Frontier Psychiatrist...obscure? Yeah right.


I'd say maybe Boneheads Bank Holiday by Oasis.
Not a total favourite, but of all the songs I regularly listen to, probably the most obscure.
It's only available on the Uk Vinyl print of (What's the Story) Morning Glory?

[Caleigh]

Nevermore by Queen

[OEMEnemyNum1]

Audioslave - Shape of things to come


You might recognize the song from Miami Vice (film). It was one of 2 Audioslave songs that never made it on the soundtrack (which I spent good money on). It made it on the Revelations album later.

Just love the way the song changes up from quiet and moody, and then jams up a bit.

midnight oil, beds are burning

Lou Reed - The Bed

Oh; since this is a thread about obscure songs, does anyone know the name of the artist that sings a song that goes like this:

standing at the edge of darkness
lightning falling all around

summertime, summertime's almost gone
I see no reason to carry on

Something like that?
I downloaded it years ago and it was mislabeled as Nirvana, but it was too classic rock sounding and the voice was nothing like Kurt's.

I was never able to find the real artist on Google, and eventually I lost the CD that had that track on it. :(

Well, you are the 2nd person I have ever known that knew of that song. Look at the other responses to this thread.

I know you are just trying to be cool by belittling the first post. Good Job! Maybe you should take up smoking too. Then you would be even cooler.

[youcancallmeclaire]

and some other slightly obscure songs...

"God Kicks" by Therapy?

The BBC recordings version of "In the Court of the Crimson King" with the alternate lyrics, by King Crimson.

"Eggshells" by Plasticbynature. Commonly mislabeled as a Grateful Dead song on the internets.

"and all that could have been" by Nine Inch Nails. semi-rare? I think you could only get it by mail-order.

"splinters" by Suns of the Tundra. They started off as a band called Peach, and they used to have a guy from Tool play with them, but never really got very popular in the states.

[Anthony_Sydney]

She didn't even remember my name. By Osmosis.

[trish]

okay...fishheads made me laugh :lol:

i'm nominating Kurt Weill's Lost in the Stars.

[Canucklehead]

March Of The Black Queen off of QueenII (probably my all time fave album)

Starfleet/Let Me Out/Blues Breaker by Brian May, Eddie Van Halen, Fred Mandell, Phil Chen, Alan Gratzer (3 song EP from '83)

On a side note, I kinda feel sorry for the kids today who are downloading only the "popular" songs or the "radio/video hit songs". By not buying the whole album, they are probably missing out on some fantastic gems on side II or good songs that just aren't commercial enough for radio.

Many of my favorite songs would never get a sniff from radio, maybe that is why I like them.[/i]

Every song I listen to is Obscure.

She only comes when she's on top!

[TJT]

I remember seeing the Fishhead's video the first time it aired on an MTV "Make Your Own Video" contest . It battled it out with another homemade vid about dating called "Dog Police" for 1st place.

It seems to me "Dog Police" won?

[TJT]

To add to the topic. "Psycho" by The Sonics would probably be mine.

They invented that distorted Seattle sound that came to be called "grunge" in the 90's back in 1964/65.

Let's talk dirty in Hawaiian
John Prine

One my favorites of almost total obscurity would be Omar Epps, yes I am referring to the actor. Back in the mid 90's, himself and his cousin thought they could rap.

I actually think the song was okay. But no one I know recalls the song which seems odd to me being I'm a deejay and so are most of my friends. (But of course someone on Youtube remembered the song.)

Anyway the group and song was :

Wolfpack - Definition
