Also not sure about late 70s/early 80s And "The Harder We (You?) Push the Tighter it Gets by Lon And Derrek Von Eaton, which doesn't appear to be on Youtube.
And 3 by The Motors, definitely from the 70's: The Motors - Dancing The Night Away » (wait til it kicks in) The Motors - Airport 1978 » And one by Montrose from '73: Montrose- Space Station # 5 »
Here's a nice anti-Vietnam war by a man who just a few days ago released his first album since 1973! Emitt Rhodes - Tame the Lion (1972)
Side Show - Cold Coffee Fans of The Wicker Man (the original, not the remake) might recognise the singer here as Paul Giovanni, who composed the film's soundtrack and performed some of the musical numbers.
This 13 minutes disco epic from Arthur Russell, Nicky Siano and a large cast of characters including David Byrne on guitar. Dinosaur - "Kiss Me Again"
From 1975, a fine singer-songwriter (from Scotland, I believe), Brian Friel (not to be confused with the playwright of the same name.) Not well known, in the U.S. at least. "San Francisco Street Car Fire", from the album Ashes and Matchsticks:
Back in the day I was on the Stiff Records mailing list >>>xerox list and order form. That helped build my vinyl collection and introduced artists like Elvis Costello, Ian Dury, Nick Lowe. One of those acts was obscure band Roogalator with this classic sounding Cincinnati Fatback
The Modern Lovers - Roadrunner Most people have never heard of the band or the song and it's one of the funniest rock songs ever.
Irish singer/songwriter David McWilliams is rightly famous for his superb 1960s track Days Of Pearly Spencer but also cut the superb but obscure Gold - for a movie about mining in South Africa - in the early 1970s. You'll have to give the song about 30 seconds to get going - but it's great!
