I was never a fan. When I was in college, I was on a student entertainment committee. We booked Head East for a concert.
John Schlitt wasn’t lead anymore.
IMHO, “Some Girls” was the last great Stones album.
Nice to see some love for Social D, my favourite band. And for the Reverend Horton Heat.
I’ve been on an Irish/Celtic kick the last year, been getting into Flogging Molly, Dropkick Murphys, the Mahones, the Rumjacks, and the Real McKenzies, all under rated IMO.
The Real McKinzines - Chip. https://youtu.be/1eu0PtSdSNo
Captain Beyond...
Not obscure but an underated band in an era of great bands...
Eric Burdon and the Animals

Kinky Freidman and the Texas Jew Boys.
Yep, heard that one, a good tune although I'm not familiar with the band that performed it.
Tesla and Manowar.
Saw him in Baton Rouge back late 70’s, then recently at Fillmore West. That Bridge of Sighs riff moves mountains!
Asleep at the Wheel.
My first date with my future wife was to see Asleep at the Wheel opening for the The nighthawks at a Bar named Spankys on Nov 3, 1978.
I’ve like the band ever since. I retired awhile ago and the following song was my go to every morning and evening commute for the entire the last year of my “career”. Lifes Good!

Cyrkle. “Red Rubber Ball,” “Turn Down Day.”
Not a big Pixies fan but yeah, they were doing in the ‘80s what became big in the ‘90s.
Thanks for posting those links.
They used to play outdoors at the Tempe New Year’s Eve block party. You could here them all over downtown.
I saw Asleep at the Wheel in a small night club in Philadelphia in the 80s. I never forget them and always tried to follow them because the Western Swing sound was so fun and entertaining especially compared to the flash in the pan punk rock/new wave bands that were popular at the time.
Definitely Big Audio Dynamite (BAD)
Also:
The Stranglers
Wall of Vodoo
Big Country
Fine Young Cannibals
Erasure - two guys basically...
Enigma
Steam Powered Giraffe - “Go Spine Go” live at Animinneapolis 2104
Dread Zeppelin - “Immigrant Song” live
Infected Mushroom - “Spitfire”
I was aware but thanks for sharing it’s a fun story.
