| Post A Lesser-known Fave From Each Decade
And by lesser-known, up to you really. Totally obscure, or just to the average (i.e. non Sputnik type) music listener. I don't have many albums that are really that unknown. | | 1 |  | Captain Beefheart
Safe As Milk
1967. Psychedelic blues rock with some weird bits thrown in. Probably his only 'normal' album before the really off the wall stuff. | | 2 |  | Captain Beyond
Captain Beyond
1972. Slightly proggy 70's style hard rock, with great drumming and vocals. Featuring ex-Deep Purple and Iron Butterfly members. | | 3 |  | Voivod
Nothingface
1989. Listened to this after reading a rec off here, not my usual cup of tea but this was great after a few listens. Something a bit different to all the 80s thrash metal. | | 4 |  | Fu Manchu
In Search Of...
1996. Good time heavy rock with fuzzy riffs, cowbells and laid back vocals. Asphalt Rising and Cyclone Launch the standout tracks, but there's not a bad track on the album. | | 5 |  | Earthless
Rhythms From a Cosmic Sky
2007. Two 20 minute psychedelic guitar solos and a short track. That's it. That's all you need. | | 6 |  | Albatross Overdrive
Albatross Overdrive
2010. (mid 90's) Corrosion of Conformity-type stoner rock, with big riffs and big vocals. Pretty cheesy and formulaic, but that suits me. | |

12.17.12 | Yes, it's all psychedelic, stoner rock and proggy type stuff. That's what I like, fuck it.
Pretty hard to find much for the 80s in my collection, I've got mostly thrash metal, some hard rock and the Smiths/Morrissey, and not much else. All well known on here anyway.
Go ahead, rec some good stuff. | JamieTwort

Jamie - I've got that Lo-Pan album on my wishlist already (probably off one of Greg's many recs), will have to give it go asap. | insomniac15

90s: The Bicycle Thief - You Come And Go Like A Pop Song (alternative rock)
