Obscure Bands II

Since the original Obscure Band post seemed popular, I thought I would post a followup.

Here are some artists that you may not have heard of, but are worth a listen. Some are just more forgotten than obscure. Please leave your favorite obscure and forgotten artists in the comments and I may use them on future posts.

If you like posts about music, you should definitely check out The Music Chamber which is blogged by Michelle.

Chris deBurgh – Maybe not completely obscure as he had a hit with “Lady in Red” and some interest in “Don’t Pay the Ferryman“. He’s one of my favorite artists of all time. He had many other songs that were just as good as his popular hits, if not better, including A Spaceman Came Travelling“, “Patricia the Stripper“, “This Song is for You“, “Lonely Sky“, “The Tower“, “The Painter” (a bit dark), and “Spanish Train” (below), one of my favorites.
