Applerill, have you heard their album "Renaissance"? It has mostly original songs, and some of them are really really good!

Man, I've been trying to track down Caravan's debut for a while now (I'm a huge fan of Grey and Pink), but I can't find it anywhere for a good price. Darn.

As for Cromagnon, those guys really annoy me. They're just a bunch of rambunctious noise-making perverts who don't know what real metal is. Oh well.

Pierre Henry is awesome. Don't know if he's that obscure, but when first list is filled with well known artists anyway, I guess he's counting.

One of my favorite sixties bands is a proto-metal cover band named Vanilla Fudge. They're best known for their ten-minute cover of "Eleanor Rigby", which is really awesome.

Also gotta love their cover of "Ticket to Ride", especially the Bonham-esque drumming.
