Here's an oldie I play once in a while. It's from 1967 by an early "psychedelic" group called Circus Maximus. Interesting chord changes over a constant D - Bass. A bit long at 8 minutes, but back then "serious" rock albums all had at least one cut that was very long. This was a reaction to the mainstream pop industry who felt every song should be around 2 --->2 1/2 minutes long for AM radio.

That Circus Maximus song is amazing, jazz rock is always fun to listen to every now and then.

If anyone's seen the movie Snatch, they will no this song, otherwise it's quite obscure here in the states, it's called Golden Brown by the Stranglers:

One of the worst albums of all-time.

Black Sabbath - Technical Ecstacy

I bought a copy of it on vinyl LP at a thrift store probably 10 or 15 years ago. Every now and then I'll give it a spin just for shits and giggles.

Black Sabbath - Dirty Women

Black Sabbath - You Won't Change Me

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VHTrH2EtRA4

Black Sabbath - It's Alright (Bill Ward on vocals)

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NdObRczYbUk

Black Sabbath - Rock N Roll Doctor

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ohUqq-eFNHY
This one sounds a lot like the song "No Bone Movies" from Blizzard of Oz.

As least it's consistent in its awfulness. Every song sounds like it had all the same instruments/studio settings. Like they set up everything, and just left it in place and recorded each song from there. The pity is that most of the Youtube comments for each cut are positive.

It's Alright is not a Black Sabbath song, I'll tell you that, WTF

This album shouldn't even be obscure, it should be pissed on, burried, have poison ivy planted all around it, and forgotten. Awful stuff indeed, almost as bad of a letdown as The Final Cut from Pink Floyd.

Obviously it is or the record cover wouldn't say "All songs written and arranged by Black Sabbath".

Here's some bad musical stuff from Nitro, complete with requisite shredding by MAB and his 4-neck guitar:

Hi...this is Peter Fonda. You may remember me as that cool 60s guy on the motorcycle tripping around the States back in the hippie days. There were some cool songs around then that never got much air play and are obscure today. So put on your bell bottoms, red headband and flowery shirt and groove to these psychedelic gems:

The Illusion - Did You See Her Eyes

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=70ZwHcQyUso&feature=related

Hendrix - If 6 was 9

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=v8BBipmqKxg&feature=related

Dyke and the Blazers - Let a Woman be a Woman

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yIZ4W8z5VKM

Free - Mr Big (live)

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EK89EVPRaX4&feature=related

Them - Mystic Eyes (early Van Morrison)

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=X-Qn9CVnpmc

Spirit - I Got a LIne on You

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=h1Bnl8PjES8

Laura Nyro - Stoned Soul Picnic

For some odd reason, I've had this damn tune on the brain off and on all week. It's a good song I guess, but not really my style... obviously.

Billy Joel - Piano Man

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BCyKcwvV5gE

Like usual, I made up my own fucked up lyrics to it as I was singing it while doing yardwork the other day. My chorus went something like:
Play with my schlong, you're a faggot (bundle of sticks) man!
Tickle my balls tonight!
'Cause we're all in the mood for a colonoscopy!
And I hope I'm pronouncing that right!

Another part went something like:
And the fags in the Navy are sprayin' man-gravy
like dogs mark their territory!

Yeah, I probably need therapy and medication. But I have fun with my mental abnormalities, that's what counts.

Virtual Zeppelin - a good cover of Black Dog. These guys live in different cities and just play the parts and someone mixes it to the final cut.

Also The Lemon Song

Damn, would not have expected it to sound that spot-on!

Impressive...

A classic rock song from the 70's. The song is fairly simple and would be fairly boring otherwise, but it's pace and structure in this rendition is brilliant. It goes through stages that build, restrain and add more elements to the song that makes it much more interesting than just playing the main 3 chords. And the vocal is great...
An early Joni Mitchell song re-done by a Scottish group called Nazareth:

This Flight Tonight

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=c126VLSjqR0&feature=related

also an acoustic version...to sing around the campfire I guess...

I dont know if this classifies as obscure but wtf! Rammstein's new video/song "Pussy" is pretty much straight up porn! NSFW: http://visit-x.net/rammstein/

|iR|Focalor · « **Reply #88 on:** October 07, 2009, 06:56:49 PM »

I HATE IT.

This has more talent...
