Loki Posted September 12, 2012 Share Posted September 12, 2012 Morning all! Â So, I thought I'd try a little something here, with all the musiclovers on the forum. I need to compile a big list of some great, but pretty obscure, music from the 50s, 60s and 70s (and earlier but no later). All different styles really, from jazz to heavy rock and all points in between. I'm looking for tracks that are evocative and unusual, not well-known but excellent anyway. Â All suggestions will be listened to, so youtube links or similar would be a bonus. Â Now's your chance to get your personal fave lost track/s heard by a much, much larger audience. Fire away!

Paid Members DEF Posted September 12, 2012 Paid Members Share Posted September 12, 2012 This was on the trailer for Deadly Outlaw Rekka and I fell in love with it. Its from 71 by this crazy Japanese band. No idea if its actually obscure but it was to me. Â Flower Travellin' Band - Satori I Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Loki Posted September 12, 2012 Author Share Posted September 12, 2012 I can't really say, but potentially these tracks will get a new shiny release. Â Just throw any and all at me really. Anything with a bit of blues or rock, early metal, particularly interested in. Â For example, I've just been listening to this: Â Â Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Merzbow Posted September 12, 2012 Share Posted September 12, 2012 Â One of many great NWOBHM bands that never got the recognition they deserved at the time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rey_Piste Posted September 12, 2012 Share Posted September 12, 2012 Do you have limit on how late into the 70s it can be? I could post some good NWOBHM stuff, but that's all from 77-79ish. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Loki Posted September 12, 2012 Author Share Posted September 12, 2012 These have all been great so far! The Cadets track is brilliant, slightly fucked up tracks like that are perfect. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pinc Posted September 12, 2012 Share Posted September 12, 2012 I'm doing this on my work PC which doesn't have sound, so I hope these youtube links are to the right songs. Hopefully these are obscure enough for you.  The Ohio Players - Summertime (1966) - I usually pick this when asked to name my favourite song. I really like the strange, abrupt beginning, and its equal parts eerie and funky throughout the rest of the seven minutes.  - The youtube comments suggest that this was used in a trailer for V (not sure if they mean the alien TV reboot or ..for Vendetta) so perhaps it won't fulfil the obscurity quota. Nevertheless, an epic song which is peculiar for its lack of similarity to anything else the Small Faces ever did. - Funky, brooding, etc. Ms. Humphrey apparently wasn't much of a flute player according to those in the know. This is a brilliant listen regardless. Johnny Guitar Watson - Superman Lover (1976) - Think the youtube link is a live version, the quality of which I can't vouch for because the aforementioned music-less work environment. Redman sampled this years later and killed it dead. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cobra1000 Posted September 12, 2012 Share Posted September 12, 2012 Â Â not sure on the obscurity levels but fantastic nonetheless. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Â glad you liked it! A mate of mine always busts it out when DJing rock n roll and jive nights, and it goes down a storm every time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators PowerButchi Posted September 12, 2012 Moderators Share Posted September 12, 2012 It's by The Hollies, but it's pretty fucking obscure. Â Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Loki Posted September 12, 2012 Author Share Posted September 12, 2012 Mother's Finest - Dis Go Dis Way Dis Go Dat Way (1977)Â A belter. Â Uh, motherfucker. That's slamming. I don't usually like disco-themed funk, but that's great. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
