R&P, how obscure can you get?!


Question: R&P, how obscure can you get!?
I'm looking for bands from the 70's and 80's that weren't the Stones or Led Zeppelin!. Name the band and a song they did!. Hard Rock, Glam, and Metal, please!. No pop, no rap!.

An easy example would be Nazareth---"Hair of the Dog"Www@Enter-QA@Com

Saraya are pretty obscure!. Talk about a mismarketed band!. They were lumped in with the 80s hair bands, and it killed their career!.

The video for their biggest hit is linked below!. Look and listen to them!. They're nowhere near a hair metal band!. They're cut from the same cloth as the Black Crowes or Melissa Etheridge, only a little edgier!.Www@Enter-QA@Com

obscure you say!?

Crow - Cottage Cheese
Arthur Lee - Everytime I Look Up
Weed - Weed
Pollen - Pulsar
El Dubi - Dakila
Boomerang - Juke It
Curved Air - You Know
Dragonfly - Blue Monday
Banchee - 3,3 Song
Trees - Streets of Derry
Thundermug - Where Am I
Peacepipe - Sea of Nightmares
Groundhogs - Junkman

There's plenty more!.!.!.Www@Enter-QA@Com

deke, above, beat me to the punch with saraya!. it was the first band that came to mind for me!. his answer is on target!. their record company really blew it with this great band!.

i'll try again with:
touch - don't you know what love is!? 1980!.
survivor - poor mans son - 1980!. (prior to the household name status they would later achieve)!.
danny wilde - isn't it enough!? / 1986!.
taxxi - i'm leaving / mid - eighties, i believe!.
the babys - head first / 1979!. obscure today but all over the radio in its day!.

and yes, darth is famous for coming up with sh*t that i've never heard of before!!
