Martin's picks: Illwill - Evilution, Sweeney Todd - If Wishes Were Horses, NoMeansNo - All Roads Lead to Ausfahrt, Luxuria - Beast Box, Agents of Oblivion - Agents of Oblivion Pete's picks: Shotgun Ltd. -self-titled (1971), The Golden Grass-Absolutely (2018), Koch Marshall Trio-Toby Arrives (2018), Mirthrander-For You the Old Woman (1976), Highway Robbery-For Love or Money (1972)
I flipped my lid when Martin picked NoMeansNo! One of my all-time favorite bands. Martin isn't too far off by saying that NMN repels their fans, but they really have a huge cult following! More than once I crossed the border to see NMN in Toronto because they RARELY toured the eastern half of the US. My favorites: Wrong from 1989, 0 + 2 =1 from 1991, and 1995s Worldhood of the World (As Such).
Try these gems 1, Dirty Tricks Night Man.... Mid 70's hard rock. 2, Alkatrazz, Young Blood.... NWOBHM. 3, Limelight, self titled.. Mixture of prog, rock, mtal. 4, Radiohead, My Iron Lung, EP....Apart from title track, it compiles tracks that never made it on The Bends album.. 5, Hellanbach, Now Hear this....A bit like UK's answer to VH.
That's when it all clicked that it was a big joke for me too. The thing was, Martin mentioned that the Canadian band Klaatu was at one time thought to actually be the Beatles, and that part was true! The Kate Bush thing was just so ridiculous, I actually had to turn the show off for a bit.
Really enjoyed the April 1st show, the Kate Bush quip made me laugh for personal reasons. My first band changed its name many times. We did about a dozen gigs calling ourselves "Kate's Bush" before a lawyers letter was delivered. It explained that their client, Ms Bush, appreciated the humour but we must sease & dissist. Got that letter framed, and still makes me smile 30+ years later. Oh to be 17 and fearless again.
Mr P mentioned NoMeansNo before, which made me check them out, and I have never looked back. If only it wasn't so damn hard to get hold of their albums.
Love this series, there are so many obscure gems out there! Here are my picks: The Spirit of Christmas - Lies to Live By (Prog/Psych Rock, 1974) Creepmime - Chiaroscuro (Death/Thrash/Prog Metal, 1995) Decameron - My Shadow… (Death/Prog Metal, 1996) The Viola Crayola - Music: Breathing of Statues (Prog/Fusion, 1974) El Reloj - El Reloj (Prog Rock, 1976) Crimson Relic - Purgatory’s Reign (Death Metal, 1996) Landberk - One Man Tell’s Another (Prog Rock, 1994) Etna - Etna (Prog/Fusion, 1975) Automatic Fine Tuning - A.F.T. (Prog Rock, 1976) Wild Turkey - Battle Hymn (Hard/Prog Rock, 1971) The Crown - Eternal Death (Death/Black Metal, 1997) Master’s Apprentices - A Toast to Panama Red (Prog/Paych Rock, 1972) Bolder Damn - Mourning (Hard/Blues Rock, 1971) Marsupilami - Marsupilami (Prog Rock, 1970) Trettioåriga Kriget - Krigssång (Prog Rock, 1975) Obliveon - Nemesis (Death/Prog Metal, 1993) Revenant - Prophecies of a Dying World (Death/Thrash Metal, 1991) Deceased - As the Weird Travel On (Death/Thrash Metal, 2005) De De Lind - Io non so da dove vengo e non so dove mai andrò. Uomo è il nome che mi han dato. (Prog Rock, 1973) I’ll definitely be checking these out. Thanks Pete and Martin! 🤘🤘
Wild Turkey's Turkey album is pretty good, same with Boulder Damn's Mourning...From Master’s Apprentices I also have Now That It's Over & Choice Cuts, also pretty good...The Viola Crayola's Music, Breathing Of Statues is a pretty weird prog/fusion mashup but does have a couple of killer tunes, "I Know You Don't Have A Car" & "Mr Leroy, Pepe' Is Lost". "The Last One On Earth" isn't bad either (sounds a little like live Mahavishnu). The last track is straight Zappa
@@wolf1977 Yeah, all cool stuff. “Choice Cuts” is fantastic as well but I think it’s a little more well-known. I guess Master’s Apprentices are a pretty obscure band overall though. I actually haven’t heard any Wild Turkey albums after “Battle Hymn” yet, I should check that one out!
Christmas and Spirit of Christmas as well as Reign Ghost are the products of one of Canadas greatest unknown rock music giants, Bob Bryden. He also produced early Forgotten Rebels. I knew Bob in the early 80's when we made classic rock wall hanging posters for Star Records in Hamilton where Bob was manager. We also made a backdrop for his band at the time called Benzene Jag. Saw him open for the Forgotten Rebels in Hamilton .
I am so happy to see somebody talk about No Means No!!! Love that Band! Saw them probably a dozen times back in early 90's. They used to switch instruments part way through a song... Just because they could (drummer starts playing bass, guitar player plays drums etc).
I got the April Fools joke with this episode last week; where I got duped was that on the first day (April 1st) I thought your Song for Spring series was also an April Fool joke initially 🤣
Great epsiode, Heard of some things and not others and the music. Need to check out the stuff, Highway Robbery band Pete heard of and that album. Been ages but need to relisten to the album. I know it was so good. Take care and always thanks Pete and Martin.
Popoff and Pardo are at it again with a return to the 'reality' of the 'true' Part 2 of Obsure Album Gems. Gents, finally the 'real' second episode of obscure gems though must admit I couldn't stop laughing at the April 1 episode. Pete, hoping you will post the choices by you and Martin in the comments but happy to rewatch if needed. Was too busy ordering one or two of those discussed while trying to watch the episode as well. And though it may be a challenge for the two of you, it would be great fun to hear your, as Martin says, "favorite bands of all time" choices for either a top 10, 20 or maybe even thirty. But in any event, thanks for sharing these obscure gems with us. Fridays are always made better sharing time with the two of you talking music and albums. There ya go!
Also check out Barry Goudreau's Engine Room/The Road, Delp And Goudreau's s/t & Rockin' Away, and of course Orion The Hunter. RTZ was also a good band, I have their Lost And Found & Return To Zero. More of a curiosity really (but a "must" if you're a Boston/Goudreau completist) is Ernie and the Automatics with him & Sib Hashian
Another great, obscure, heavy obscurity. Thanks Pete. Really digging Highway Robbery. It's pretty heavy and proto-metal, with CSN type harmonies. Still enjoying Brutus as well.
I live in the Florida Panhandle, three hours away from New Orleans, so we definitely knew of Acid Bath and the whole New Orleans sludge scene around here. I have both Acid Bath CDs, and I think I had that Agents of Oblivion CD at one time. I wish I still did.
Oh man, "Roxy Roller" by Sweeney Todd...that's another tune that you guys reminded me of that was huge here in Canada...humming it right now, lol. I think it was on a K-Tel compilation commercial that aired all the time. I feel old saying it, but "thanks for the memories," lol.
The first of these I’m checking out is Highway Robbery, and parts of it reminded me of the album Second Damnation by The Damnation of Adam Blessing. That’s one I dig, another cool early ‘70s American hard rock obscurity. Not so amped-up in the instrumental fireworks department as Highway Robbery, but more polished, with stronger vocals and good songwriting.
My obscure pick of the day that's immediately coming to mind is Blue Matter by Savoy Brown. Great British Blues rock! Most of the members of this band ended up in Foghat!
Love these obscure gems shows, keep them coming. One of mine that Martin might be familiar with is, Armand Schaubroeck - "A Lot Of People Would Like To See Armand Schaubroeck.... Dead" His first album released in 1972 was a triple !! album set. Basically a rock opera chronicling his time spent in Elmira, and the upstate NY. penal system. After his early life of crime he went on to open up the famous "House of Guitars" music shop just outside Rochester. Fascinating album along with his whole life story.
My obscure pick contribution is From Good Homes - 'Open Up the Sky' album from 1995. They are probably most often labeled as folk-rock, and that;s fairly accurate. Multiple vocalists, fun lyrics, woodwinds. They were popular on the east cost of the US back in the late 80s-early 90s - a great live band. My two favorite tunes on the album are 'Cool Me Down' and 'Head' if you want a sampler... I wonder if Pete maybe came across them - they played up all over the east coast back then...
Massive fan of the Golden grass and very cool dudes too. I've become good friends with their drummer Adam Otracina who is in loads of cool bands. They are recording a new album I believe
The Golden Grass sounded right up my alley, so I checked 'em out. Pretty good stuff. Reminds me of a somewhat lighter version of Fuzz (the Ty Segall band) and maybe White Denim out of Austin...
Boy. Do I miss the old days of the “cut out albums”! (They got their name because the corner would be cut off from the album.) you could go into discount store and sort thru an island of albums for around a buck. You could take your chance on any band and discover all these obscure gems that the record labels dumped on. If it sucked you just chucked it. It was only $1!
The band that opened for Sabbath was just called Highway. Their singer, John Elstar, played harmonica on Swinging The Chain. I have that Mirthrandir cd. Got it from Amazon a year or so ago. Ever hear of a band called Lift? They're a '70s Prog band from Atlanta, Georgia. They had an album out called Caverns In Your Brain. Their original(male) singer left, and was replaced by a female singer. So, they switched from sounding like Yes/Genesis to sounding like Renaissance. The second lineup's recordings were released as The Moment Of Hearing, along with the songs on Caverns. I also have a cd by a band called Babylon. They're a Genesis-inspired band from Florida. Their album was remixed on cd by Kevin Gilbert. Both Lift and Babylon were reissued by Syn-Phonic. I ordered those cds directly from Greg Walker. Forgot to mention Yezda Ufra. An American Prog band from the '70s that sounded like Gentle Giant. I also ordered that from Amazon. Interestingly, I just recently discovered that current Kansas singer Ronnie Platt sang on Yezda's Nearfest live album
I have one Lift album called Caverns Of Your Brain, not bad. 1977 I think. 3 tracks stand out for me: "Simplicity", "Caverns" & "Trippin' Over The Rainbow". It's very psyche prog
Howdy, I might very well be the dude who once or twice mentioned Nomeansno in the comment sections. I think I once called you, dear Mr. Popoff out for wearing a cool NMN-Shirt. Thanks for mentioning them. It was a joy to listen to your thoughts! If dear Mr. Pardo reads this: I'd be very interested in your thoughts on them. I think "One" would be your kind of album, as well. It might be their purely proggiest. Anyway. cheers and thanks for another great episode to the both of you.
In reference to Prog in the late 70's, all three of the following by Rush went Platinum (eventually) in the US (& Canada): 2112 (1976), A Farewell to Kings (1977), Hemispheres (1978)
I downloaded Highway Robbery when Pete mentioned them a year or so ago. Tried doing research and only found one interview with John Livingston but there is not much on them. They spent a year preparing for the album, recorded the album but it turned out they were not very good on stage and did not impress a room full of booking agent, so they never took off and disbanded.
Can't wait to hear Koch Marshall. Martin likes NoMeansNo, surprised he's never mentioned Fugazi. My pick; Scoredatura (all of their 22 songs; 2 albums, 2 singles on TH-cam/Spotify). Their name might be misleading; Hot-rodded, stripped-down, but still lush and a bit modern proggish metal/hard rock. All instrumental, awesome soloing, staccato/djenty riffs. Modern, but seeming to pay homage to 70's fusion and metal/rock.
I wandered into Raji's in Hollywood back in the late 80's and No Means No was playing. I'd never heard of them, it was just a spontaneous thing. It was an amazing show. Not my cup of tea for stuff I want to listen to on a regular basis, but the live show was an amazing high-energy experience.
Love that no means no was mentioned. I have all their albums and still listen to them this day. They were absolute geniuses. Most of their albums came out on Jello biafras alternative tentacles records. I highly recommend them
For some really good psych-surf check out San Francisco's The Mermen. Food For Other Fish (1994) & A Glorious Lethal Euphoria (1995) are great to start with.
5. M.A.R.S. (MacAlpine, Aldridge, Rock, Sarzo) - Project: Driver (1986) This album is pretty interesting to check out, I mean, this lineup is impressive! We've got Tony MacAlpine, Tommy Aldridge (ex-Ozzy Osbourne, Whitesnake), Rudy Sarzo (ex-Ozzy Osbourne, ex-Whitesnake, ex-Dio), and then-unknown singer Rob Rock (ex-Axel Rudi Pell, Impellitteri). This album is filled with killer songs like 'Nations on Fire', 'Writings on the Wall', 'Slave to My Touch', 'Unknown Survivor', and my two favorite songs on the album: 'Stand Up and Fight' and 'Nostradamus'. Overall, a really solid album that should've been more well known. That supergroup could go on, if it wasn't for the fact that David Coverdale invited Sarzo and Aldridge to join Whitesnake and promote its 1987 album. 4. Demons & Wizards - Demons & Wizards (2000) A pretty controversial pick, not because of Jon Schaffer (we'll get to him soon), but because some already know this project. But because of Jon's career destruction by rioting the U.S. Capitol and, consequently, being arrested, the project was dissolved and (probably) will stay in obscurity forever. Nonetheless, this album is an Iced Earth "update", because this album is pretty much what Iced Earth would sound like if Hansi Kürsch would be the vocalist. There are amazing songs like 'Heaven Denies', 'Poor Man's Crusade', 'Blood on My Hands', 'The Whistler', 'Tear Down the Wall', 'Gallows Pole', 'My Last Sunrise', and my two favorite songs: 'Winter of Souls' and the emotional and tragic song 'Fiddler on the Green'. If you like Iced Earth and Blind Guardian, but you haven't listened to this album, well, this is your chance to check it out! 3. Virgo - Virgo (Matos/Paeth) (2001) Ok, this is the last supergroup/project on my list, I swear. This time around, it features German producer Sascha Paeth (Avantasia, Kamelot, Shaman, Edguy, Epica) and Brazilian singer André Matos † (ex-Viper, ex-Angra, Shaman, ex-Symfonia), who (IMO) was in his peak in this album, together with Shaman's 2002 debut, 'Ritual', and the 2003 live album they did, 'RituAlive'. This album is the complete opposite of the power metal they're well-known for, in fact, this album has a lot of classic rock influences, more specifically, Queen. The songs on this album are really catchy and melodic, with highlights such as 'Crazy Me?', 'Take Me Home', 'Baby Doll', 'No Need to Have an Answer', 'Discovery', and my favorite song: 'Blowing Away'. Overall, a really enjoyable album! 2. Adrian Benegas - Diamonds in the Dark (2021, EP) Now we're going to PARAGUAY! Yep, pretty sure you didn't see that coming. This EP, along with the 2019 album 'The Revenant', was produced by Sascha Paeth (there he is again!) and Adrian himself. The concept is fantastic, it's about being in a tough situation when you're not valued, but you still stand up and fight. The 5 songs, especially 'Orphan of Life', are equally hooky, inspiring, amazing, and worth checking out! As Adrian himself says: "It is interesting how a diamond is just a piece of coal, which has withstood time and pressure, and through difficult situations it has become a treasure. By circumventing and overcoming suffering, you can rewrite your story." 1. Tito & Tarantula - Tarantism (1997) So this time around, we're in something completely different from the bands we mentioned. It's a chicano rock/blues rock/latin rock band that I think should've been more and more well known to everybody, 'cos they are really enjoyable and chilling to listen to. Songs like 'After Dark', 'Smiling Karen', 'Strange Face (of Love)', 'Angry Cockroaches (Cucarachas Enojadas)', 'Back to the House (That Love Built)', and 'Killing Just for Fun' are pretty much a summary of what this album's about. If you just wanna chill out either if you're upset/angry or if you're in a barbecue or even if you're driving, this is one of the albums for you! P.S.: Pete and Martin, can you please do a part 4 someday? LOL
For the April Fools video, I initially thought Martin had suffered some kind of brain injury and his memory was shot and I was horribly worried for him. But then I quickly figured it out. :D
I was actually listening to the Highway Robbery album in my car the other day. I also love Dax Riggs' solo stuff, so I'll have to check out the Agents of Oblivion album.
Great to see the Ill Will recommendation! Think Martin forgot to mention that Andy La Roque is the guitarist and main songwriter (I think) on that album. Got an old interview with Andy from the 90s in a swedish metal magazine before the release and spent years hunting the album down. Obscure but so good!
Some of the bands I wasn't familiar with, so didn't catch some errors. Also listening a couple of days later doesn't help (date doesn't show on screen, only how long ago video released). But was thinking I've never heard you two make so many errors. I did look at comments, but took a few before I saw an April Fool's reference. Nice job! Don't know how you kept a straight face
Awesome No Means No mention, Martin! I gotta give Magazine a shot, I know that John McGeogh was in the band at some point and he's already my fave guitarist of the post-punk era based on his work with Siouxsie & the Banshees alone. So I was always curious to hear his stuff with Magazine, plus now you've given me extra incentive to check 'em out. Definitely will do.
Thank you so much for talking about nomeansno. They are so great. Wrong! is such a perfect album. I really hope you are right about a documentary being forthcoming.
My obscure pick is Confessor/Condemned 1991.Its an album that requires alot from the listener and alot of spins for it to"click".Most will never get it,and I understand.You cant really headbang to it,it has odd timing and most dont like the vocals,but I just love it.Anyhow,great vid as usual.I really look forward to yall every friday.🙂🤘
We like the rambling. That's why I'm here! To learn about music I haven't discovered yet! Really love Nomeansno. Only discovered them in the last ten years or so, somehow. I had friends who woudl always tell me about them but because I came to like punk kind of late in the gameI never really paid attention. Turns out I was really missing out and damn, I so wish I had gotten a chance to see them live. Such a fun, crazy band. The prog band i would compare them to though isn't so much Rush, but King Crimson. I sometimes hear a lot of Fripp in there.
It would be cool to see the top ten bands video! It could even be done across other SOT programs, if you two are going to suffer why should the others get off? Great video!!
All I can say about that one is "Funk Meat"...Greg Koch has a BUNCH of great solo records too, Double The Gristle (With The Tone Controls) is probably my favorite along with 13 X 12. All 8 that I have are really good
1) Herbie Hancock - Crossings (1972) 2) Billy Cobham - Inner Conflicts (1978) 3) Miles Davis - Dark Magus (1974) 4) John McLaughlin - Electric Dreams (1979) 5) Yonin Bayashi - Golden Picnics (1976)
Pete & Martin thanks for introducing some phenomenol obscure music. Pete, the Shotgun Ltd band is excellent - on Number Two there is this Uriah Heep vibe that goes into. Doors like jam. Mirthrandir is a lost classic and Liking Golden Grass. Martin thanks for the intro to Sweeney Todd and Forgot how great Magazine were ( the angular guitars always reminded me of Television and Dream Syndicate ) Here are a few suggestions Chango - early 1970s Latin rock ( think Santna harder edged )
I made myself a "70's Latin Rock" (excluding Santana) playlist a while back & Chango is on it. If you're into that then also: Azteca, Barrabas, Benitez, Black Sugar, Dakila, Dug Dug's, El Chicano, Malo (maybe the best band here), Mandrill, Mother Night, Osibisa, Sapo & Telegraph Avenue
Their s/t record is pretty good, too bad that was it. BTW Hall & Oates' manager Tommy Motolla handled them. Keyboard player Michael Maniscalco was in a bunch of other bands. The band formed from the remains of Long Island's The Illusion (I've got 5 of their albums - If It's So & Together (As The Way Of Life) are very good) & Barnaby Bye (another great lesser-known band with 3 great albums)
Just a little minutiae for you, Martin…the girl that was in deadboy and the elephantmen with Dax now owns and operates a record store with her husband in Lafayette, Louisiana called Lagniappe Records. Look ‘em up on all the social media sites.
I love how Martin throws pete a hardball with Punk music and Pete throws Martin a Harball with Instrumentals. Thats how one another review new and interesting Music
You guys are awesome! You totally "got me". I was a little suspicious after you said "Badfnger IS the Beatles". You guys are great. Martin Popoff and Pete Pardo should get Oscars for your performances. YOU GOT ME!!! hahaha Keep up the fantastic videos Kenny from Jersey 👍👍
i definitely did not get the inside joke for the 1 april edition; however neither did i get upset. that's what the day is all about (next year i will be aware...). i still enjoyed the mentions in that episode for what they were......love me some NoMeansNo...
I appreciate the sense of humor regarding last week's show. The thing is I stopped caring about April Fool's Day and April Fool's pranks when I left grade school. Other than Badfinger and The J Giles Band, those bands were just as obscure to me as the ones you mentioned today. Sorry I didn't get the joke.
lol, the last one was brilliant, you got me (which seems unbelievable on reflection) I was just so confused about what was happening!! It worked so well because I wasn't that familiar with some of the choices myself. .. anyway it was brilliantly 'acted'
Funny: I found that Golden Grass album a few weeks ago in the sales bin and picked it up. Great album! I've had a bunch of No Means No albums, but sold them (shouldn't have!), much too noisy for me. Cheers.
Hey Pete. My suggestion for you to start with one song in the Nomeansno library that might make you a fan is "Victory" off Small Parts Isolated and Destroyed. Prog punk in my estimation. Living in Victoria I've seen them several times.....amazing live
I love that Agents of Oblivion album. At the time it came out I tended to run a million miles from anything called "post-grunge", but this one had slightly off-kilter elements and combined enough influences to make it interesting. Definitely hints of Alice in Chains and Soundgarden in there, but also some psychedelia, tiny bit of blues and a touch of Bowie/glam rock. A swampier version of Mother Love Bone or something.
Okay, I understand now. I was busy and distracted but the 4/1 show was on in the background. Martin said something about Krokus being obscure, and I'm like WTF. I didn't know.
Martin that Snowy Shaw book is fantastic and signed. He released a 2021 recently album after releasing a track per month. Great album and bought 2 t shirts what a guy check it out
Kate Bush gave it away for me when I saw Sixteen Stone! And Knights of the New Thunder sounding like Slayer! 🤣🤣🤣 SO GLAD you brought up ACID BATH! Saw them live in the 90's on a fluke in a little bar, had no idea who they were and they blew us away! We got to meet them and got Kite String signed! Became one of my favorite bands ever! Someone had a cool comparison, they said "Imagine Alice in Chains if they came from the Bayou!" Love Dax Riggs, thanks for bringing them up! And I'd put BOTH of their albums as my hidden gems, check them OUT! They should have been WAY bigger IMHO! Love Agents of Oblivion too! 🤘🤘
I heard the desolation angels comment and thought “ ok that had to be a mistake” but then questioned myself even though I knew better. Everything else went over my head, color me stupid I guess
Martin's picks:
Illwill - Evilution, Sweeney Todd - If Wishes Were Horses, NoMeansNo - All Roads Lead to Ausfahrt, Luxuria - Beast Box, Agents of Oblivion - Agents of Oblivion
Pete's picks: Shotgun Ltd. -self-titled (1971), The Golden Grass-Absolutely (2018), Koch Marshall Trio-Toby Arrives (2018), Mirthrander-For You the Old Woman (1976), Highway Robbery-For Love or Money (1972)
Tremendous/ thank you, I always go “ back to the list. Huge help 👍💯
I flipped my lid when Martin picked NoMeansNo! One of my all-time favorite bands. Martin isn't too far off by saying that NMN repels their fans, but they really have a huge cult following!
More than once I crossed the border to see NMN in Toronto because they RARELY toured the eastern half of the US.
My favorites: Wrong from 1989, 0 + 2 =1 from 1991, and 1995s Worldhood of the World (As Such).
Try these gems
1, Dirty Tricks Night Man.... Mid 70's hard rock.
2, Alkatrazz, Young Blood.... NWOBHM.
3, Limelight, self titled.. Mixture of prog, rock, mtal.
4, Radiohead, My Iron Lung, EP....Apart from title track, it compiles tracks that never made it on The Bends album..
5, Hellanbach, Now Hear this....A bit like UK's answer to VH.
Golden Grass! I played the shit out of Coming Back Again back in 2016. Discovered them via the mighty TH-cam algorithm.
@@anypoxynames Alkatrazz - NWOBHM (from Kent): Their 1980 album certainly worth a listen.
I nearly fell for it last week until "badfinger being the beatles" then it clicked, well thought out prank guys. Kudos
That's when it all clicked that it was a big joke for me too. The thing was, Martin mentioned that the Canadian band Klaatu was at one time thought to actually be the Beatles, and that part was true! The Kate Bush thing was just so ridiculous, I actually had to turn the show off for a bit.
Really enjoyed the April 1st show, the Kate Bush quip made me laugh for personal reasons. My first band changed its name many times. We did about a dozen gigs calling ourselves "Kate's Bush" before a lawyers letter was delivered. It explained that their client, Ms Bush, appreciated the humour but we must sease & dissist. Got that letter framed, and still makes me smile 30+ years later. Oh to be 17 and fearless again.
Kate's Bush 🤣🤣🤣
So glad I can watch stuff like this and check out obscure stuff so easily. It was harder back in the 80s as a teenager without internet.
of all the brilliant program types this maybe is my favourite. Some outstanding suggestions especially Koch Marshall Trio. Many thanks guys!!!
YAY - Martin mentioning NoMeansNo made my day. I actually think it was me who mentioned them in the YT comment section back then. Great show!
Hey Pete, Just watched the Kock Marshall Trio doing live in the studio Heed the Boogaloo Video..Man does Koch Marshall burn on that guitar..Amazing...
Acid Bath were cool, I have to check out that Agents of Oblivion album.
It's a truly great album! I would also recommend "We Sing of Only Blood or Love" by Dax
@@tonyziporlin4240 And "Say Goodnight to the World."
Thanks MARTIN/ PETE, more weekend homework. Great 👍 show 💯
Mr P mentioned NoMeansNo before, which made me check them out, and I have never looked back. If only it wasn't so damn hard to get hold of their albums.
Yes indeed. I have been trying to aquire the 'Wrong' album at a reasonable price for awhile now. Also love Dance of the Headless Bourgeoisie.

Thanks Pete and Martin! 🤘🤘
Wild Turkey's Turkey album is pretty good, same with Boulder Damn's Mourning...From Master’s Apprentices I also have Now That It's Over & Choice Cuts, also pretty good...The Viola Crayola's Music, Breathing Of Statues is a pretty weird prog/fusion mashup but does have a couple of killer tunes, "I Know You Don't Have A Car" & "Mr Leroy, Pepe' Is Lost". "The Last One On Earth" isn't bad either (sounds a little like live Mahavishnu). The last track is straight Zappa
@@wolf1977 Yeah, all cool stuff. “Choice Cuts” is fantastic as well but I think it’s a little more well-known. I guess Master’s Apprentices are a pretty obscure band overall though.
I actually haven’t heard any Wild Turkey albums after “Battle Hymn” yet, I should check that one out!
Christmas and Spirit of Christmas as well as Reign Ghost are the products of one of Canadas greatest unknown rock music giants, Bob Bryden. He also produced early Forgotten Rebels. I knew Bob in the early 80's when we made classic rock wall hanging posters for Star Records in Hamilton where Bob was manager. We also made a backdrop for his band at the time called Benzene Jag. Saw him open for the Forgotten Rebels in Hamilton .
@@danneeson7056 Cool! It’s nice to have some back story, hard to find much information on those guys.
I am so happy to see somebody talk about No Means No!!! Love that Band! Saw them probably a dozen times back in early 90's. They used to switch instruments part way through a song... Just because they could (drummer starts playing bass, guitar player plays drums etc).
Listening to that Golden Grass album now, Great Album Pete.
Love these types of shows guys!!!!
I got the April Fools joke with this episode last week; where I got duped was that on the first day (April 1st) I thought your Song for Spring series was also an April Fool joke initially 🤣
Great epsiode, Heard of some things and not others and the music. Need to check out the stuff, Highway Robbery band Pete heard of and that album. Been ages but need to relisten to the album. I know it was so good. Take care and always thanks Pete and Martin.
Popoff and Pardo are at it again with a return to the 'reality' of the 'true' Part 2 of Obsure Album Gems. Gents, finally the 'real' second episode of obscure gems though must admit I couldn't stop laughing at the April 1 episode. Pete, hoping you will post the choices by you and Martin in the comments but happy to rewatch if needed. Was too busy ordering one or two of those discussed while trying to watch the episode as well. And though it may be a challenge for the two of you, it would be great fun to hear your, as Martin says, "favorite bands of all time" choices for either a top 10, 20 or maybe even thirty. But in any event, thanks for sharing these obscure gems with us. Fridays are always made better sharing time with the two of you talking music and albums. There ya go!
Martin!! Thank you! That ILLWILL álbum is Amazing! Fresh, powerfull, groovie and catchy. Muchas gracias from Mallorca Island!
Some gems I have, Barry Godreau first solo album, first 2 albums by "Dare" and Moonflower Lane by Ty Tabor.
Also check out Barry Goudreau's Engine Room/The Road, Delp And Goudreau's s/t & Rockin' Away, and of course Orion The Hunter. RTZ was also a good band, I have their Lost And Found & Return To Zero. More of a curiosity really (but a "must" if you're a Boston/Goudreau completist) is Ernie and the Automatics with him & Sib Hashian
@@wolf1977 thanks, I have all those as well, except for Ernie and the automatics, which I'll check out, thanks.
@@ik8034 Honestly I didn't care for it that much, my main issue was the vocals. "The Good Times (Never Last)" is a pretty good tune
Enjoyed this! The mention of Mirthrandir made me think that an Obscure Album Gems episode of In the Prog Seat would be great. I’d watch!
Another great, obscure, heavy obscurity. Thanks Pete. Really digging Highway Robbery. It's pretty heavy and proto-metal, with CSN type harmonies. Still enjoying Brutus as well.
Shotgun Ltd is a great album. This and the Mangrove and Brutus suggestions from 2 weeks ago have been great discoveries for me.
The Mangrove album is fantastic.
Hell yes on the Golden Grass! Love me some 70's style hard rock power trio groovin' These guys scratch the itch.
I live in the Florida Panhandle, three hours away from New Orleans, so we definitely knew of Acid Bath and the whole New Orleans sludge scene around here. I have both Acid Bath CDs, and I think I had that Agents of Oblivion CD at one time. I wish I still did.
Oh man, "Roxy Roller" by Sweeney Todd...that's another tune that you guys reminded me of that was huge here in Canada...humming it right now, lol. I think it was on a K-Tel compilation commercial that aired all the time. I feel old saying it, but "thanks for the memories," lol.
The first of these I’m checking out is Highway Robbery, and parts of it reminded me of the album Second Damnation by The Damnation of Adam Blessing. That’s one I dig, another cool early ‘70s American hard rock obscurity. Not so amped-up in the instrumental fireworks department as Highway Robbery, but more polished, with stronger vocals and good songwriting.
Seen Golden grass live. Very good live band too. Nice pick!
My obscure pick of the day that's immediately coming to mind is Blue Matter by Savoy Brown. Great British Blues rock! Most of the members of this band ended up in Foghat!
Fantastic album, great choice!
Love these obscure gems shows, keep them coming. One of mine that Martin might be familiar with is, Armand Schaubroeck - "A Lot Of People Would Like To See Armand Schaubroeck.... Dead" His first album released in 1972 was a triple !! album set. Basically a rock opera chronicling his time spent in Elmira, and the upstate NY. penal system. After his early life of crime he went on to open up the famous "House of Guitars" music shop just outside Rochester. Fascinating album along with his whole life story.
Love that Highway Robbery album. Check out the song Ain't Gonna Take No More. It has a great build-up to an awesome heavy finish.
0+1=2 is a fantastic nomeansno album. Pretty accessible throughout too.
My obscure pick contribution is From Good Homes - 'Open Up the Sky' album from 1995. They are probably most often labeled as folk-rock, and that;s fairly accurate. Multiple vocalists, fun lyrics, woodwinds. They were popular on the east cost of the US back in the late 80s-early 90s - a great live band. My two favorite tunes on the album are 'Cool Me Down' and 'Head' if you want a sampler... I wonder if Pete maybe came across them - they played up all over the east coast back then...
Fifteen by Highway Robbery sounds like a proto thrash metal song.
Massive fan of the Golden grass and very cool dudes too. I've become good friends with their drummer Adam Otracina who is in loads of cool bands. They are recording a new album I believe
The Golden Grass sounded right up my alley, so I checked 'em out. Pretty good stuff. Reminds me of a somewhat lighter version of Fuzz (the Ty Segall band) and maybe White Denim out of Austin...
Yes! The actual following entry to the Obscure Album Series. Not that I didn't like the April Fools Episode.
Woah! Pete you're right!! This Golden Grass band kicks ass!!!
Thank you Martin for introducing me to Snowy Shaw. Awesome drummer and good songwriter. Need to investigate more of his music.
❤️🖤❤️ highly appreciated guys
Love Highway Robbery.Great album.Have listened to it since 76
Boy. Do I miss the old days of the “cut out albums”! (They got their name because the corner would be cut off from the album.) you could go into discount store and sort thru an island of albums for around a buck. You could take your chance on any band and discover all these obscure gems that the record labels dumped on. If it sucked you just chucked it. It was only $1!
The band that opened for Sabbath was just called Highway. Their singer, John Elstar, played harmonica on Swinging The Chain. I have that Mirthrandir cd. Got it from Amazon a year or so ago. Ever hear of a band called Lift? They're a '70s Prog band from Atlanta, Georgia. They had an album out called Caverns In Your Brain. Their original(male) singer left, and was replaced by a female singer. So, they switched from sounding like Yes/Genesis to sounding like Renaissance. The second lineup's recordings were released as The Moment Of Hearing, along with the songs on Caverns. I also have a cd by a band called Babylon. They're a Genesis-inspired band from Florida. Their album was remixed on cd by Kevin Gilbert. Both Lift and Babylon were reissued by Syn-Phonic. I ordered those cds directly from Greg Walker. Forgot to mention Yezda Ufra. An American Prog band from the '70s that sounded like Gentle Giant. I also ordered that from Amazon. Interestingly, I just recently discovered that current Kansas singer Ronnie Platt sang on Yezda's Nearfest live album
I have one Lift album called Caverns Of Your Brain, not bad. 1977 I think. 3 tracks stand out for me: "Simplicity", "Caverns" & "Trippin' Over The Rainbow". It's very psyche prog
Who else looks forward to Friday at the Funhouse every week ?
Howdy, I might very well be the dude who once or twice mentioned Nomeansno in the comment sections. I think I once called you, dear Mr. Popoff out for wearing a cool NMN-Shirt. Thanks for mentioning them. It was a joy to listen to your thoughts! If dear Mr. Pardo reads this: I'd be very interested in your thoughts on them. I think "One" would be your kind of album, as well. It might be their purely proggiest. Anyway. cheers and thanks for another great episode to the both of you.
"A Mortal's Tear" by Infy (Infy Snow) You can find it on YT.
If I couldn't have loved last week's episode more, I was doubly impressed to learn that Pete's Coney Hatch at MSG line was an ad lib.
In reference to Prog in the late 70's, all three of the following by Rush went Platinum (eventually) in the US (& Canada): 2112 (1976), A Farewell to Kings (1977), Hemispheres (1978)
I have to go with the album Greener Postures by Snakefinger. Creative songs, mindblowing guitar work. He did some touring with The Residents. RIP.
I downloaded Highway Robbery when Pete mentioned them a year or so ago. Tried doing research and only found one interview with John Livingston but there is not much on them. They spent a year preparing for the album, recorded the album but it turned out they were not very good on stage and did not impress a room full of booking agent, so they never took off and disbanded.
I really like "Bells" & "All I Need (To Have Is You)". Some nice vocal harmonies...
Can't wait to hear Koch Marshall. Martin likes NoMeansNo, surprised he's never mentioned Fugazi. My pick; Scoredatura (all of their 22 songs; 2 albums, 2 singles on TH-cam/Spotify). Their name might be misleading; Hot-rodded, stripped-down, but still lush and a bit modern proggish metal/hard rock. All instrumental, awesome soloing, staccato/djenty riffs. Modern, but seeming to pay homage to 70's fusion and metal/rock.
I wandered into Raji's in Hollywood back in the late 80's and No Means No was playing. I'd never heard of them, it was just a spontaneous thing. It was an amazing show. Not my cup of tea for stuff I want to listen to on a regular basis, but the live show was an amazing high-energy experience.
Love that no means no was mentioned. I have all their albums and still listen to them this day. They were absolute geniuses. Most of their albums came out on Jello biafras alternative tentacles records. I highly recommend them
For some really good psych-surf check out San Francisco's The Mermen. Food For Other Fish (1994) & A Glorious Lethal Euphoria (1995) are great to start with.
5. M.A.R.S. (MacAlpine, Aldridge, Rock, Sarzo) - Project: Driver (1986)
This album is pretty interesting to check out, I mean, this lineup is impressive! We've got Tony MacAlpine, Tommy Aldridge (ex-Ozzy Osbourne, Whitesnake), Rudy Sarzo (ex-Ozzy Osbourne, ex-Whitesnake, ex-Dio), and then-unknown singer Rob Rock (ex-Axel Rudi Pell, Impellitteri). This album is filled with killer songs like 'Nations on Fire', 'Writings on the Wall', 'Slave to My Touch', 'Unknown Survivor', and my two favorite songs on the album: 'Stand Up and Fight' and 'Nostradamus'. Overall, a really solid album that should've been more well known. That supergroup could go on, if it wasn't for the fact that David Coverdale invited Sarzo and Aldridge to join Whitesnake and promote its 1987 album.
4. Demons & Wizards - Demons & Wizards (2000)
A pretty controversial pick, not because of Jon Schaffer (we'll get to him soon), but because some already know this project. But because of Jon's career destruction by rioting the U.S. Capitol and, consequently, being arrested, the project was dissolved and (probably) will stay in obscurity forever. Nonetheless, this album is an Iced Earth "update", because this album is pretty much what Iced Earth would sound like if Hansi Kürsch would be the vocalist. There are amazing songs like 'Heaven Denies', 'Poor Man's Crusade', 'Blood on My Hands', 'The Whistler', 'Tear Down the Wall', 'Gallows Pole', 'My Last Sunrise', and my two favorite songs: 'Winter of Souls' and the emotional and tragic song 'Fiddler on the Green'. If you like Iced Earth and Blind Guardian, but you haven't listened to this album, well, this is your chance to check it out!
3. Virgo - Virgo (Matos/Paeth) (2001)
Ok, this is the last supergroup/project on my list, I swear. This time around, it features German producer Sascha Paeth (Avantasia, Kamelot, Shaman, Edguy, Epica) and Brazilian singer André Matos † (ex-Viper, ex-Angra, Shaman, ex-Symfonia), who (IMO) was in his peak in this album, together with Shaman's 2002 debut, 'Ritual', and the 2003 live album they did, 'RituAlive'. This album is the complete opposite of the power metal they're well-known for, in fact, this album has a lot of classic rock influences, more specifically, Queen. The songs on this album are really catchy and melodic, with highlights such as 'Crazy Me?', 'Take Me Home', 'Baby Doll', 'No Need to Have an Answer', 'Discovery', and my favorite song: 'Blowing Away'. Overall, a really enjoyable album!
2. Adrian Benegas - Diamonds in the Dark (2021, EP)
Now we're going to PARAGUAY! Yep, pretty sure you didn't see that coming. This EP, along with the 2019 album 'The Revenant', was produced by Sascha Paeth (there he is again!) and Adrian himself. The concept is fantastic, it's about being in a tough situation when you're not valued, but you still stand up and fight. The 5 songs, especially 'Orphan of Life', are equally hooky, inspiring, amazing, and worth checking out! As Adrian himself says: "It is interesting how a diamond is just a piece of coal, which has withstood time and pressure, and through difficult situations it has become a treasure. By circumventing and overcoming suffering, you can rewrite your story."
1. Tito & Tarantula - Tarantism (1997)
So this time around, we're in something completely different from the bands we mentioned. It's a chicano rock/blues rock/latin rock band that I think should've been more and more well known to everybody, 'cos they are really enjoyable and chilling to listen to. Songs like 'After Dark', 'Smiling Karen', 'Strange Face (of Love)', 'Angry Cockroaches (Cucarachas Enojadas)', 'Back to the House (That Love Built)', and 'Killing Just for Fun' are pretty much a summary of what this album's about. If you just wanna chill out either if you're upset/angry or if you're in a barbecue or even if you're driving, this is one of the albums for you!
P.S.: Pete and Martin, can you please do a part 4 someday? LOL
For the April Fools video, I initially thought Martin had suffered some kind of brain injury and his memory was shot and I was horribly worried for him. But then I quickly figured it out. :D
Yes. I really enjoyed hearing about Kate Bush when she was in her punk phase.😅
Ha - I did the same. I was like... WTF is going on with Martin? LOL.
I was actually listening to the Highway Robbery album in my car the other day. I also love Dax Riggs' solo stuff, so I'll have to check out the Agents of Oblivion album.
Great to see the Ill Will recommendation! Think Martin forgot to mention that Andy La Roque is the guitarist and main songwriter (I think) on that album. Got an old interview with Andy from the 90s in a swedish metal magazine before the release and spent years hunting the album down. Obscure but so good!
Yes! 10 favorite bands... Hudson Valley squares w/ Martin episode. It would be the best video ever.
Some of the bands I wasn't familiar with, so didn't catch some errors. Also listening a couple of days later doesn't help (date doesn't show on screen, only how long ago video released). But was thinking I've never heard you two make so many errors. I did look at comments, but took a few before I saw an April Fool's reference. Nice job! Don't know how you kept a straight face
Awesome No Means No mention, Martin! I gotta give Magazine a shot, I know that John McGeogh was in the band at some point and he's already my fave guitarist of the post-punk era based on his work with Siouxsie & the Banshees alone. So I was always curious to hear his stuff with Magazine, plus now you've given me extra incentive to check 'em out. Definitely will do.
Thank you so much for talking about nomeansno. They are so great. Wrong! is such a perfect album. I really hope you are right about a documentary being forthcoming.
No, doc is not forthcoming, but book is, not by me.
Very happy that Martin brought up Acid Bath, and Agents of Oblivion. Very cool bands that I bet more people could get into.
My obscure pick is Confessor/Condemned 1991.Its an album that requires alot from the listener and alot of spins for it to"click".Most will never get it,and I understand.You cant really headbang to it,it has odd timing and most dont like the vocals,but I just love it.Anyhow,great vid as usual.I really look forward to yall every friday.🙂🤘
Bought the 2 Last Crack albums and the DMZ from 2 weeks ago. Hope to discover more! Thanx a lot guys! Cheers.
We like the rambling. That's why I'm here! To learn about music I haven't discovered yet!
Really love Nomeansno. Only discovered them in the last ten years or so, somehow. I had friends who woudl always tell me about them but because I came to like punk kind of late in the gameI never really paid attention. Turns out I was really missing out and damn, I so wish I had gotten a chance to see them live. Such a fun, crazy band. The prog band i would compare them to though isn't so much Rush, but King Crimson. I sometimes hear a lot of Fripp in there.
It would be cool to see the top ten bands video! It could even be done across other SOT programs, if you two are going to suffer why should the others get off? Great video!!
We had a full day of torrential rain yesterday down here in Tampa as well!
That Koch Marshall Trio cooks Pete, listened to it today after this show.
All I can say about that one is "Funk Meat"...Greg Koch has a BUNCH of great solo records too, Double The Gristle (With The Tone Controls) is probably my favorite along with 13 X 12. All 8 that I have are really good
1) Herbie Hancock - Crossings (1972)
2) Billy Cobham - Inner Conflicts (1978)
3) Miles Davis - Dark Magus (1974)
4) John McLaughlin - Electric Dreams (1979)
5) Yonin Bayashi - Golden Picnics (1976)
magazine and Howard Devoto I'm such a massive fan of and I like Martin mentioning luxuria great lost band good show guys as always
Pete & Martin thanks for introducing some phenomenol obscure music. Pete, the Shotgun Ltd band is excellent - on Number Two there is this Uriah Heep vibe that goes into. Doors like jam. Mirthrandir is a lost classic and Liking Golden Grass. Martin thanks for the intro to Sweeney Todd and Forgot how great Magazine were ( the angular guitars always reminded me of Television and Dream Syndicate )
Here are a few suggestions
Chango - early 1970s Latin rock ( think Santna harder edged )
I made myself a "70's Latin Rock" (excluding Santana) playlist a while back & Chango is on it. If you're into that then also: Azteca, Barrabas, Benitez, Black Sugar, Dakila, Dug Dug's, El Chicano, Malo (maybe the best band here), Mandrill, Mother Night, Osibisa, Sapo & Telegraph Avenue
What about Wiggy Bits....from 1976...one off.....great Melodic Hard Rock record..lead singer is Peggy Castro from Blues Magoos and Balance
Their s/t record is pretty good, too bad that was it. BTW Hall & Oates' manager Tommy Motolla handled them. Keyboard player Michael Maniscalco was in a bunch of other bands. The band formed from the remains of Long Island's The Illusion (I've got 5 of their albums - If It's So & Together (As The Way Of Life) are very good) & Barnaby Bye (another great lesser-known band with 3 great albums)
NoMeansNo are so awesome and very hard to describe. When pushed I tend to describe them as jazz fusion performed by a punk band.
Love the album Dance of the Headless Bourgeoisie.
Just a little minutiae for you, Martin…the girl that was in deadboy and the elephantmen with Dax now owns and operates a record store with her husband in Lafayette, Louisiana called Lagniappe Records. Look ‘em up on all the social media sites.
Martin: Sounds like Rush on Angeldust
Me: Someone covered the whole Caress Of Steel album?
I love how Martin throws pete a hardball with Punk music and Pete throws Martin a Harball with Instrumentals. Thats how one another review new and interesting Music
This is my favorite weather program.
You guys are awesome! You totally "got me". I was a little suspicious after you said "Badfnger IS the Beatles". You guys are great. Martin Popoff and Pete Pardo should get Oscars for your performances. YOU GOT ME!!! hahaha
Keep up the fantastic videos
Kenny from Jersey 👍👍
i definitely did not get the inside joke for the 1 april edition; however neither did i get upset. that's what the day is all about (next year i will be aware...). i still enjoyed the mentions in that episode for what they were......love me some NoMeansNo...
Martin mentioned the White Stripes -- another obscurity. Great episode!
I appreciate the sense of humor regarding last week's show. The thing is I stopped caring about April Fool's Day and April Fool's pranks when I left grade school. Other than Badfinger and The J Giles Band, those bands were just as obscure to me as the ones you mentioned today. Sorry I didn't get the joke.
lol, the last one was brilliant, you got me (which seems unbelievable on reflection) I was just so confused about what was happening!! It worked so well because I wasn't that familiar with some of the choices myself. .. anyway it was brilliantly 'acted'
hi you should mention Chrome the helios creed period with damon edge ....;-))
totally agree with nomeansno. saw them many times here in calgary. never left not drenched in sweat.
Funny: I found that Golden Grass album a few weeks ago in the sales bin and picked it up. Great album! I've had a bunch of No Means No albums, but sold them (shouldn't have!), much too noisy for me. Cheers.
Pete, great call on KMT!!! The Gristlemaster rules them all. Last summer's album was tasty as well.
Hey Pete. My suggestion for you to start with one song in the Nomeansno library that might make you a fan is "Victory" off Small Parts Isolated and Destroyed. Prog punk in my estimation. Living in Victoria I've seen them several times.....amazing live
I love that Agents of Oblivion album. At the time it came out I tended to run a million miles from anything called "post-grunge", but this one had slightly off-kilter elements and combined enough influences to make it interesting. Definitely hints of Alice in Chains and Soundgarden in there, but also some psychedelia, tiny bit of blues and a touch of Bowie/glam rock. A swampier version of Mother Love Bone or something.
My favorite moment from last week was when Martin said Kate Bush did an alternative skit as Bush.
Okay, I understand now. I was busy and distracted but the 4/1 show was on in the background. Martin said something about Krokus being obscure, and I'm like WTF. I didn't know.
Martin that Snowy Shaw book is fantastic and signed.
He released a 2021 recently album after releasing a track per month. Great album and bought 2 t shirts what a guy check it out
Magazine - "The Light Pours Out Of You." Awesome!
Kate Bush gave it away for me when I saw Sixteen Stone! And Knights of the New Thunder sounding like Slayer! 🤣🤣🤣 SO GLAD you brought up ACID BATH! Saw them live in the 90's on a fluke in a little bar, had no idea who they were and they blew us away! We got to meet them and got Kite String signed! Became one of my favorite bands ever! Someone had a cool comparison, they said "Imagine Alice in Chains if they came from the Bayou!" Love Dax Riggs, thanks for bringing them up! And I'd put BOTH of their albums as my hidden gems, check them OUT! They should have been WAY bigger IMHO! Love Agents of Oblivion too! 🤘🤘
Yea I would love if Axel would come to the US!
that "know thyself" album looks like an Odilon Redon painting. He did a lot of charcoal eyes and eye-body combinations.
HEED the BOOGALOO. Greg KOCH / MARSHALL Trio- I’ll give it to you once again PETE/. Damn good 👍💯
Favourite 10 bands of all time wow that would be hard but up for the challenge.
Made me laugh so much on the previous video Loved the TNT reference. And that Jimmy page was going to be on the show the next day
I heard the desolation angels comment and thought “ ok that had to be a mistake” but then questioned myself even though I knew better. Everything else went over my head, color me stupid I guess
