Natural Snow Buildings. Drone/noise/ambient, but actually tolerable IMO. All of their songs sound like there's a non-zero chance a fucking demon will fly out of your speakers. They seem to be opposed to releasing music in a normal way and tend to just give CDs/tapes to friends that eventually reach the general public via file sharing. More recent releases have made it to Bandcamp in an official capacity.

As for most obscure I can think of: Discarded, an electronic artist. He did music for Million Dollar Extreme at one point, but I had trouble finding him even then. After a while I discovered he'd released albums and then went around the net getting them taken down. Even individual songs he released on SoundCloud get taken down or removed off of YouTube and other places. He rebranded recently under his real name, but even the albums uploaded on his official Bandcamp randomly disappear or change in one way or another. https://tristanleonidas.bandcamp.com/album/discarded
If you don't like instrumental stuff, he did the production for a few songs by Gabe Nandez: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ahh9TyJqKB4

I've been really digging this band called Toe. They're a math-y rock band from Japan.

Bill Laswell produced Praxis but Bootsy was on bass duties (and a few vocals here and there).

This might not be considered obscure within the standards of this thread as it features a cover of a not so obscure song done by a Ministry side project with early Trent Reznor. However, Ministry/NIN/Trent Reznor fans that don’t yet know of it seem to appreciate it so...

How obscure is obscure?
Melancholic US (Detroit) oi! that reeks of tattered national spirit and industrial decay

Armand Schaubroeck. Best known as the co-owner of the House of Guitars in Rochester, NY and their weird late night commercials from the late 1970’s. I had no idea that he made a couple of albums in the 70s. They're hilarious!

So there's a lot of old stuff that's mostly forgotten. Nobody's really written about it, its time has come and gone and it just never really got noticed. Occasionally something that's somehow intriguing can be found in the debris of another era. Hence stuff like the "The Mysterious Song" someone recorded off the radio and nobody has been able to identify (Whang's video).
What really old and obscure stuff by nobody-bands have you stumbled upon that you think deserves a second listen? You don't have to think the band is amazing or revolutionary, just something you've found that things deserves some notice....
I found some weird goth/deathrock record with some flute bits in it. It seems pretty obscure and the singer is obviously influenced by Siouxsie, I feel like this band could've gone somewhere if they developed their sound a bit further and stayed together.

I listened to a little known hidden gem called “Night at the Opera” by some Scottish band named “Kween” earlier today

Obscure 70's shit by Cheyenne Fowler / Cheyenne's Comin'. Heard a sample of it used in a Vinnie Paz track years ago. Fucking love it.

I would say the theme A Man and a Woman by Francis Lai. Mostly because the film seems rather obscure. Its been covered a lot in the years since though.

It's from the 1500s (earlier than you wanted), but kinda has a fast pace lyrical tempo over it. Pretty sure this is the original that was sung back then.

Fuck yeah, this is my thread!
The album that I’m always impressed to ever run across is City Boy’s 1979 album, The Day the Earth Caught Fire. It’s got a Cold War era since of cynicism that has only gotten more applicable today.
Another group that I’ve run across is Nektar; they’ve got a kind of unique sound, even if it is kind of samey across most of their albums.
I’ve seen it referenced in another thread, surprisingly enough, but I still want to recommend it here: Camel’s album Mirage. It’s got a kind of King Crimson meets Focus sound.
Focus has a relatively well known song in Hocus Pocus, but I would recommend a good deal of their albums, especially Hamburger Concerto.
My cousin got me into Uriah Heep. In a genre full of nerds st the time, they somehow ended up the nerdiest. Demons and Wizards is a good enough aalbum with good enough artwork that I have it as a shirt.
Everyone knows a handful of Blue Öyster Cult songs like (Don’t Fear) The Reaper or Burning For You, but honestly their first three albums are their best work.

Some good old-timey bluegrass from the legendary Doc Watson. I think this was from the 70's or 80's. My grandmother had it on cassette.
A coal miner's ballad from Ralph Stanley. I'm pretty sure this song first appeared on one of his early albums released after Carter Stanley died in 1966. I actually got to meet Ralph Stanley twice before his death in 2016.
Fun Fact: My grandmother on my mom's side actually attended Carter Stanley's funeral at the time. The service was open to the public and so many people showed up that they could not perform the funeral at the church so it was actually held in a high school gym before the procession headed back to the cemetery for burial.
This rare bluegrass classic is the original ACAB anthem, long before NWA or Body Count.
