May Blits were on a Vertigo sampler I got which introduced me to this gem:
Roy Wood's 70s output was pretty decent, The Move, ELO's 1st album, Wizzard & Solo stuff is all worth a look.
Colosseum - Bluesy Jazz-Rock
Badfinger - Classy Beatles influenced pop-rock
Brinsley Schwarz - Pub rock
ELF - Dio before he went full on rock
Hawkwind - A lot more to them than Silver Machine
Gerry Rafferty - His late 70s albums are excellent
Ronnie Lane (& Slim Chance) - Post Faces, more folk/pop influenced
Stone The Crows & Maggie Bell - Blues-rock, with powerful female vocals
Robin Trower - Hendrix influenced blues rock
Procol Harum - Their 70s output is great (& overlooked)
Mungo Jerry - Good-time jugband blues/folk/pop
Pink Fairies - Proto-punk stoners
Curved Air - Female fronted, classically inspired prog rock
Frumpy - German, Female fronted prog rock
Seriously: If you value it, take/fetch it yourself

Paladin
Gringo
Ten Wheel Drive
Argent
