Favourite Lessor Known Artists

[Sinister]

It's rough for me to answer this. I could name off bands all day and none of you would have heard of any of them. But I'll go rare


How many times can I say the name Sunshine Blind? Not enough. They were the greatest Goth/Darkwave since Switchblade Symphony. Greater even. Caroline Blind, wherever you are...I miss you as well as Goths everywhere.

Phantom Vision

Anapilis

Are as many as I can think of right now...

I love how you said you could name a lot of obsecure artists (which is the point of this thread), yet post very few artists.

I could name quite a few, but really, whats considered obsecure as far as bands go? It can be reasonably said that artists within a country aren't obsecure, but are obsecure internationally.

Are the BEach Boys obsecure, seeing as they haven't been active for at least 100 years? What about Wes Montgomery? Lionel Hampton? How about Benny Goodman, or Guitar Slim? Sammy Davis Jr? They weren't terribly popular outside of the US. Well, except Sammy Davis Jr.

How about Savage Garden? Franki Valli? Carl Perkins? Charlie Daniels? Martina McBride? Chet Atkins? Dextors Conscience? Escape Escape? Ellington?

Whats obsecure, I say! What!

'Lesser Known' were my choice of words. I wouldn't call the Beach Boys 'lesser known'. If an artist is local to a certain area yet unknown everywhere else, than yes, it's 'lesser known'.

Just make a judgement call if unsure.

I thought I made it clear that all of mine were obscure. Manifestly I am not going to post every band that I listen to, so I picked the rarest ones from my list. Also...please...it is spelled "obscure".

I didn't say they weren't obscure. I said you didn't post very many, even though you said you could list lots of them. The thread says "less known artists', not 'most obscure bands you know'. Fail.

Other lesser known artists (off the top of my head); Black Flag (originators of hardcore punk), BoDeans, Fugazi, The Smiths (Depends on who you talk to), G.G. Allin, Mr. E and the Totally Obscure Band (while on the topic of obscurity), Straylight Run, Robert Johnson, Larry Carlton (okay, not really). I'm sure I'll think of others later.
