Your favorite YouTube "non-mainstream" music video

Here's one I heard recently in the store - Giorgio Moroder:

I knew I had heard it from somewhere, but it had been at least 20-30 years. Ever experience something like that? It's in the recesses of your memory, but you don't know it's there until you get that certain trigger. Anyway, I "Shazamed" it and found out who it was - I knew the name and I remember when he was involved in an exotic car around 25 years ago (Cisteza-Moroder?) - so I investigated it and found out it was used in a sports segment or intro for one of the major networks, which explains how I was familiar with it because I was WAY too young to know when it was new.

People from MN may remember Crow? They had one Top 40 hit, and I think this one was Top 100. Black Sabbath ended up covering their hit on their first album:

I don't know Bang at all even though they were on a major label, but it seems to be good ol' hard rock:

Tin House were from the South, although I can't remember from where - maybe FL or Memphis. I think they had one of the Winters brothers backing them up. It's great Power Trio music:

The Old Grey Whistle Test is a great TV show from the UK - you can find tons of neat stuff, from Skynyrd to Post-Punk stuff I've read about but never heard on the radio like Dr. Fee

Check out the guitar freakout on this Thin Lizzy video - I wish I liked them more than I do, but I have total respect:

Even six years before while with Skid Row, Gary Moore was a hot guitarist. This song is somewhat of an awkward Blues song in my eyes, but Moore's solo just keeps going and going and going . . . seems a bit ahead of its time compared to other, more famous hot guitarists of the time:

I saw the name Gary Moore in Skid Row. Anyone remember his cover of an old EasyBeats tune?

Modern Lover video sure has a lot of old cars in it. Looks like they were shooting from 2 different cars. From the hood ornament, one looks to be a late 70s Olds.

 

The Modern Lovers are more of a cult band whose fans tend to be more into the Velvet Underground and the Stooges.

Jonathan Richman appeared as the soliloquy singer in "There's Something About Mary" and the other musicians later found fame in The Cars and Talking Heads.

Well, when I was 8 I remember hearing "Sgt. Pepper's" on the radio and asking my parents what group it was.

Always listened to the radio, and since the closest big city was Philly, I got my fill because the radio scene there was as good as anywhere else.

All the kids in the neighborhood were older, and the youngest kid on the block wants to be like the teenagers, so I would pore through their collections, which was mainly Pink Floyd, the Cars, Blondie, Cheap Trick (which they never played on the radio, from what I recall), and Rod Stewart.

Got a job at Sam Goody's in high school. And by that time, I was in NJ, so not only could I receive Philly and NYC radio reception, but Trenton State College had a great show on Sunday night. And when I arrived in college, I met a record collector who let me borrow his stuff, so I learned a lot of garage and psych music.

Like everything else - including cars - it all comes down to perception and opinion (i.e. I don't think Blue Cheer was the first heavy metal band, and I don't think the MC5 were the precursor to Punk). Someone out there may have an issue of my Modern Lovers assessment, but I do know where they're from and who was in the band, so it makes for good trivia.

I've got some really good music encyclopedias too, so anyone who's really into music and wants a book recommendation for music from regions like California, AZ and the Southwest, Chicago and other Midwestern states like Iowa, I have a few.

 

Here are a couple from an Australian band "Kingswood". They are a new band that is starting to make it big here in Australia. The second video is kind of a Quentin Tarrintino take off. Cool music though

Specially R.L. Burnside's work in this documentary (Lomax; 1978) shows you don't need a band or playing very well to record a gem

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WmnUayaQyBk.....very cool rockabilly and a very fine mid sixtys full size buick

 

Yeah, good artist. I like their stuff, thanks for posting. I like how the sax comes into the song after he picks up the sax player hitchhiking.

 

Everlast (Erik Schrody), in the 90's he was in the hip-hop group ''House of Pain'' and is now performing on his own.
Last year I saw him live at a concert in the Netherlands, very good performance!
He also wrote the theme song for the "Saving Grace" tv-series with Holly Hunter and even showed up in a few episodes as a barkeeper :TU:
