Obscure songs from the '70s that you love to share with people

I've always liked this one and have played it for folks just to get their reaction.

Artful Dodger- Honor Among Thieves

 

Harmonium

 

Top 40 one hit wonder. Rubicon - I'm Gonna Take Care Of Everyting

 

"Let the Phone Ring" - Jim Mancel, from 1975.
Sadly, YouTube does not have an uploaded version of the song. However, there is a sample snippet one can listen to at the iTunes Store.
Mr. Mancel was in the band Chester, who had a nice ditty entitled "Make My Life a Little Bit Brighter".

 

Looks like this thread needs a kick. Here's a fun song from British pub rockers Brinsley Schwarz, led by Nick Lowe.

Feel a Little Funky - Brinsley Schwarz 1972.

 

Any love for Fuzzy Duck? Drummer Paul Francis plays on both versions.

Very Beatle-esque. A Dutch band.

It's Gonna Be Alright - Smyle - 1972

 

Here's a 1972 song by Nancy Sinatra that I think is very similar to and as good as her hit songs from the 1960s. It probably seemed out of place for the 1970s.

A Kind of a Woman

 

Brian Eno - Backwater (even forces them to watch this on laptop/desktop ) ; you gotta love the lyrics as well .....



Ooh what to do in a tiny canoe

 

Here's a nice one that's (almost) nothing but glorious vocals.

Judie Tzuke - For You (1978)

 

I Want You Bad - NRBQ (1978)

 

I'd post I'm Gonna Miss You by Mingles and Whirling Dervish by Rose if either were on YouTube ...

 

the original version of this song

 

Fanny Adams - heavy crunchy blues Australia 1971

 

Yes We Can Can - The Pointer Sisters (1973)

 

"March to the Eternal City" from Spartacus was the exact song I was about to post, but Stickville Jim beat me to it.

 

Some Dutch stuff...

 

Not sure if this was late 70's or early 80's but it's a great song.
