Here are listed 19 of those bands.
1. After Cherry People disbanded, Punky Meadows and Mickie Jones formed Daddy Warbux, later BUX, which released one album. Angel formed after the two met Gregg Giuffria and then Barry Brandt and Frank Dimino, choosing the name "Angel".
Angel were discovered by Kiss bassist Gene Simmons who secured them a deal with Casablanca Records in 1975. The original members of the band were Barry Brandt on drums, "Punky" Meadows on guitar, Frank DiMino on vocals, Greg Giuffria on keyboards and Mickey Jones on bass. Their self-titled debut album, Angel, released in 1975, was an excellent bit of heavy pomp rock, and their lyrics dealt with battles and events in history. They developed an exciting stage concept which was based on the pure colour of white with various illusions and effects and this won them many fans. Their second album, "Helluva Band", released in 1976, featured one of their best tracks, the lengthy "The Fortune Tower ", was most notable as one of their few tunes to grace the air waves. Our featured album saw Angel adopt a more pop/rock sound and introduced a novel logo which read identically when upside down. Micky Jones was later replaced by Felix Robinson and featured on the follow-up album, "White Hot", also released in 1977, along with On Earth As It Is In Heaven. In 1979, Angel were involved in the movie "Foxes" with Cherie Currie , but were later dropped by Casabalanca because of lack of sales. The group split in 1980 after the "Live Without A Net" live album, with Giuffria forming his own outfit with guitarist Craig Goldy, bassist Chuck Wright and drummer Alan Krigger. Giuffria also later featured in House of Lords.
Angel reformed in the late nineties with two original members: Barry Brandt and Frank DiMino. A new album, "In the Beginning", was released in 1999. The album included contributions from various musicians as well guest appearances by Punky Meadows and Felix Robinson. Since then Angel has continued to tour and has been invited to perform at several major festivals including Sweden Rock and Bang Your Head. The current lineup includes: Frank DiMino, Barry Brandt, guitarist Steve Blaze (Lillian Axe/Near Life Experience), keyboardist Michael T. Ross (Lita Ford/Hardline) and bassist Randy Gregg (Thin Lizzy/Lauren Harris).
In 2008 Lovember Records reissued “On Earth As It Is In Heaven” as a Limited Edition. The album has been digitally remastered and includes a 16-page booklet with liner notes by journalist Dave Reynolds (Classic Rock Magazine/Kerrang), a track-by-track run down by singer Frank DiMino, all lyrics and unreleased photos.
In 2018, Meadows and Dimino toured together under the moniker 'Punky Meadows and Frank Dimino of Angel' performing a set of classic Angel songs and solo cuts. They are backed by a band featuring Danny Farrow on rhythm guitar, Charlie Calv on keyboards, Steve Ojane on bass and Billy Orrico on drums. In 2019, with the same lineup the band reformed back to the name "Angel" returning to wearing all white and released a new album "Risen" which had rave reviews and charted on multiple Billboard charting positions.

Angel Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I feel the morning light it seems,
Seems like I've been here far too long.
Every time I feel this way,
Thinking of you always makes me stay.
[Chorus]
So it goes on and on and on,
It goes on and on and on
Why won't I heal?
Said it goes on and on and on,
Like a violent summer rain
It goes on and on and on,
Can you feel my pain?
Things we said that night are gone,
Now I wish I could have told you more.
But sometimes words seem hard to find,
Cause now I've left myself behind
[Chorus]
Every night's the same
I have myself to blame
Cursing out, and callin' out to me
Well tell myself, it took more tears it seems
I feel the pain, coming back to me again
[Chorus: x2]
The Angel's song "On & On" speaks of the pain and longing that the singer feels as time passes by. The morning light seems to remind them of the time that has passed, and it feels like they have been in the same place for far too long. Despite feeling this way, the singer continues to stay and not say how they feel, which ties into the chorus of the song that repeats "So it goes on and on and on, Never saying how I feel." The feeling of the song is intensified when the singer states that thinking of their loved one is what makes them stay, suggesting that the person they long for may not be around.
The chorus of the song speaks of the pain that the singer feels that never seems to go away. It compares the feeling to a violent summer rain, suggesting that the pain is intense and never-ending. Interestingly, the chorus repeats twice at the end, emphasizing the enduring nature of the pain and the inability to move on from it.

As time goes on,
As time passes by,
I feel the morning light it seems,
I notice the morning light every day,
Seems like I've been here far too long.
Feels like I've been in this situation for a long time.
Every time I feel this way,
Whenever I feel like this,
Thinking of you always makes me stay.
I always remember you and stay.
So it goes on and on and on,
This situation never ends,
Never saying how I feel
I never express how I truly feel.
Why won't I heal?
I wonder why I can't move on.
Like a violent summer rain
It's like a heavy and intense rain in the summer.
Can you feel my pain?
Can you understand the pain I'm feeling?
Things we said that night are gone,
What we talked about that night is in the past,
Now I wish I could have told you more.
I regret not expressing myself more to you.
But sometimes words seem hard to find,
Sometimes it's difficult to find the right words to say.
Cause now I've left myself behind
I feel like I've lost a part of myself.
Every night's the same
Every night feels the same
I have myself to blame
I am responsible for my own actions.
Cursing out, and callin' out to me
I get angry with myself and criticize myself.
Well tell myself, it took more tears it seems
I tell myself that I need to cry more.
I feel the pain, coming back to me again
I feel the same pain again.

It was probably the band's chemistry, but I find it hard to believe that these guys didn't evolve into a major force sometime down the road. I heard of Greg Guiffria, but that is nonsense compared to this awesome stuff
