Hi Slava,
if Iīd  tell the truth, I didnīt believe Tata Bojs to add here. But thatīs a pity, their music is certainly interesting, especially their "Nanoalbum". They are, unfortunately, not accepted neither by rockers, nor by pop radios. Their roots are in Punk rock. Nowadays, their style is something like Prog-Indie-Dance (and this isnīt accepted in PA, regrettably).
 
I recommend you OTK and I hope youīll like it.

And Milan ? The best thing you (and I) can do is to have patience, not to push these suggestions by pressure.

Just keep on mind that when someone suggests something, teams are extremely busy, there are dozens of bands they have to evaluate and dozens more are being suggested every week.  

Try to wait few weeks before bumping. Bumping, mentioning them again.


Anyway, I'm quite glad for your propositions. They are giving me hints what is and what is not Prog - from the music I don't know / don't know so well.

If you want, just suggest them to me and wait some time, I will eventually handle them sooner or later.

No update yet, so let me show you Eastern European charts:

Without Poland & Russia (too big)

Including Poland & Russia

UPDATE:

note that Mexico, Pakistan, South Africa, Turmenistan and Multi-National actually aren't on these lists if you look closer. It's just error in PA charts system that always puts them in selection, but they aren't in the list.

Unless you process the list again.

Very interesting charts Marty, thanks. Nice to see a Romanian album on top in both charts. Tongue

I had to edit out Mexico, Pakistan, South Africa, Turmenistan and Multi-National, though. Wink

Surprising to see After Crying's albums so low (27, 53, 61 etc.) in the chart. To me they're one of the best bands from this area of the world.

What a big lists! Never thought there are so many E.European albums .

In full list mostly Polish and Czech/Slovak bands are on the top positions, with ex-YU teams right after - I think in whole it's a right picture of region

Intriguing chart list. Very unusual when you compare it to some of the world charts.
 
 
Whats on top 10 Czech radio at present? Not prog but mainstream charts?
 
At present Australia charts are full of RapDeadDeadDead and Hip HopDeadDeadDeadDeadDead
 
Top 10 Australian Singles
 
 
i am embarassed to turn on the radio - actually the radio is rubbish, I will turn to prog webradiostations anyday.

I am not sure about Czech radio, but for example in Poland there are some small stations, and even few bigger, who translates quite interesting music - from old-time jazz and blues to late 60s-70s progressive rock, jazz-rock, etc. For sure, all big commercial radio stations translate same pop all around the world

The same in here Scott, I haven't turned on radio for years now.

Originally posted by Biggest radio station Evropa 2 Biggest radio station Evropa 2 wrote:


Lady Gaga, Miley Cyrus, 30 seconds to Mars, Eminem, HIM, Muse and few other + some Czech artists PopRock mostly


However, there is quiet famous radio station called Radio Beat, where Beat stands for Rock. It's Rock radio, playing Prog music too, but mostly Rock.

There is top 500 song list that was made by votes of listeners:

http://www.abclinuxu.cz/blog/FluxBlog/2008/6/-500-flaku-od-beataku-2008

Just scroll through Czech text till you get to the list.

Quote


1
HIGHWAY TO HELL - AC/DC
2
STAIRWAY TO HEAVEN - LED ZEPPELIN
3
SATISFACTION - ROLLING STONES
4
HIGH HOPES - PINK FLOYD
5
WE WILL ROCK YOU - QUEEN
6
RUN TO THE HILLS - IRON MAIDEN
7
NOTHING ELSE MATTERS - METALLICA
8
PARANOID - BLACK SABBATH
9
YESTERDAY - BEATLES
10
SMOKE ON THE WATER - DEEP PURPLE

So at least you can be barely in connection with Prog here. And Rock quite rocks too, it's good substitute for Prog at times.

I'm amazed!Clap Never heard of those.

It's a pity they released just a handful of singles...it seems Ibn Tup are from Vojvodina, most likely Novi Sad.


Here's my little contribution to prog obscurity of the former country:
Percussion, sir!

So, it's nothing strange I never heard about Terusi as well, even if I spent almost three years living not too far from Tuzla
