Obscure bands

@arcam - compliments on your "arcane" taste.  The only ones from your list I've even heard of are those below.  I marked the ones I've actually ever listened to....

Meat Puppets
Monster Magnet
Mother Love Bone
Porcupine Tree - listened
Spock's Beard - listened briefly
Screamin Cheetah Wheelies
The Good Rats - know these guys from back in 1970/71 on vinyl.  Listened to it a lot back then.  Have their first on CD now.
Velvet Revolver - Slash's band after Guns N Roses, I think.  Never listened.  

Do check out A.A. Bondy solo also in Verbena.  Worth a quick listen.

Good point nutty!
I forgot to mention Temple of the Dog😎

ghosthouse,

Recommend Spocks Beard highly. Every one of their recordings is unique and different. Their "Snow" is a great 2- CD concept albumn recorded in HDCD. I particularly like their material that includes Nick D’vergilio. He’s got quite a resume as well.

Thanks ghosthouse!
I will check your suggestion.
You need to check out the bands on my list that you have not heard of on YouTube or whatever Source you can find them on.
I am pretty sure you will like all or most of them!
I also definitely Echo what nutty says about Spock's Beard! They are one of the most talented group of musicians and songwriters I have ever come across😎

Arcam & nutty  - will do.  I'll surf that list and start w/Spock's Beard.  I  admit to having a short attention span so if something doesn't grab me right away, I won't stick with it.  BUT I'll often re-visit stuff.  Just have to be "in the mood" for some things to click.  Later.
