The Recommend One Obscure Song Thread

[tinx]

From a window promised so much, they were being hyped as the next Oasis three singles and a weak album and that was it. shame cause I thought they were pretty good.

The B-side to the Oasis song Roll with it. Sky Sports used it on Goals on Sunday years ago. Name escapes me now.

Also Fade Away by the same band (not Slide Away)

think that is 'Talk Tonight' which is absolute quality.

 

[tinx]

Chinese Burn by Heavy Stereo.

Heavy Stereo were the band Gem form Oasis wa sin before he joined Oasis.

 

[cheeseroll]

Memories - Earth & Fire

 

[cheeseroll]

Soldier Soldier - Spizz Energy

 

[Gwylan]

'Where Were You' - The Mekons

I thought that there'd be nothing on here that I'd heard of, but I actually have that.

Good record.

As for obscure songs, I could bore for England on this subject: there are just too many.

 

[Kylies Stunt Arse]

Sitting At Home - Honeycrack is a great lost indie tune.

 

[Albion Edd]

I think that might be Rockin' Chair, Talk tonight and Aquiesce are the best oasis b sides

Another great b side is the delaney by the libertines

Baphomet by AngelWitch

Like others, I could sit here and do a list that runs into thousands, but will stick with:

Red Guitars, Good Technology

 

[Man of Harveys]

Don't ask me why but I really love Germany's 1979 Eurovision song contest entry "Dschingis Khan" by a group imaginatively ALSO called "Dschingis Khan".

It sounds like a very, very poor man's Boney M, the lyrics are the without doubt the cheesiest ever recorded ("He sired seven children/in one night/and he could only laugh/at his opponents!") And the group are guilty of sporting a large bearded dancer caked in eye shadow who cossack-danced and little else, like some weird 1970s Teutonic Bez. But I LOVE it.

Chinese Burn by Heavy Stereo.

Heavy Stereo were the band Gem form Oasis wa sin before he joined Oasis.

they did a few gigs with us back in 95? . . . . .they where generally piss poor, but had a few moments

I'd suggest

Chauffer by Black cat bones (2 of which formed Free)

Freelance fiend by LeafHound

Wayfaring stranger by HP Lovecraft

 

[Tom Bombadil]

If I was afraid/Coda - Nova mob

 

[tinx]

Sitting At Home - Honeycrack is a great lost indie tune.

I have this on 7 inch and the cover is a couple of old people Naked.

 

[Kylies Stunt Arse]

That's the one!

Great tune.

 

[The Large One]

Would have to say a northern soul monster... I'm On My Way - Dean Parrish. But I could have picked one of many from that genre. It was a minor hit in 1975 (got to about No. 44) after gaining popularity at Wigan Casino, having been originally released in 1968.

 

[chips and gravy]

Pallas - Just a Memory

 

[Don Tmatter]

'Natural Life' by Natural Life
'Get Duffy' - Primal Scream

Oh shit, that's two

 

[lost in london]

your mother's got a penis - goldie looking chain

 

[Barnet Seagull]

Barry Diston & Lee Amos - Fuckin' Insane
