Is king crimson too main stream and the mahavishnu orchestra.

I think those two bands and miles Davis electric stuff really made a huge impact. But maybe more mainstream than those you referenced.

Music was a cool melting pot back then. Players were much better on average.

Flower Travellin' Band - Satori Part 2 (1971)

The Scientists where a Post-Punk band formed in the 70's recording and preforming through the 80's originating from the pub music scene in Perth, Australia.

There comercial success was not massive, though through the underground they influenced Americas 90's indie scene. The likes of Mudhoney, Soundgarden and Kurtdt of Nirvana crediting their musical inspiration
