Obscure bands

801 is a good choice (provided they're obscure enough), but they did release several live albums in addition to their sole studio release.  I'd assume that "801 Live" (their first release) is their best known recording, but the studio record is very interesting, too.  The other live records were released much later and IIRC aren't great tho they have their moments, too. Full disclosure: I haven't listened to any of them in ages.

I don't think I mentioned these guys - Lucifer"s Friend ( John Lawton) an outstanding vocalist!
As far as I know they were pretty obscure, maybe a cult following at the most.
Does anyone remember them?😎

Lucifer's Friend was formed in 1970. They did a couple of albums with another vocalist in the eighties but supposedly they are still active today with Lawton.
Not sure of the date but Lawton released a live album, I believe in the nineties that was excellent!😎

Forgot a couple from my earlier post:  Be Bop Deluxe and Lil' Georgie and the Shufflin' Hungarians.  BBD was semi-popular back in the day, but I understand that Bill Nelson was a pain and things fell apart.

Lil' Georgie was a Northeast / Mid-Atlantic regional band in the 90s that succumbed to the same thing:  George Rossi was a very talented writer, pianist and vocalist, but his ego killed the project just at the moment they were taking off.
