Their ep has over a million views on youtube. Still think that's obscure? LOL

I dig it. Thanks!

Cool. Not that I work for him or anything but Greg Walker has it over on synphonic(in the US section).

Approximately 2006-2010 Aarhus band called Panicphobia. They released the EP "Handle With Care - Might Panic" through the Dutch label WM Recordings:

Best track is probably "Die Heart", whereas the funniest is "What Trees Think".

I'm all out of love for Air Supply.  You people are cruel torturing us with this drivel.
 
 

LOL. AOR seems to be the ultimate anti-prog but personally i don't think it's that bad. I even have an Air Supply GH in my collection!

OK how did you figure it out?  I guess I'll be listening to Air Supply tomorrow.

Here's another one from the 90's: Makkiwhipdies. I guarantee this is one of the craziest things you will ever hear(in a good way). 



Listen to the other one on youtube also.

This is equally crazy:

Buckwheat Strangers were a Quebec symphonic power quartet who were tragically under promoted by their label, Green Armadillo Records.  They released one 45 rpm single in 1970, The Pools of the Dark Cataract, and briefly toured Scandinavia in '71.

I know people have heard of them, but both Plini and Intervals are cruelly under-appreciated. Plini's Handmade Cities (2016) and Intervals' The Way Forward (2017) are both outstanding prog albums that deserve more love.
I use they/them pronouns (feel free to ask me about this!)

Check out my music on my bandcamp!

Hi,

I really think that most of the folks here, probably hear too much, almost to the point of not even remembering the name of the band a week later ... 

But the worst part is not the new material we never heard ... is the constant commenting on MOR material that does not merit a discussion here and gets one! That tends to hide and cloud the real good stuff on the "unknown" bands!

Just wait ... another Clapton Poll tomorrow or next week!
Music is not just for listening ... it is for LIVING ... you got to feel it to know what's it about! Not being told!

I would also like to give a tip of the hat to german fusion band Contact, who had one self titled debut album on an obscure label in 1971. They later became Contact Trio, who were a tiny bit less obscure.

I've suggested many here. Anything from Pole records was unknown here. Bands like Pumpkin, Mammut, Rainbow Ffolly, Twink, Salem Mass, Peggy's Leg, Grannie and Orange Peel are extremely rare and command some of the highest prices for collectors. Are they great? Naw but not bad either.
