The Osmonds
Yes, the Osmonds! Oh, yeah, and I'm actually going to say something positive. When I was 7-years-old I was grooving to their album "Crazy Horses" and ended up with many more of their albums as a kid. 30+ years later I'm hearing some of these songs for the first time and I'm actually kind of surprised. This stuff is not all "Puppy Love". Actually a few decent little power pop moments. As Beatles-inspired power pop is one of my favorite styles I can also see how the Osmonds actually probably helped push that along in my childhood influences.
I'm being totally serious! Of course, I wouldn't say they are THAT worthy of praise, but it's a bit of a shock to me hearing these songs. Moog, theremin... bunch of guitar crunch on some songs.
Now, back to the Sonics.

The Osmonds rocked! I grew up listening to songs like "Puppy Love," "Go Away Little Girl," "Sweet and Innocent" with Donny on lead vocals, and Marie's song "Paper Roses." "One Bad Apple" was another favorite of mine back then.
I'm also a proud fan of The Partridge Family too.
I wish they'd put out like a Greatest Hits cd for The Osmonds and maybe a DVD recapping the fame they had bad in the 70's.
Remember the DeFranco's? They were awesome too....
I loved Donnie and Marie's "signature" song they sung on their weekly show about being a little bit country, and a little bit rock 'n' roll.

Donnie was able to pull off one helluva comeback with his hits "Soldier of Love" and "Sacred Emotion" from his self-titled CD back in 1989. That was an awesome album and a great year for him.
