One of those songs that's rarely bandied about in conversation.

Fair enough, but it was one of the biggest songs of the 80s.

Keeping up the Oz theme. Apologies to those who read the fave songs of 70s/80s thread a few months back, but these qualify for this thread too:

Message by Sun (1972). Featuring an 18-year-old Renee Geyer on vocals.


In the Window of Your Love by Wendy Saddington (RIP ) and Jeff St John (1972)


Warnings Moving Clockwise by Do Re Mi (1985)


Yes Sir I Can Boogie by Not Drowning, Waving (c1985). Not complete sadly.


For A 1000 Years by Sea Stories (1990)

Seriously, one of They Might Be Giants' most well known songs as obscure?

 

[Drugs Are Bad Mackay?]

 

[Iskender Time]

It's a crime that Ed Kuepper is obscure.

[CLUBMEDhurst]

Sheesh, mosta my rekkid collection could be considered obscure. I'll kick off with some late 60s, early 70s psychrock.

From their criminally ignored debut (and only) LP, Yesterday's Children


Didn't think christian rock could be so goooood


Power trio Parish Hall released only one album, fetches a high price these days


Edgar Broughton Band

Would not put it in the obscure category either
From memory,it charted fairly well when it was first released
