Empty Head
Everyone has their own definition. The Flamin Groovies, born in the "garage' era of the 60's and rockin' through the early 90's, kicked ass.

killer live bar-band rocker with anti-drug message

their most popular song, live, a decade after it was released, but still cool

If you have any (rather obscure) bands that haven't been beaten to death by radio I would love to hear them.

Check out a band called "Missouri" - they issued two LPs in the 1970s, and had some minor radio airplay with a song called "Movin' On" that's on both. I prefer the longer version from their first, self-titled album on Panama Records out of Kansas City. A CD was issued a few years ago including most songs from both albums, you might be able to find it on Amazon or eBay.
 
Cowboy.....early to mid 70's.....on Capricorn Records.
Southern country-rock band that went.....nowhere?
Although Eric Clapton did record their "Please Be With Me" for his 461 Ocean Avenue LP.

here it is thanks.
 
I like a band called Mount Rushmore, circa late 60s-early 70s. The style is guitar (fuzz) heavy, blues/rock. Check out "High On."

I have heard this more than once on the KSHE Klassics Show...one of my favorites!

Also,

let me add Spirit's The 12 Dreams of Dr. Sardonicus, triumvirat's illusions on a Double Dimple, and anything by JD Blackfoot
 
Dig the Groovies.

"Teenage Head" is a great album. After Roy Loney left, they had a different sound. Still good - less rockabilly.

If you can find a copy of Lookin' for Trouble by Toronto, pick it up. Hard to find even in Toronto. Released in '80 on SGR and distibuted by A&M. Solid kickass bar tunes. They released a couple of other albums but never captured the raw feel from the first one, got kinda keyboardish. Too bad, had a real tight guitar duo.
 
Lemme add a couple more?:

Nantucket (hit-Heartbreaker)
JF Murphy and Salt (Hit-The last Illusion) [if anyone's got this, can they PLEASE make me a analog or high rez digital dub of it???]
Marillion
Mama's Pride

Thanks, David....great choice
Spirit had some good records...try to find the 2 record set "Spirit of 76" a little weird and spacey but cool
Saw them a few times and they rock

I like Spirit a lot too, but they were not obscure at all. They were "head music" for sure:smoke:, but they had a few radio hits as well. Randy California was a legendary guitarist who learned a lot of licks from Hendrix. The drummer, "Cassidy", held some noteriety in the Jazz world, if I am not mistaken.

They were around from the 60s to the 90s and had a lot of GREAT albums; mostly their work from the 60's IMHO.:music:

you are spot on :thmbsp:

Randy California also influenced Jimmy Page (as the story goes)

oops, sorry they're not more obscure.

I have the Duane Allman Anthology record...very tasty.

I would love to find that anthology on vinyl. His guitar work on "Somebody Loan me a Dime" is phenomenal. IMHO that is the best work ever done by Boz Skaggs, and I would suppose that his performance was inspired by Duane's guitar licks.

Also a :thmbsp: to David for the Triumvirat call - That spent many hours under the needle in my HS/college years.

Regards,
