Succesful Bands That Time Forgot

This idea for a thread popped into my head while driving in my car yesterday. Can you guys think of any bands that were HUGE in their own era, but were gradually forgotten as time moved on? I thought of 2 off the top of my head
1) I think the replacements are probably one of the most forgotten about bands in the last 30 years. For how groundbreaking and influential they were to so many bands, virtually no one recognizes them as a collective band or as individuals. In their early years they wrote balls to the wall punk, that could be angry and simple, or retrospective and sophisticated. By the end of their career they had grown into a tight-nit band, that were essentially the voice for the generation of the 1980's. You can hear how they influenced (for better or worse) bands like Soul Asylum, the Goo Goo Dolls, as well as virtually the intire grunge movement
2) The other one is the Cult. Aside from hearing 'Fire Woman' (which I heard while driving in my car!) from time to time on the radio, this band has been virtually forgotten despite being one of the boggest, multi-platinum (non-hair) band of the 1980's. They weren't cheesey; Billy Duffy could write a killer riff and hold his own soloing, and Ian Astburry can falt out fucking sing.
p.s. I'm not being a 'homer' here (naming bands that have former and current members of GNR), but theses were the two biggest examples that popped in my head. Besides, I don't think Matt reocrded more than one album with the Cult...

Bruce Springsteen & The E Street Band - After they somewhat disbanded in the 80s so Bruce could persue a solo career, their catalogue of just brilliant and introspective albums seemed to get more and more forgotten or overlooked.
Rush - They were around since the early 60s and kicked ass every second of it, but in the mid 80s when the went experimental with "Subdivisions" they lost a lot of recognition and admiration. Since they've returned to their roots of great song writing with brilliant riffs, download their last major single "One little Victory", that song kills!
Guns N' Roses - They were already on fire with AFD, but they were more than suited to be claimed a musical phenomenon after the release of UYI. Then during the last bit or so of the Skin & Bones tour and with TSI? and thereafter, they slowly lost their spotlight and notoriety that made them so superior to all the other bands of their era.

Do you even think before you post? I guess that's why Aerosmith are selling out 98% of their shows in 2005.
I'll go with ELO. Such a great band that no one listens to anymore.

Yes, but it feels like the public have forgot them in some kind of strange way.
And do I think before I post? Yes, I tell my opinion about things, so stop say things like that.

Don't see a case for Aerosmith or Bruce Springsteen. The Replacements have always been a left-of-center band, but plenty of people like them and they get tons of (deserved) praise. I'd go with T. Rex, Mountain, Skid Row, and Deep Purple.

Those bands were killed off by Nirvana. It's amazing how an entire/genre/style was killed off overnight.

bruce springsteen? aerosmith? Maybe you could say they don't get the credit they deserve in an ideal way, but theres no way you could say they've been forgotten in time.
whoever said t-rex and thin lizzy, good shout.

The whole crapping grunge movement killed off that scene.

Well Beach Boys and Mammas and the Pappas.
I heard these two were really big bands, in the past, specially Beach Boys wich fame was even compared to Beatles' back in the days, but obviously they didnt pass the test of time and arent able to influence young generations world wide as good as its comparison does --Beatles--.
