Obscure bands

Another criminally obscure artist is Bill Mallonee from Athens, GA. Bill has released a ridiculous number of albums to critical acclaim, but has never achieved significant commercial success. Both his solo works and his band Vigilantes of Love are excellent. Check out "Perfume Letter" where his guitar playing is very much like George Harrison. His 70+ albums are available for download on bandcamp and his website is www.volsounds.com. This guy can really write.

** Camel. Suzi Quatro, Mother's Finest, Nantucket, Goose Creek Symphony, American Flyer, etc.

Henry Gross- Plug Me Into Something is one of my favorites.

The Dixie Dreggs don't show up much anymore. There are many outlaw country/ alternative country guys popping up.

I grew up with some kids whose uncle owned Beach Club Productions- we listened to many a promo album in the 70's but my 55 year old memory fails me.

I'll check into some of your entries, great thread!

I love this, I'm soaking it up!                  Have not heard these guys mentioned. Who remembers Axe?                                  A pretty well kept secret except for thier song "Rock-Roll Party in the Streets" They had at least 6-8 albums that were all solid. (Late 70's- 80's-90's... They Rock!!!

I remember Axe. Bobby Barth did some guitar and vocal work for them and he was also in the band Blackfoot.

How obscure arcam?

Does Greg Kihn qualify? What about Dwight Twilley (w/Phil Seymour)??

But if Joy Division, Wishbone Ash, Uriah Heep, & Spooky Tooth are considered obscure, then I guess these two will stand.

Cuby & The Blizzards should definitely qualify (well in the USA - but not so much in the Netherlands).
