Obscure bands


Does anyone know a band called City Boy? (70's/80's)Very obscure and very original. It's beyond Me how such great talent goes so unnoticed! Also please chime in on other obscure talented musicians.

Here’s the reference to Steely Dan that I found about Crack The Sky:

I think it had more to do with their albums charting on the Billboard 200, than an actual comparison of the bands themselves.  Still, Tidal had a bunch of their albums, so I plan on listening to a few this evening.
Sadistic Mika Band...Japanese proto-hentai-punk strangeness...

Batdorf & Rodney.

The Cache Valley Drifters.

...there's others, but if I knock more dust off of some of these obscurities, my COPD will act up and nobody will understand the epitaph on my gravestone...
The eponymous album and Safety in Numbers are faves but its honestly been years since I listened to them.
I listened to "Safety In Numbers" and "White Noise" last night.  They seem to me, to be a cross between Duran Duran, Kansas and ELO.

I really enjoyed both albums.  Tidal has more and I plan to listen further.  Thanks again for the recommendation.
