An artist I love but that most people I know have never heard of. Found an 8-Track of 'Ice Water' in the parking lot at a state park when I was in my late teens and have owned it on every format since. I am partial to guitarists anyway but 12-string is a whole other level.
Greenhouse is one of my favourite albums of all time.

Just listening to the metal rif in this video, it sounds like every Eagles song anyone knows.
The Eagles ripped off country and blues licks on par with Zeppelin. They excelled at stealing members from Poco, first Randy Meisner then Timothy B. Schmitt, mainly because Poco was doing California pop country before the Frey and Henley. Not that I don't like some Eagles.
I think Focus deserve more recognition for popularizing progressive rock. This is some amazing work.
I loved Focus.
They remind me of Mahavishnu Orchestra who are also so underrated.
