Suggest one obsure album we all should hear

The Mermen - Food for Other Fish 

Psychedelic surf rock at its finest. 

If you like some vintage rock, try the Frost Music album.

What a Great Recommendation!

I have ordered the first two LP’s from Blackspin Records in Greece with a very reasonable Shipping Cost.

On the hunt for the 3rd LP today.

"Fairytales" by Radka Toneff and Steve Dobrogosz from 1982. The original label Odin out of Norway just reissued the 40th anniversary vinyl from the master tapes. This album is Norway’s all-time best selling jazz album and was voted Norway’s #1 album of all-time based on votes from 100 of the country’s top musicians. Sadly, she committed suicide just 2 weeks after the albums release in 1982.

Oh boy. First, a few recommendations already made that I would second:
The Go-Betweens "16 Lovers Lane" although I'm not sure how obscure that is.

Japan: Tin Drum

The Residents: Commercial Album

Pere Ubu: The Modern Dance

Since I tend to more obscure indie type bands my recommendations will go that way:

My first and the one I would make if you threatened to kill me unless I only make one is The Raincoats: Odyshape.  This is an amazing album for the band on their second album with only one skilled musician. The songs are not the typical formula and so can be difficult. Two main writers/singers. I think the song: Shouting Out Loud is one of my all-time favorite songs but it is not an easy listen.

Thin White Rope is a really inventive great band that very few people paid attention to. All of their albums are good but the most complete is Sack Full of Silver. 

Sleater Kinney's Dig Me Out when they were getting going is an awesome album.

The Jack Rubies: See the Money in My Smile is an album I bought by accident but ended up loving. 

Another accidental purchase was Mutants: Fun Terminal. Kind of fun showy indie rock. 

I don't know if this is obscure but it is Ultravox the John Foxx version, Systems of Romance. This album caused their label to drop them prior to the Midge Ure rebirth but, it is a dang great album and who knows what would have happened if people actually recognized that. 

These are all older ones and I don't know how obscure the more recent stuff is because everything is on Spotify or something. Margaret Glaspy's Emotions and Math, Pip Blom's Boat, MIYNT's various albums (online), Crumb's Jinx,
