Thank you for sharing, everyone!
I’m slowly going through the comments and enjoying a variety of good and interesting music!

    I dunno if it would be classed as obscure any more seen as it now has over 2m plays, but when I first heard it 4 years ago it was for sure obscure.

    Clown Core - Earth

      I also remember when it was obscure but i keep seeing it pop up as a meme of absurdity, which it is, of course. I think most people don’t realize the level of virtuosity on display.

      This is hilarious, i love it. My favorite Jonathan Coulton song is Sticking It to Myself.

      That one is great!

      I keep mis-remembering one line as “I’m not unreasonable, I mean at some point you’re gonna hafta die”

      Hell yeah, can’t go wrong with hard rock.
      I have a number of songs on my playlists in different languages that i dont unserstand and it’s interesting how it shifts the focus away from lyrics and toward the interaction between the vocals and the instruments. The voice is another instrument, after all.

        This song just slaps, that’s why I like it. Fun to play on guitar, too!

      I like how simple this song is musically while converting multiple things behind the lyrics.

    A great one for your Halloween playlists is “The Crazy” by The Children MacNuggits.

    But if you want even more obscure, a college friend of mine started a homebrew record label and got every band on campus to submit their best track for a compilation… and then he did it five more times

    Twenty years later, I still listen to some of these songs daily, but especially: (warning, these are download links, not streaming)

    Cold Heaven - “Eurydice”

    The Heavy Pets - “(A Dragon’s Just) A Dinosaur in Drag”

    Zinc Finger and the Major Groove - “Too Much of a Girl”

    The Passerines - “Young”

      Oh i like this. I have no idea what it’s about but it gives me nostalgia/reminiscing vibes. Definitely a head nodder! Also i appreciate how much variety there is even being a short song.

        I messaged them and told them it should be much longer, they appreciated the comment and that they were proud of the record. The album is great. This song in particular can make me cry if I listen to it enough.

    Probably not obscure per se, as it is the main theme of Raziel and Kain’s conflict in Soul Reaver, but Ozar Midrashim - Information Society, is one piece that I deeply enjoy.

    There’s a metal cover of the game’s music, “Between the Zones”, with Wasteland Midrashim and Forgotten Lament being some I enjoy a lot.

      With 145M views and like thousands of variations I wouldn’t call this obscure. Great song, but not obscure.

        LOL, fair enough I guess. 🤷‍♂️

      I’ve never heard this before, Bo sure does know how to send a message.
      I’m also learning this is where the piano and laughing meme came from. lol

      This is good, big fan. I like the changes in intensity throughout the song.

        They have two EPs right now and I’m quite a fan of both. If you liked that one, definitely check out the rest of their discography
