The obscure music thread

This thread is devoted to the sharing of obscure music. It is intended to be edifying and to act a counterbalance to the noise pollution which fills today's charts.

My first track is "Journey to the Bottom" by Monk Montgomery. If you're wondering whether the song is about anal intercourse - it has no lyrics, so it's difficult to tell. I like to think that it is.

Right - I've got about thirty years on most of you.

How about this?

Electric Prunes.

Thunder and Roses - "Dear Dream Maker" http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=R9u2xlSYV6s

Obscure you say?

I guess you could could say this is obscure;
Was dog a Doughnut; http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ek3csXzqnvQ
His claim to fame is he worked with Madonna before she was famous.

As for smooth jazz, this is my tune on that; http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=58mf0MK4ahY
I am kind of obscure, I'm a cult.
*rollseyes*

And I've got a few more years than Chappers, but what about this for a new talent? Especially given that it's an outdoor festival performance . .

King Crimson - 21st Century Schizoid Man http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zBfCzhYbWBk
Stanley Clarke - School Days http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LQAMT5QWtIw

I like all three of these, they are very good. Just keep listening to Gentle Giant for some obscure music.

The Chesterfields - Ask Johnny Dee http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cHTkE4f_WpA&feature=related

I'm not sure whether this was a hit over here, so I'm not sure how obscure it really is. I know one of the guys, Kid Creole, went on to have a lot of success over here. By the way, look out for Sean Connery, and the dog asleep under the piano: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pLQwvh4hDdI&feature=related
