Another one I used to really be into was Manowar. More cheesy 80's metal.

Carry On was a great song!

haha, pretty sure I had that cassette single

I'll see your Stryper and raise you

April Wine


Honeymoon Suite

I'm a bit embarrassed I fell for the hype and bought the Zwan album. Blech.

Anyone remember Stryper. Awful.

Terrible Bumblebees

I played in a band in high school and we covered a Stryper song!

Vallejo

---

My SIL managed some properties in south Austin in the 90's and I remember my brother talking about some guys from Vallejo renting from her.

Also a band named 50 Mission Crush lived there.

LONG AGO - Street Military

not as long ago and not that ashamed - Cowboy Mouth.

Vallejo has some catchy tunes

Flowerhead
Saw them at a free concert at Williams Square in Las Colinas back in high school

Beatshots
German band that youtube drummer Anika Nilles played with for a short stint

Anyone remember:

Kix
Budgie
Marillion
Legs Diamond
King Crimson

You from S.A. or what?

---

Except someone from SA would assume everyone knew these guys. Good observation though.

Lots of other entries:

You guys do need to make a trip to SA, because a lot of these older rock bands are still touring and do find themselves in San Antonio, possibly more so than Houston, Dallas, Navasota, etc.

I know there is a poster on here who is in the photo in front of crowd for live concert of the SA popular band (I want to say Legs Diamond) as he stated on this site, show yourself .

Zodiac Mindwarp and the Love Reaction

Riotgrrrl **** like bikini kill and heavens to Betsy

Scatterbrain..... Now that was a funny band.... Obscure NY/HC

I used to love them! Probably still have their CDs somewhere around here.

Here are a few featuring lead females, that are VERY catchy, but I don't even bother telling friends about now if they've never heard of them. Put your hands up (keyboard tapping) if you've seen and/or heard of them.

Oh gosh. Interesting thread.

Ill go with Lady Tron, Ghosts. There was a lot of bands I thought were the next great thing back in 2004-2006 and they kinda just vanished. I know wolfmother may not be obscure, but I heard a song of theirs yesterday and it was a blast from the past, totally forgot about em.

unless you were in Houston in the 90s and saw the Hollisters

I think the Hollisters were still playing fairly recently. One of their CD's still gets popped into my truck from time to time. Sweee-eeeet, Sugah Laaaaannd.

Badlands - Jake E. Lee's new band after leaving Ozzy

Pride & Glory - Zakk Wylde's new band after leaving Ozzy

Not obscure, but in the 80's, Bryan Adams.

The Judys

Got a Judys t-shirt and a specialty album of theirs recorded in Russian

Marillion

I like Marillion until Steve Hogarth starts singing.

Sunflower at steamboat and black cat in the mid 90s.

Zebra

Zebra

We really only heard "Bears", "Tell Me What You Want", and "Who's Behind The Door" on the radio, but they had a lot of great tunes on the cassette I owned.

Randy Jackson still gigs some and performed with the Houston Symphony a couple years back doing Led Zeppelin songs. I bet that was good.

Big Zebra fan. 3.V is a really good, underappreciated album.
