I must be getting old, I have never heard of any of those bands.
The top 4 are all Classic Rock from the late 60's - 70's. Think Cream, Sabbath and Zep. In fact, Zep outright stole the opening stanza of Stairway from Spirit. Like lifted it bar for bar and note for note. Zep stole everything.
If you like that kind of music and the bands that made it big in the genre, you'll love those 4. Cactus being the best and most influential. Hell, Nirvana and Cobain credit Cactus as one of their main influencers. Cactus was THE band that should have made it BIG TIME. Enjoy.
If you like Cactus, check out Jimi Hendrix's "Nine To the Universe", I believe it's the last great Hendrix album, most haven't heard of it. Jimi and Jim McCarty (guitarist for Cactus) do a number called the "Jim/Jimi Jam", unreal.More instrumentals, shows the direction Jimi was heading. What a loss!
I saw Cactus right after the big personal change (lost Jim McCarty and Carmen Appice), we had bought tickets before the change. Really bad performance, just went through the motions. Saw Spirit on the 12 Dreams tour, really great songs,real bad sound. Most shows back then tended to be hit or miss as far as great sound, early Blue Oyster Cult shows(think 1st 3 albums) were really good sounding, though. Bob R
