Your favourite obscure songs other people have never heard of!

[sometimesmovingforwards]

I love Frazey Ford but nobody at home in the UK has ever heard of her!

So feel free to share your obscure songs other people have never heard of!!

Anything by Ben Folds. More obscure in the UK than he should be.
Also, randomly having seen someone mention Billy Bragg, his song called Walk Away Renee.

Also while I'm here 😂
One Last Dance by Us the Duo

And Lowswimmer by Hailaker ❤️

I have the single too!

My copy is the Slim Dusty original!

Love this one!

It’s because it wasn’t obscure. It was a massive hit.

Love this song! Beautiful, sad, positive and uplifting all at the same time ..

The above are Northern soul records.

The Northern Soul genre must contain hundreds of recordings that the general public are largely unaware of. Personally, I like:

Love Love Love by Bobby Hebb
If You Ask Me by Jerry Williams
I Really Love You by The Tomangoes
That's Not Love by Holly St. James

Spot on if not thousands.
Northern soul has been my passion for 40+ years.i could keep naming records to my heart's content.😁

Yes it was a huge hit at the beginning of the 90s.

Mine would be

Maria Tambien by Khruangbin

And one DS and I always sing together..

The Big Tragedy by Johnny Lance.

Gosh @PickaStar that's so up my street in terms of music taste!

Are you a fan of Shawn Lee's Ping Pong Orchestra? You might like this one..

Mansun - Closed for Business

Holy moly that gives me memories about an American ex of mine- I used to LOVE that song but can't listen to it now 🙈

OMG - massive flashbacks 🤣

Very big.

Many years later MySpace was launched and I entered their Haiku competition.

I'll leave you all hanging...

This is lovely - thanks for sharing

'My vagina is eight miles wide
Everybody can come inside'

Or something like that. Going to look it up now 🙂

Amazing thread OP, I've listened to a lot of the songs that have been posted and added them to my playlist!

The one that I'll add - and I really hope you listen to - is 'A drop in the Ocean by Ron Pope'

His songs are amazing and I highly recommend everyone to listen to them.
