@jssmith, thanks for the shoutout! I'm glad to know that I'm not the only Trapeze fan here. (More cowbell please!!!).

I forgot to include "Red Shoes" by THE THROWING MUSES in my color themed choices of obscure or at least semi-obscure songs.

The Confessor Joe Walsh

"Throw Down the Sword" on the Wishbone Ash  "Argus" album.  Ted Turner and Andy Powell's twin leads are almost mesmerizing

Almost anything from Steely Dan but in answer to your query, hard to narrow down to one so here’s a random pick, from Caravan to Midnight by Robin Trower, I’m Out to get You. Nice little boogie!

Black Widow Lover by White Witch on the self titled album

You Better Realize on the This Time We mean It album by REO Speedwagon

both mid 70's works that I much like

T.U.S.A. by the Masters of Reality, which was a Ginger Baker side band …

or She Got Me (When She Got Her Dress On)

Both from the same album called Sunrise on the Sufferbus.

If your bass is well grounded and solid you’re in for a treat, and get ready to Rock!

Fun thread!

This is basically the second Jeff Beck Group without Jeff. The first Hummingbird album was released in 75 while I was working at a record store and it has been a favorite ever since. This is the first song:

Tommy James and the Shondells Crystal Blue Persuasion

@pointtrucking that's a real cool song ... but, I believe it was also a major hit.

I'm that old.          : )

Kudos to UZJ100 for nominating McGuiness Flint’s - When I’m Dead and Gone. I found it on Qobuz and heard it for the first time since high school 1970! Unfortunately it became an earworm and I found myself humming the chorus all day until I went to sleep!

I noticed many songs described here were fodder back in the ‘underground’ FM radio days. Fascinating! 

My contribution is The Sad Cafe (Not the Eagles version) by Holy Moses!! -Also on Qobuz

SOFT MACHINE - 25 August 1968 Ce Soir On Danse

You Make Me Feel Right at Home, Ted Nugent album, written by Cliff Davies.

Wild dogs-Tommy Bolin off of Teaser

Free For All - Ted Nugent

Around the Pynth - Rod Stewart and Faces

When It Blows Its Stacks - Captain Beefheart

Whirly Bird - Silver Apples

Big Mama Boogie - Cactus

1880 or So (Rose of my Heart) - Television

Here’s another obscure Fleetwood Mac song from the Peter Green era Fleetwood  Mac.  Like Crying might be an obscure song, but Peter Green is playing Greeny, one of the most famous guitars in Rock and Roll history.

"The Shape Of Things To Come" - The Headboys

*You, I" - The Rugbys

"Tula" - The Rumour

"Sleeping" - Dwight Twilley

You want obscure?

How about Root Boy Slim and the Sex Change Band, Dare to Be Fat, You Broke My Mood Ring, Boogie Til You Puke. Great live band in the DC area years ago.

Also, Tonio K. just about anything off the album Life In the Food Chain but especially The Funky Western Civilization and H-A-T-R-E-D but the whole album is great.

OMG! I can't forget one of my new fave groups!

The Slambovian Circus of Dreams doing A Very Unusual Head!!!!

Check them out! They're from the Sleepy Hollow area along the Hudson and are fantastic live. Very original and impossible to categorize.

Caves of Altamira - Steely Dan.  My 9-year-old son latched onto this one, and it quickly became a favorite of mine.

Cross-eyed Mary - Jethro Tull.  Maybe not obscure, as I was familiar with it in its day, but maybe not the most played Tull song out there.

+1 soix 

Little Feat "Spanish Moon" from the live album Waiting for Columbus, not the studio version

Brian Eno "Babie's on Fire"  Not very inviting but features Robert Fripp plays the most blistering guitar solo I have ever heard.

Sheryl Crow

The difficult kind

👍

Dire Straits - Industrial Disease from the Love Over Gold album

Atlanta Rhythm Section - Another Mans Woman from the Red Tape album, especially the bass solo.

Nuclear Apathy Crack the Sky

+1 more for Spanish Moon. Best song on the second best live album ever.

Side B of Let it Be, You Know My Name, Look Up the Number.  Beatles

Ian Gomm. Hold On

Blodwyn Pig “Dear Jill” and “Change Song”

Bobby Whitlock “Thorn Tree in the Garden”

Alvin Lee & Mylon LeFevre “On the Road to Freedom”

Blue Cheer "Peace Of Mind" from New & Improved!

The Serpent Power-Endless Tunnel

Scary Monsters -- David Bowie

Great song to show off your system

I've got several that tie for favorite; Fire by Aurthur Brown (crazy world of Aurthur Brown) and Heavy Metal by Dan Felder. There are so many really good songs that still give me chills when I crank up the sound It's hard to choose.
