Who's your favorite obscure band, musical artist?

Friend of mine, years back, turned me on to the Muscular Christians, a goofy folk band from NYU. I think their lead singer played linebacker for the Purple and White, whoever the hell they are. (Actually a line from 'I'm Not Gay'). Their first album, Dan Marino: Important Message is good stuff. If you have a good sense of humor, Richard's Brown Baby Boy will crack you up. Always looking for new bands off the radar. Know of any?

Sort of, but there's a lot of discussion there about non-obscure: Springsteen, Neil Young, Rod Stewart.

 

Night Ranger.

 

Lennon. She's not new, but she combines all of my musical instincts. She's a weird mix of angry Alanis, introspective Tori (even plays the piano) and Ozzy Osbourne.

I absolutely adore her.

 

Dude, Night Ranger's not obscure. DiNunzio's little brother was wearing one of their T-shirts in Caddyshack.

 

They're obscure now!!!!

And Caddyshack came out before Night Ranger's debut album. [/lighting myself on fire]

 

How the fuck did he get the T-shirt then? That's perplexing,

 

i'm actually watching caddyshack as we speak. it says "night riders."

 

Before I answer...By obscure do mean independent artists who put out their own albums on their own labels or lesser known artists on smaller labels? Or both?

Sirs, Madames,

Screaming Blue Messiahs. Can't get my favorite album of theirs on CD still.

YHS, etc
