What’s this InObscuria thing? We’re a podcast that exhumes obscure Rock n' Punk n' Metal and puts them in one of 3 categories: the Lost, the Forgotten, or the Should Have Beens. If you’ve never listened to Dylan because of his polarizing voice and delivery, try these awesome rock n’ punk n’ metal versions instead!

  1. Frank Marino & Mahogany Rush – “All Along The Watchtower” from Tales Of The Unexpected (1979)
