I may be stretching the bounds of the definition Rock music here. Apollo Four Forty possibly fall into a dance or electro category. However, stay with me. My first evidence for the jury is they covered Blue Oyster Cults
Don't Fear The Reaper (well). The second and final piece of evidence is
Getting High on Your Own Supply
which includes the
Lost in Space (movie theme) and
Stop the Rock, buy this album for those two tracks, then visit their other (less rocky) work.
Attila has to be one of the most unlikely bands. I give you hard rocking Billy Joel and Jon Small. This oddity from 1970
Attila (Digipak)
is a bit like Emmerson Lake and Palmer but as a duo. I only picked this up after reading an article in Classic Rock magazine (and glad I did). Be warned, it's a bit odd.
Another rule for collecting Rock music - strange, odd and eccentric are all good. Start to worry when it turns into self indulgence, but I'm sure I'll uncover examples there that still work.
