Is there an artist who's stuff you like, that perhaps isn't that well known but you think perhaps most would probably like if they heard them?
Suggestion for new music for folks to explore welcomed.👍
I'll start with band "kino" particularly the track 'perfect tense'. It's like a well crafted, sophisticated pop song. |

Outstanding suggestion.
I'd recommend Sixto rodriguez.

I’m a musician and have always happened to follow underground and unusual music where possible, right here in our very own Bradford, we have a bevy of local/world renowned artists like chantel McGregor, Psychlona, My dying Bride, Terrorvision, Paradise lost, and there’s an underground of musicians who’re great to see live. It just depends what music you’re into.
Here’s a link to our local “accessible” legends Psychlona, Yorkshire desert rock, for fans of queens of the Stone Age, dozer, fu Manchu etc https://youtu.be/PSJZZly1bFM?si=sCCcRD96Gy4asMLv |

The Anchoress: gorgeous Prog/Pop
Acid Mother's Temple: bonkers Japanese Psych Rock
Steven Wilson (and his many projects): the biggest musical rabbit hole you'll ever go down, truly progressive (and not in an old man in dad jeans, tucked in King Crimson t-shirt and Skechers shoes kind of way!) |

Penguin Cafe Orchestra
Instrumental music but quirky and melodic (guaranteed you’ve unknowingly heard them as their music often crops up in movies, TV programs and ads) |

I've seen quite a few of these bands mentioned live.
Penguin cafe orchestra, they opened for portico quartet (also very good, especially the earlier albums)
Paradise lost ( ages ago opening for sepultura)
Steve Wilson and porcupine tree, opening for ozric tentacles.
If you like Sixto rodriguez / sugarman..I also recommend an artist called Jackson c Frank. 🙂👌 |

"Government mule, Warren Haynes is a guitarist guitaristhttps://youtu.be/NITSpcWduvA?si=XAkzlU1DFsdBhZ61 " endless parade " , a prima-donna with a premination"
I had a government mule phase, but was not impressed. Flashes of brilliance. But their flashes beat most others entire output.
This to me is brilliant and is on my scene play list.

Jackson C Frank
If you are a fan of Simon & Garfunkel, Fairport Convention, Nick Drake, Steeleye Span etc.. etc... you will LOVE Jackson. After all, they all admiited they "borrowed" their acts from him, pretty much! |

Starz
If you're a fan of 80's glam metal and love the likes of Motley Crue, Bon Jovi, Ratt and especially Poison then Starz did it first and were a huge influence, along with KISS of course, on that style. |

Yes
I tell people that are folk fans to check his music out, he was an influence on nick drake & paul simon..
paul simon even lived with Jackson c Frank in the 60s in an apartment in london.
If you read just jackson c Frank 's Wikipedia entry it's an incredible story that you couldn't make up...there was an attempt to make a documentary film about his life (via crowd funding), not sure where that's up to.
Milk and honey & i want to be alone are beautiful tracks. |

In a similar vein I'd mention Bert Jansch whose work was shamelessly ripped off by Jimmy Page for Led Zep. |

That is sadly true. Jansch couldn't afford a solicitor to sue Led Zep so never got his (due) royalties.
I've never seen a Bert Jansch gig where he didn't play at least one Frank song though. He certainly was a massive influence on all that scene. |

Absolutely: a wonderful musician sadly taken far too early. |
