And also need to add the following as groups who had major hits but have body of work that can be considered obscure to many (quotes from AllMusic):
- The Church (considered a one-hit wonder in the US ("Under the Milky Way") that nevertheless recorded 19 albums and still going strong; per AllMusic "jangling guitar pop with opaque wordplay to create a lush, melancholy brand of neo-psych rich in texture and melody").
- Jesus Jones (were on top of the world but fell hard with no one buying later albums that still contained catchy songs).
- Inspiral Carpets ("released some of the best singles of the '90s").
- The Outfield ("The world quit listening, but The Outfield continued to make tight, glistening pop records...sharp harmonies, crackling guitar, and the always remarkable vocals...The Outfield recedes into history as yet another shining power pop band unjustly ignored and lost forever").
- The Ocean Blue ("melodic guitar and synth-driven pop that ranks among the best ... indisputably well-crafted albums").
