Obscure bands

Good point nutty!
I forgot to mention Temple of the Dog😎

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😎

Arcam & nutty  - will do.  I'll surf that list and start w/Spock's Beard.  I  admit to having a short attention span so if something doesn't grab me right away, I won't stick with it.  BUT I'll often re-visit stuff.  Just have to be "in the mood" for some things to click.  Later.     

I know the deal ghosthouse,
The first CD I got by  Spock's beard was "Day for Night". I listen to it once or twice and it did not grab me so it's sat on the Shelf.
Then I saw them in concert warming up for Dream Theater and it clicked!
I have loved them ever since.
They have at least 10 and a few live ones. They are all pretty solid.
Just take your time and listen to a variety of their stuff. Don't make a snap decision😎
