The idea here is to post some of your favorite music that you think not many people have heard ... so nothing super poppy! (Unless it's a pop song that didn't chart well and you think is incredibly underrated) ...

And nothing from a platinum or gold selling album! (via the American certification. So no albums that have 500,000 + units sold).

No videos with 1 million + views on YouTube, please!

Critically acclaimed stuff is fine provided the sales weren't too high and not many people actually know the music exists.

If you share classical music make sure it's not something extremely well known like Mozart or Beethoven!

Here's one of my favorite obscure songs. I love this song but it's not very well known:



You can post songs or whole albums! Just make sure it's obscure stuff that you love but think not many people have heard of it!

My favorite songs of theirs are Ai, Ai, Tass Satu (Oh no, it hurts again), and Singing Keeps You Lazy, but I can't find videos for either.

I think just drone music in general. I was first exposed to it unknowingly in the background at a student computer art exhibition at California State University, Sacramento (Sac State) back in 1998. I'm not sure who was playing, and din't even realize that it was a particular subgenre until years later, I found Soma.fm, a collection of web music channels, of which one is called The Drone Zone. I listened to it out of curiosity, and it was exactly the kind of stuff that was piped into the gallery that night in '98. It's been a mainstay ever since for me. It can be listened to, with no account, here: http://www.soma.fm/dronezone , or at http://www.soma.fm if you like other genres.

Stars of the Lid is by far my favorite, but maybe because I don't tend to jot down anything I hear. They are a duo who started in Austin, Texas and now its members live in L.A. and in Belgium.

Here's one of my favorites by them:

@c172 It's cool that that radio station is called soma.fm!

One of my favorite albums, which is also super obscure, is called Electro Soma!
