The Offspring in particular is not obscure.

I have CDs by these artists that a lot of folks around here don't seem to know (not saying no one does...):

*Chris Farlowe
*The Vejtables
*Gareth Gates  :-[
*Supreme Love Gods
*Off Broadway
*Something Happens
*Cliffs of Dooneen
*Athenaeum
*David and Jonathan
*Dwight Twilley
*The Jags

David and Jonathan were the songwriting duo Roger Greenaway ("David") and Roger Cook ("Jonathan", and found a greater commercial success with a series of crafted compositions including "Gasoline Alley Bred" (the Hollies), "Home Lovin' Man" (Andy Williams), "I'd Like To Teach The World To Sing" (the New Seekers) and "Something Tells Me (Something Is Gonna Happen Tonight)" (Cilla Black).

Ummm ... Cogs  ;D

Of Arthur Brown, Carl Palmer left Arthur Brown to form Atomic Rooster,which is on my list,
He then left Rooster to join ELP in 1969.In 1970, or there about, Chris Farlowe joined

Even the Gareth Gates Fansite on Wanadoo has shutdown.

The Hot Rock - Sleater-Kinney

Oh, Inverted World - The Shins

Chutes Too Narrow - The Shins

Tom Rush - Tom Rush

Take A Little Walk With Me - Tom Rush

Merrimack County/Ladies Love Outlaws - Tom Rush

Blues, Songs and Ballads - Tom Rush

I'd imagine you'd consider these obscure.

Oh, Inverted World - The Shins

Chutes Too Narrow - The Shins


The Shins, especially "Oh, Inverted World" are becoming very mainstream.

Yeah, I had a friend burn me both of those senior year. Really good stuff. I first heard it in his car, but I think they're fairly well-known, especially since one of their tunes was on the Garden State soundtrack.

I have soundtracks to musicals that I'm sure no one has ever heard of.

The Toyes (most probably know their song "Smoke Two Joints"-remade by Subline? but the Toyes does it better.) Dr. D. fans may know this group.
http://www.thetoyes.com/

Inca Son-they play Peruivan music. Wonderful in concert.
http://www.incason.com/

The Woods Tea Company-one of my favorites. They play Celtic music and sea chanties. If you get a change to see them in concert, I HIGHLY recommend it. They ALWAYS put on a great show.

I also have a couple of new age albums-Rain Forest, Native American, etc. etc.

The original Black Metal Band, Lady, you're classy  ;)

I like Girlschool  but I don't own any of their albums,yet.
I also forgot to mention Triumvirat,Though I don't know how,
one of their album covers is my avatar.This German band may have
been popular in Europe but here in the States they are unknown.

I know those four.  I have a few of Dwight's albums on cassette.  I love them :)

Tab Benoit, some African tribal stuff from Lebo M., Earlimart, etc.
Some VERY rare classical CD's that probably no one except myself would enjoy as I like some rare oddities, yet they are just as beautiful as any other Tchaikovsky piece.

Ah, Mike Doughty... Soul Coughing. GOOD!

Another obscure album I own is "Throw the Warped Wheel Out" by Fiction Factory.  I've talked with many Brits who remember Fiction Factory, but didn't know they had an actual album ;D

[quote author=whis

I have Fiction Factory's song "Feel's Like Heaven" which is a lovely song.. I never knew if they did much more than that, though.


Feels Like Heaven was revived in 2002 as a dance version by a group called "Dario G", but apart from that, it was their only success.  It is quite a lovely song :)

As far as I know, "Throw the Warped Wheel Out" was their only album ...

http://images-eu.amazon.com/images/P/B000007U2D.02.LZZZZZZZ.jpg

I have an album of psychadelic British songs. The standard is surprisingly good; at least as good as the Beatles Sgt. Pepper if not better.

[quote author=whis

Wow, I should always count on you for good background info, Jason.  ;)

I like that album cover, too. I probably would have never seen that in my lifetime. I wonder if I could seek out the 2002 remake. I'm curious how that sounds.


Here are sound clips of it :)

[quote author=whis

The Go-Gos Beauty and the Beat 1980 EP
Captain and Tenille and Linda Ronstadt EPs
Beatles US First Edition Singles, and some Motown Singles

Venom, are you kidding me.

The original Black Metal Band, Lady, you're classy  ;)

Funny thing is when me and my friend Catherine were 16 we went to see them play at a local Youth Club nr. Newcastle, they were up on stage and I  recall as clear as day Catherine gawping at them as she had a major crush on the Lead, dunno if it's still the same guy or not.
Good to hear they made it though, I heard years ago they went to the US but wasn't sure of the outcome.
Ah those Friday nights at heavy Rock gigs at Genevieves/Sunderland Mecca     :D :D

As I think through my album collection I remember more.I have,

Witness: 80's band, claimed to be only live band at the time to cover Hocus Pocus by Focus.

Hooters: mild success with "And We Danced, Day By Day, All You Zombies."

Qango and PM: Carl Palmer's solo adventures.

Frank Marino And Mahogany Rush: may be popular in Canada but not here.

Art Of Noise: again, in this region, obscurity.

Veruca Salt: same as above.

I have an album of psychadelic British songs. The standard is surprisingly good; at least as good as the Beatles Sgt. Pepper if not better.


I've never liked how overrated Sgt. Pepper is. It wasn't the first psychedelic album, and it wasn't their best. I mean... Yeah, it's good, but how can you get more psychedelic than Revolution 9?!

I forgot to mention that I have Dr. Demento's Basement Tapes volumes 1-10.  ;D

Number 9 came after Sargeant Pepper, all part of the evolution.

Ah, Mike Doughty... Soul Coughing. GOOD!


Mike Doughty? Oooh, I almost missed that.

I'm a Soul Coughing fan myself.. I almost bought "Irresistable Bliss" once, but got wise and checked it out first... I've yet to find a Soul Coughing album that's good the whole way through, but they have a few damn fine songs.

Number 9 came after Sargeant Pepper, all part of the evolution.


I agree.

Also, Sgt. Pepper was just in the mix of pscyhedelic music, and I don't think it ever proclaimed itself to be part of the genre, it's main spot is as a concept album. One of the very first. And, I believie, it was also the first to have full lyrics printed within the album sleeve. Very innovative for the time.

The Moody Blues did an interesting concept album around the same time, which is a favorite of mine to listen to, called "Days of Future Passed" also 1967.

Do any of these have the song where the baby falls out of a window into
a bucket of shhhhhhh-aving cream.

other albums I own that fall into obscurity:

UK..self titled album and Danger Money

Starz...Violation

Keith Emerson..Solo ventures,(Honky, Harmegeddon, Inferno, Night Hawks Soundtrack
                      murderock and Best Revenge Soundtrack).

Roger Daltry..Under A Raging Moon (popular artist but this particular album seems to
                  have fallen between the cracks).

Do any of these have the song where the baby falls out of a window into
a bucket of shhhhhhh-aving cream.




I think there is at least one with Dr. D. singing his version of "Shaving Cream" on the Basement Tapes (which are unreleased music) I also have Dr. Demento greatest hits of the 50s, 60s, 70s, and 80s + Christmas all on vinyl. And yes, Benny Bell singing "Shaving Cream" is on it.

I love that song, It's been about 25 years since I last heard it.I couldn't wait for
Dr D.'s show to come on the radio.I really liked that show and it was always followed
by The King Biscuit Flower hour.

I have Sun Ra LPs...(looooove)
and the jack Kerouac recordings...including some lectures.
full collection of disney soundtracks...not the crappy new disney movies (like since little mermaid) but the real ones.
And that british tv version of alice in wonderland (was it throguh the looking glass?)

I noticed some VERY familiar names on the front cover! I had no idea who Lord Sutch was though.

What a character!  :D  Thanks for the link, here's some karma for ya!  :)

The Vaseline's compilation called "The way of the Vaselines", it's a pretty quirky and twisted childlike album.

Global - No Boundaries EP
NASA Project - High Friends In Places EP
Force Mass Motion EP (Rabbit City Records 004)

I don't know if I'd consider these obscure as to hard to find...

White label 12" singles:
Elton John - "Rocket Man"
Prince & The Revolution - "When Doves Cry"/Robbie Tronco - "Walk"
Sonic Boom - "Tra La La"
Chris Isaak - "Wicked Game"
Prince - "1999" (Y2K 4 U Mix)/Baghdad Cafe - "Calling You"
SL2 - "Jude On A Ragga Tip"

I also own one of the very few recorded copies of The Divys' remix of "Disco Life", as I created it.  You can find a link to the remix here.

I'm buying a couple old Tubeway Army CDs soon.

I just remembered I own this rare disc that I think I paid $30 for (about 10 years ago) which was imported from England and had about 1 1/2 hours of Beatles Interviews.

I also own two single vinyl records for the release of the Beatles "Real Love" which came out 10 years ago when the 2nd Beatles Anthology was released. I bought them like candy because they were only $2 each. I just hope they'll be worth more than that someday! But - that doesn't mean I'll give them up  ;D

I have Rick Wakeman's Journey to the Centre of the Earth and his Six Wives of Henry VIII-which I don't like as well as the Journey to the... album (which I love).  Both on vinyl.

As I think through my album collection I remember more.I have,

Hooters: mild success with "And We Danced, Day By Day, All You Zombies."




Hooters, as in "Satellite"..? ??? They're not really obscure IMO. "Satellite" went to #19 in Dutch Top 40.



From my own record collection:

Vampyros Lesbos - Sexadelic Dance Party (music from some obscure 1960s porn movies)

Quick and the Dead - Womb (Aussie gospel rock)

The Choir - Chase The Kangaroo (US gospel)


...so I have a broad mind. ::)

Not really obscure, but they are a great band. I only have a small collection of their stuff, but it's great.

Hooters, as in "Satellite"..? ??? They're not really obscure IMO. "Satellite" went to #19 in Dutch Top 40.






I just looked them up on the net, and I'll be darned,they have more albums
than I thought.They are a Philadelphia band but in this area they seemed to
have disappeared.The Hooters opened the Philadelphia side of Live Aid in 1985
but they never got any billing,no mention in the program and they are not shown
in the DVD.To me this is obscurity,but apparently they have notoriety else where.

Speaking of Dario G.... do you know where they got their name from?  ???






From Dario Gradi, the coach of British soccer club Crewe. (Don't know if he's still in charge there)

Dario G are Scott Rosser, Stephen Spencer and Paul Spencer. I love their catchy tunes "Sunchyme" and "Carnaval de Paris". :)

Are they considered obscure?


I never knew that avout their name. 

I don't think they would be obscure.  They never made it over here, but internationally such as the UK, they did very well.  "Carnaval De Paris" is like one of the greatest songs of the 90's :)

The remix "Carnaval 2002" was also good

I have the CD single of "Sunchyme" .. it's still one of my favourite songs with an 80's sample 8)

O M G!!


It has finally happened! :D


I can now share some of my favourite music with you. :) Here's two songs for a start:



Vampyros Lesbos - The Lions And The Cucumber (music from some obscure 1960s porn movie)

Quick and the Dead - Bleed (From their album Womb)

Hmm... A lot of people know The Arcade Fire and The Shins...

Gang of Four is semi-popular...
Like I said, most of my CD's are not very obscure (except for New Zealand released ones not found on the 'net) as it costs me way too much to buy 'em as most have to be imported.  :-\\

I have a few really early Ween tapes.. like, from when they were 17.

Burn Kate
Jersey Calling
