Obscure bands

Does anyone know a band called City Boy? (70's/80's)Very obscure and very original. It's beyond Me how such great talent goes so unnoticed! Also please chime in on other obscure talented musicians.

A criminally underrated band that I loved back in the day and still. China Crisis just released a new album last year, "Autumn in the Neighborhood". If you loved their previous work you will love this and they have some get this: great steel guitar work on a couple of cuts.

Can't believe I missed them when I was looking through my collection. I have all of their albums on vinyl. Good call!

I know of about half the bands on your list. Gentle giant definitely deserved more recognition. I haven't heard The Tubes mentioned. Formed in 1975 out of San Francisco, they definitely had a different approach. A little rock, a little punk, a little??? And a lot of humor. I saw these guys live twice and boy did they know how to put on a show( not just play) They had a couple of minor hits" Talk to Ya Later"and "She's a Beauty". But most people wouldn't have a clue who The Tubes are.
