Obscure alright Indy - I only know one ...
I Love It When You Call Me Names - Joan Armatrading ... 3.5
Even though I don't know the Jimmy Barnes song I'll give it a 1 because I cannot stand his voice! :P
Subject: Re: Rate These Obscure Songs
Sorry Indy Gent, I didn't recognize any of those. :-/
Subject: Re: Rate These Obscure Songs
I recognize the following three:
Guitar, Talk, Love and Drums-Gary Myrick
Switchin' To Glide/This Beat Goes On-The Kings
It's Inevitable-Charlie
And I usually recognize some pretty obscure songs and haven't heard either of them in a long time.

Wow!...You've even got me there, Indy...
A few of the names are familiar, but being the mainstream sort of bloke that I am, the songs aren't...apologies...

What the hell is AOR ???
Subject: Re: Rate These Obscure Songs
Did a quick search; I think it's "melodic rock".

Album oriented rock
Subject: Re: Rate These Obscure Songs
Correct, Billy. Basically, it's stuff that isn't played on the other stations. A precursor to alternative or classic album rock.

Pretty obscure list. The only one I know is The Confessor and I'll give it a 5. I've always loved that song. Got to see him perform it in a show with the Doobie Brothers :)

Switchin' To Glide/This Beat Goes On-The Kings
I know it ! I give it a 3.5 !
Children of The Sun-Billy Thorpe and the Aztecs
Jaytee ? You don't know this Billy Thorpe song ? Did you know he came from Moorooka orginally ? 4 !
Too Much Ain't Enough Love-Jimmy Barnes
Gotta agree with Jaytee here ! His voice was good when mixed in with Cold Chisel, but on his own he simply left me cold..... 2 !
I Love It When You Call Me Names-Joan Armatrading
4.5 ! Not too many people seem to know this song ? It was a reasonable hit here in it's time !

OMG - why have I never been told this?? Still, I don't think I know this particular song. I think my favourite Billy Thorpe song would be "It's Almost Summer". :D
