Windows Of The World, from an obscure 80's film called '1969'...

The Pretenders doing a Burt Bacharach song, with Johnny Marr on guitar?  I'll have a bit of that!   :D

C'mon, you lot, post your fave obscure track!

Tonight, as you stare at the ceiling again
With your lover turning away
Disappointment closing in
Like the walls... and you try...
You try to talk about love
And they put their arms around you
But you still feel all alone
Wonder why...

Love that song, Darkness!  I must investigate The Prids... a bit of guidance here?

Here's one not a million miles away from that sound, The Cinematics, 'Strange Education', really like this one...

Please, guys, post some more tracks and links, just make sure they're nice and obscure... let's give some forgotten bands some exposure!  ;)

I love it. Decent band that never really made it but did some cracking tunes

There are some interesting video links here.

This had less than 400 followers on spotify which means it's fairly obscure. I am not sure why i like this. It's completely insane but passionate. Forward Russia is the artist and not sure how i heard of them. Likely lastfm or some music blog.

Glad you liked it! I enjoyed THE CINEMATICS, cool song.
As for THE PRIDS, start with Love Zero and ...Until The World Is Beautiful albums. If you struggle getting hold of them I could do you some CDRs :)
Here's another band ... ;)

This is Bessie Smith doing " Gimme a Pigfoot" - apparently the first track banned by the BBC  ;)
