Maybe a cheat, but this compilation from Hawkwind, and probably only a classic among the fans.

Still going, with a hardcore cult following. Lemmy started his career with Hawkwind and got kicked out for using the wrong drugs. He wrote and sung their only chart success, Silver Machine.

I still have the LP. Long since deleted. Don't think it even made it on to CD, I tried to find it, even though all the tracks are available elsewhere.

Heard the same afternoon as VH1 when I was 12. From there on I lost interest in mainstream and top 40 music.

They Might Be Giants-"Lincoln"

They Might Be Giants is just 2 guys using lots of overdubs resulting in weird but very catchy songs.The best song on this disc is IMHO "Ana Ng" Lincoln is one of their earliest CDs and is a landmark recording to say the least.


Love that album. Also really liked Apollo 18 but Lincoln is one of my favorites. Catchy songs, interesting progressions and instrumentation. Love the build up in the middle section of "Lie Still Little Bottle" that finishes off with the random Car Horn hit right before the chorus comes back in.

Phish - Junta - Some really sick guitar work on that.

Pink Floyd - Obscured by Clouds

The Sundays "Reading Writing Arithmetic" is kind of obscure. It was alternative to begin with. Great songs..great playing(especially the bass parts)...and I love her voice.

Great album. Love the stops and starts to turn the pages on his music sheets. I believe he went out and bought purple paint to paint those stripes on his floor prior to the photo shoot.

Ronnie Wood and Ronnie Lane, the soundtrack to "Mahoney's Last Stand"...lots of interesting cameo performances by Pete Townsend and others...very dated 70's sound.

Bill Wyman's "Monkey Grip" album.

The Arc Angels 1992 eponymous release and (later) live album "Livin' in a Dream"

Charlie Sexton's "Cruel and Gentle Things"

Ron Wood's "I've Got My Own Album To Do", especially the track, "Am I Groovin' You?"

Nicky Hopkins, Mick Jagger, Charlie Watts, Bill Wyman and Ry Cooder, "Jammin' With The Edward"...most of the album is meh, but their version of "It Hurts Me Too" is so sweet it makes your teeth ache.

" Jammin with Edward "...... Bill Wyman, Ron Wood and other's

10CC .... It's a yellow album but forgot the title. Wall Street Shuffle is one of the songs.

Silverhead ...." 16 and Savaged " and the previous album.

Black Oak Arkansas's " Keep The faith "

Journey " On a Saturday Night " and the previous 1st album. This was the result of the personel split in Santana

Pigale ... An Avant-Guarde french group who sadly never made it in the states..
( Think of Ratatouille with a pinch of Tim Curry and Ian Anderson thrown in ... )

Hmmm, the title is a bit of an oximoron, meaning what classic album would be obscure. "Classic" as classic to you or classic meaning old or classic meaning appealing to a lot of people? :?
