Obscure bands


Does anyone know a band called City Boy? (70's/80's)Very obscure and very original. It's beyond Me how such great talent goes so unnoticed! Also please chime in on other obscure talented musicians.

Hey Marty - 
Remember Chicken Shack?  No....
Aware it was the band Christine McVie nee Perfect came from?  Yes.

Here's another from around that time: Killing Floor.  
Of note to me because that's where Lou Martin (pianist with Rory Gallagher) came from.  Check out the RG Irish Tour '74 movie.  Lou is killer on electric piano.

But here's a track from a Killing Floor LP that features Lou.

Ghost,

Funny thing about Chicken Shack is that Christine Perfect only came on board after several years.  Stan Webb was the main attraction in that band and he was a really good guitarist.  They also had one other high profile member (maybe in a later iteration), but I can't recall and I'm too lazy to look it up.
Thanks to everyone for their great posts and lists! Looks like I've got a lot of exploring to do.
Meanwhile here's a few more to chew on.
Enchant
Fates Warning
Porcupine Tree
Hello again, Marty - so I did look up Chicken Shack on Wikipedia.  You are thinking of Chris Wood maybe who joined Traffic? OR possibly others (including Webb) who joined Savoy Brown.  The Chicken Shack/Savoy Brown connection I did not know about.

If you aren't already familiar with 'em, check out Cuby and The Blizzards on YouTube.  Dutch blues band from the same era as Chicken Shack and Killing Floor.  A couple of great old vids on YouTube from back before MTV and fashion poisoned things.  Worth noting Eelco Gelling co-founder of C & the B was guitarist in Golden Earring after joining them in '77. 

Speaking of Golden Earring, they were fairly obscure except for of course "Radar Love" and "Twilight Zone".
A lot of people don't realize they have been around longer than the "Rolling Stones"!
Barry Hay and George Kooymans were masterful songwriters. They recorded at least 25 Studio albums and quite a few live albums.
Every album had its own personality.
Thier music was very unique and original and they will always be one of my favorite bands!
 As far as I know they are still together they released an album a year or two ago " Tits & Ass"
