Who indeed. Seriously(ish) though, the Allman Brothers Band are even less popular outside the US than the Grateful Dead so expecting everybody else in the world to know who any of them are is a tad optimistic.

Who would the uk equivalent of dickie betts be?
― calstars, Sunday, 12 December 2021 13:33 (two years ago) link
I don't know enough about Dickie Betts to answer that question tbh. A guy who played guitar in a 70s rock band that never really sold anything outside the UK - maybe Rick Parfitt?
― When Smeato Met Moaty (Tom D.), Sunday, 12 December 2021 13:59 (two years ago) link
I"m American, so this is a guess, but would Wilko Johnson be the UK Betts you're looking for?
― tobo73, Sunday, 12 December 2021 14:34 (two years ago) link
John Mayall, maybe.
― Josh in Chicago, Sunday, 12 December 2021 14:36 (two years ago) link
Wasn't John Mayall more popular in the US than the UK? He was based there?

Season 7 SNL 'Goodnight' w/Rick James, Eddie Murphy, Lauren Hutton, William S. Burroughs, and Joe Piscopo
Great episode, Burroughs did a fine job singing "Give It To Me Baby" and Joe Piscopo's dramatic reading of Cities of the Red Night is still legendary!

xpost Hmm, I have no idea! Maybe someone like Roy Harper then?
― Josh in Chicago, Sunday, 12 December 2021 14:52 (two years ago) link
I think Parfitt is too famous, more like Tony McPhee or Mick Box. Bernie Marsden maybe?

No, I think the thing is the Allman Brothers are a much bigger deal in the US than the Groundhogs or Uriah Heep are in the UK.

Dickie Betts: Not really famous on his own but a well-regarded instrumentalist and frequent collaborator.
Steve Howe: Not really famous on his own but a well-regarded instrumentalist and frequent collaborator.

Steve Whoe

Does Steve Howe really collaborate with anyone other than his own bands?

I can't count how many times I've opened this thread and discovered that even when the "famous people" pictured here are identified by name I still have never heard of them.

When I've never heard of them I often wikipedia them

Young MC when he was young, i think

Which is why if I was to post a picture of someone from Status Quo to an audience containing people from outside the UK, I would mention their name at least.
