Seems like you're a fan of 80s metal, give this a try if you haven't already.

Not sure if you've talked about that one on Mellow Metal Zone, but it's a fantastic record.

Or maybe jazz fusion is a better description than funk rock, I'm not sure...

I just started listening to Hummingbird yesterday. They are a funk rock band composed of members of the Jeff Beck Group. Their first album is awesome and features Linda Lewis on one track

As long as another Stormwarrior fan is here, I'd like to DGM and Elvenking.

Bingo.

That said, there's probably a bunch of Irish stuff on my charts that hasn't been heard by many round these parts, some of which is dope.

I'm glad you said Bel Canto. Believe it or not my favorite Bel Canto song is from one of their least well known albums, Magic Box.

i put magic box on the same plateau as birds and shimmering/warm/bright. it's a beautiful record.

That's some of the funkiest shit.

yeah, it really depends on how obscure you want to go, but i'll indulge. none of these are particularly obscure relative to their scenes, but to outsiders of those scenes, i'd say they're pretty obscure. for what that's worth. a handful of my favorite relatively obscure bands:

bel canto [dream pop, ethereal wave]
cloud cult [indie rock, chamber pop]
a neon rome [post-punk, gothic rock]
.o.rang [post-rock]
red stars theory [post-rock, slowcore]
spartan fidelity [indie rock]
ugly casanova [indie rock]
valravn [folktronica]

If you want to find some older cool obscure bands, check out the charts of steppenwolf666. He has lots of nice psychedelic albums listed and has some of my favorites on his overall chart, such as Armageddon's self titled (and only) album.

I'm mostly into obscure punk, such as Rich Kids on LSD (or RKL). There's no good reason for them to stay underground. I'd probably even say they're a better hardcore band than Dead Kennedys.
