Nice work, Lance.  I was stumped on ZZ Top, the Doobie Brothers and Tower Of Power.  In retrospect, I should have picked out ZZ Top. Dusty Hill and his bass are a big tell.

You all probably know all these guys individually, but who remembers the band?

Dave, yours are harder than mine.

The only one I can even take a shot at is the Blasters in the last shot.

The Dirty Mac.

Looks like the Fallen Angels in another pic.

The Dead Boys

Joy Division

Richard Thompson Beeswing

Gram Parsons and the fallen Angels

Thw Ohio Players

 

The Buzzcocks

Sorry for the bad pictures, but there aren't too many pictures of these bands during their very early years.  Hint, both bands went on under different names to become legends of hard rock/heavy metal.

Alice Cooper, followed by the (New) Originals/Thamesmen, who later became Spinal Tap.

No guesses on the cartoon?

Nice job Doolittle, you almost got them all.  Apparently, the second photo in the string I posted stumped everyone.  That's the New York City band Dust, who straddled the line between Blues Rock, Heavy Metal. and Prog Rock.  Look carefully at the guy on the right.  That's Marc Bell, who went on to play in Estus, Richard Hell and the Voidoids, and most famously in the Ramones, where he was known as Marky Ramone.  The Dust albums show that he is an exceptional drummer, and that he dumbed down his style to play in the Ramones. Dust also featured bassist Kenny Aaronson, who also went on to garner some acclaim.

I still have the album with the classic "From a Dry Camel" by Dust!

Somebody name the great drummer in the original Steve Miller Band.

 

Last one on top would be .......King Crimson ?

Tim Davis was a founding member and the original drummer of The Steve Miller Band.  This is his 1972 solo debut, Pipe Dream.  It's worth seeking out.

I have been looking for that Tim Davis LP for a long time.  You don't happen to have a digital copy do you Dave?

I do not have a copy, digital or otherwise of the Tim Davis Pipe Dream album right now, Joe.  Had a nice copy of the record come through my store, but it sold earlier this year.  Only copy I can recall ever seeing.

#4 of Dave's second post is Fairport Convention

Buddy of mine grew up in Chicago. Back in the late 50's, Peter Cetera saw my friend being bullied and intervened, apparently he was a tough kid. He chased the bullies off and warned them not to mess with my buddy anymore. 

 

 

Noodler knows.  Who is the cartoon band?
