Great moments in obscure rock ‘n’ roll: the best finds of 2024

Brian Leiter

I didn't do as many this year, since I think I may have finally exhausted the genre of obscure blues-based rock.  But here were a couple of good finds that I enjoyed:

    Argent, "Keep On Rollin'," 1972

    Gun, "Race with the Devil," 1968

    Jo Jo Gunne, "Broken Down Man," 1973

Feel free to add links to obscure rock 'n' roll that you think deserves notice.  Those that strike my fancy may be used, with acknowledgment, in future "Great moments" posts on the blog.

ADDENDUM:  Please include the name of the band and a URL for a video of the song!

    It's only obscure in some places, but certainly obscure in the US – I'd note the great Soviet/Russian band rock band, with this being one of my favorites:

    This is another really good fairly recent one:

    Ah- I left out the name of the band! It's ДДТ (DDT).

    Something very obscure Another Time by Pearls Before Swine Tom Rapp
    At the time Pearls Before Swine was my favorite band along with The Incredible String Band

    Undoubtedly your pointer to the Stevie Ray Vaughan/Albert King jewel BORN UNDER A BAD SIGN that can only be found on Youtube Video (to my knowledge). Brilliant! Was delighted to discover it.
