Here are a few of mine.  On a couple of the artists--I got stuck between 2 songs

eminem-lose yourself

a perfect circle-passive

Coldplay-clocks

red hot chili peppers- suck my kiss

I don’t think there’s anything obscure anymore, it’s just that actual old school radio only plays the same things that were played 15 years ago. Newer stuff unless it’s pop is more just streamed.  

A lot of stuff I really like was shown to me from an algorithm from me listening to relatively popular bands.

I wasn’t really even referring to mine, I just mean with the way music is consumed now that people are bound to find stuff they like that others may not know.  I could type in Led Zeppelin and have Spotify or pandora send me down a huge rabbit hole.
