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.

arcam88,

I am a big fan of Hero jr. 
TKO was a great band, the lead singer sounded like of Roger Daltrey.
Because of Mother Lone Bone we have the very unique "Temple of the Dog".
Great list.


@arcam - compliments on your "arcane" taste.  The only ones from your list I've even heard of are those below.  I marked the ones I've actually ever listened to....

Meat Puppets
Monster Magnet
Mother Love Bone
Porcupine Tree - listened
Spock's Beard - listened briefly
Screamin Cheetah Wheelies
The Good Rats - know these guys from back in 1970/71 on vinyl.  Listened to it a lot back then.  Have their first on CD now.
Velvet Revolver - Slash's band after Guns N Roses, I think.  Never listened.  

Do check out A.A. Bondy solo also in Verbena.  Worth a quick listen.

ghosthouse,

Recommend Spocks Beard highly. Every one of their recordings is unique and different. Their "Snow" is a great 2- CD concept albumn recorded in HDCD. I particularly like their material that includes Nick D’vergilio. He’s got quite a resume as well.

Thanks ghosthouse!
I will check your suggestion.
You need to check out the bands on my list that you have not heard of on YouTube or whatever Source you can find them on.
I am pretty sure you will like all or most of them!
I also definitely Echo what nutty says about Spock's Beard! They are one of the most talented group of musicians and songwriters I have ever come across😎
