Obscure Songs (YouTube Links Only.)

No film clip, and sadly no Hawkwind live performance clip either



Great vid, beautiful song. By a band called Firekites hailing from Newcastle I believe.

 

[Rusty Brookes]

Hawkwind were/are an awesome band. Silver Machine made it to number 3 on the charts in England. More proof that the 70s was the greatest period in human history.

Keeping the thread going, another 70s rocker. Dust featuring a pre Ramones Marc Bell.

Yeee-hawwww

 

[Stone in sock]

Orange Peels


Beulah


The Minders


Guided by Voices (could also get a gig in the power pop thread)

Obscure 80's band that should have been bigger. Some cool stuff

Fantastic track, obviously Mitch Easter (lead singer) better known for his production work...

 

[Pacman82]

An all negro punk band I occasionally chuck on

 

[Rusty Brookes]

Bad Brains are a great band but if you want go obscure for Afro-American punk try Death. They were around before punk broke in the mid 70s, self released their own records, were into the Stooges, MC5, Alice Cooper and all of the other pre-punk giants and released some killer tracks.

 

[Tbonefreo]

Taste you like yoghurt saw it on rage one morning with the lil fella. Catchy but really weird

[Gus Poyet]

One of those songs that's rarely bandied about in conversation.

I've not found that. Stuart Adamson often can appear in a conversation of music history.

One look at this clip and you'll know exactly why.......



Obscure songs?



Underrated and ahead of his time.............Nash the Slash.

 

[Rusty Brookes]

Great thread. Keep em coming.

The Bamboos - not the current band but the absolutely ace Perth guitar rock band from the 80s.

 

[krisholio14]

I've been getting into some pretty obscure 70's and 80's funk/disco jams lately....

 

[Eddie Dingle]

Tragically an almost unknown band.

 

[benji2]

 

[Rusty Brookes]

The Freeloaders - Something for Nothing. I saw this band dozens of times often to bugger all people. Sadly both guitarists are now dead. Guy Lucas was a great singer, songwriter and guitarist. He also used to mix bands (like my bands) for next to nothing. Sean Greenaway was in God - you still hear My Pal at the footy quite a lot.

 

[RedmanWasHere]

Hilltop Hoods anyone?

.

And on a separate note.

[gaskin]

Finnish Christmas song. It's a collaboration of the biggest names in Finnish rock and metal music. I think it's quite good but 2 of my favourite bands are represented so I'm a bit biased.

Isn't there a recent doco on these blokes? Good s**t indeed

I've been getting into some pretty obscure 70's and 80's funk/disco jams lately....

Whaddaya mean lately Krisholio you funkster


This 'un's very obscure. Top Dollar from Endless Boogie put me onto this twisted psych curio. Coming on like a demented Scott Walker, on Reachin' he lays down an album chronicling the disappointments of his life in a psychedelic, lounge-rock kinda way. Managed to download it off the interwebz. Love it to death

 

[Rusty Brookes]

Yep, there sure is a doco on Death - mate I go to the footy with saw it and said it's great if a little sad.

Anyways back on track

Some more 90s underground Aussie rock.

Brother Brick out of Sydney. Super live band.

 

[krisholio14]

Some obscure 80's....

 

[HARKER]

Just a little more Hawkwind.

A genuinely obscure song as it was banned soon after release considering the time and the song topic.

 

[Rusty Brookes]

One of my favourites of theirs - that's protopunk 101 for mine. Lemmy's bass playing is awesome on it.

Now for something really different but fantastic all the same. This is Jimmy Hart, the Mouth of the South off the wrestling with his call to arms "We Hate School". Featuring the First Family with Koko B Ware on guitar, the Iranian Assassin on drums and the Super Destroyer on bass. Should have been the number one everywhere. Memphis wrestling was great.
