Favorite Obscure Rock Song

Paradise Skies by Max Webster

57 Channels by Bruce Springsteen, with his nod to Elvis.

I’ve been listening to Frank Zappa since 1967. I listen almost daily. Nothing is obscure anymore.

Great thread overall, thanks @flyfish77  Here are two that have been front and center the past several months.  Will be interesting to see if someone can pick up the thread of how I discovered them.  

That's OK, He'll be our Brother Someday - Barefoot Jerry  (1971, the best year ever!) 

Oh Lord - Geordie (Brian Johnson's first band) 

A Letter of Thanks - Jack Bruce

Times - Rare Bird

Hyannisport Soul - Colours

Bright Light Social Hour - Sea of the Edge

Psychedelic rock band from Austin, TX....I saw these guys live in a hole in the wall bar...

Great thread.

Here's a couple of songs that I think are pretty obscure that I just love. These date from the early 70's.

Caravan: Memory Lane/Hugh Headloss (from "For Girls Who Grow Plump In The Night"). The song is available on Qobuz on the Caravan Anthology album but the original album is not on Qobuz. The original album is one of my Desert Island Discs.

Savoy Brown: Ooh What a Feeling (from "Wire Fire"). Album out of print and not available on Qobuz but this song is available on YouTube. This is a great party album.

This cut is not strictly "rock", but it's one of my favorite cuts from this album....deserving of being heard.

In the certified, but maybe not too obscure "rock" category I love "Wasted Union Blues" from the first It's a Beautiful Day album.

"Moons of Jupiter"  Scruffy The Cat

Hope I spell this correctly :  )  In-A-Gadda-Da-Vida by Iron Butterfly. One of the best drum solos 

 The Sensational Alex Harvey Band   

Sufficiently Breathless by Captain Beyond 

Going back to around 1960 Roy Buchanan the Jam part 1 and 2 which he didnot 

even get credit for .

Frigid Pink - Summer time blues 

Vitamin Z 

Circus Ring 

1985 

TRAPEZE - "Black Cloud"

BEBOP DELUXE - "Blue As a Jewel*" (Demo version*)

X - "White Girl"

FETCHIN' BONES - "Deep Blue"

WISHBONE ASH - "You See Red"

House of the Rising Sun by Frigid Pink.

I don't really find these obscure.  If you can find it on Qobuz, it's not really obscure, IMHO.  

"Abort" by Tribe

"Jennifer's Bills" by Spirit Varnish

Here are some you might actually find on some streaming services:

"100% White Girl" by VKTMS

"Machine Gun Voodoo" by SPK

You’re Breakin’ My Heart

Harry Nilsson

Saint in The City, Bruce Springsteen. 

These are arguably trend more towards "progressive rock" than "mainstream rock". Apologies for not picking just one:

"The Camera Eye", Rush

"Moths", Jethro Tull

"Astronomy", Blue Oyster Cult

"11:59 PM October 30th", The Changelings

"Rajah Khan"; Rennaissance

"Caislean Oir", Clannad

Hope You Feel Better Love.  -  The Isley Bros.

Mick Jagger, Going Home, on Aftermath: 11 minutes of amazing vocal performance. Don't know about streaming sound, awesome on LP, CD, R2R

You guys have been responding to exactly what I was talking about. I forgot about Jenny 867-5309.  That is a great song. So is Supper's Ready.

Martha's Madman - by Manfred Mann

Jenny 867-5309- Tommy Tutone.

Russ Ballard-Cast The Spirit

DOA by Bloodrock is the first that comes to mind.

Not obscure but I do like “Creep” by Radiohead. 

Not sure if it qualifies as "obscure" but I like All of You by Don Felder from the Heavy Metal soundtrack.

@rick_n    You are "spot on" with that one.   Listened to it again last night along with "Cinema Show".

I still go back to "Arriving Somewhere But Not Here"  by Porcupine Tree from time to time.   It has a nice complexity and depth.

"Supper's Ready"  by Genesis

I love "Station Man" and love Danny Kirwan’s playing, both from that period and earlier with P. Green. I’ve started working it out on guitar several times but never managed to learn it all the way through.

Not really sure what qualifies as "obscure" but a few more, off the top of my head: "Seasons" by Steve Miller Band, "Someday World" by Wishbone Ash, "In the Kingdom" by Hot Tuna, "Winter" by the Stones, "Each Morning" by Les Dudek, "I Fall Apart" by R. Gallagher. .

Here's the R. Gallagher:

I have many but one I was just listening to is Theme From Boat Weirdos by Joe Walsh.
