Could it be Grand Funk?

I heard American Band tonight, and realized that the only other song I know by these guys is I'm Your Captain. Yet, they were, and probably still are a well known band,

I might have to agree with the nomination of the Grateful Dead. They were extremely popular, but hardly had any radio hits. A Touch of Grey is the only song of theirs I can recall hearing on the radio.

No, they had a lot of hits and were a very popular band in their day. But they didn't have a lot of staying power.

I would say Enuff Z'nuff falls into that category. Laurie Anderson. Saxon :).

It's not the Dead's fault that radio sucks. :)

uriah heep had easy living, & stealing (when i shoulda been buying).

oh, & the most spinal tap-ish band member's name goes to UH's MICK BOX, ha.

so far, iron maiden seems to be the biggest band w/ ZERO hits on mainstream radio.

In the DC area, Rush had a minor hit with "Closer To The Heart". That is the first tune I remember hearing them on the radio. A couple years later "Fly By Night" also got a lot of airplay. Strange, seeing how it had been released a few years before.

They also had "Working Man" which is my favorite Rush song.

Q95 in Indy used to play the crap out of Limelight and Tom Sawyer.
