Agreed superb, saw them live in the 80's in a club in Newcastle, wonderful.

^Thanks, Spaciousmind! Your latest (and exhaustive) suggestions have been added to the big list!
This seems to be the largest list yet, as we have tackled 1969 and 1970 before. (Also, it will soon take the whole page LOL)

Well...my comment is that many on the lists posted  simply aren't obscure or at least not 'most obscure' which was the OP comment. For example how is Wishbone Ash , Savoy Brown, Donovan, Beefheart, Groundhogs , BBKing, Denny, John Prine, Mitch Ryder, Melanie, and many more...  ...most obscure...?

Really obscure? Just list your favorite Avant/RIO albums from 1971 instead.

Wu, I noted these albums as obscure strictly for this website. I guarantee relatively few folks have heard Mitch Ryder or John Prine here....or Melanie for that matter. But they will have heard Jan Dukes De Grey, even though their original albums are out of print. LOL

It's all relative..... two of my close relatives have never heard of King Crimson (shock, horror!), so from their perspective, Robert Fripp & co. are obscure. Tongue

Lol...and true... I added Free to 1970 because I bet you a lot of the younger listeners in this forum have never heard of them since they are obviously not listed here Tongue or Rory Gallagher with Taste :)

Most of these are obscure, except to old folks like me and Dr.Wu. A strange aside, Fripp remastered all of Melonie's albums for CD. Does that make her an honorary prog artist?
