Obscure Musicians that people should know about.

Do you know of any osbcure established musicians that dont have a great deal of exposure, that you think are ace and that other people should hear?

For example :

Chris Bell, who was a member of the band Big Star, whos solo work is fantastic, kind of spaced out, he was a big influence on the sound of Flaming Lips.

Check him out, particulalry a song called "I am the Cosmos"

They're usually obscure for a reason, people being too lazy, stupid or both to know any better.

I intend to keep it that way.

Graham Nash of The Hollies and CSNY released an excellent solo album called "Songs For Beginners", which is really rather good.
