.
Easy Livin' was probably their biggest hit and most recognizable song, it was their only one to crack the Billboard Top 40, so they didn't have widespread commercial appeal here in the US. I guess the answer could be that there was such a glut of good rock bands in the late 60's and early 70's that some of them are going to get lost in the shuffle. Unless you happen to be E-6 and have an encyclopedic knowledge of music, that is.
