And anyway, considering which countries have been included so far, it's best to think of this thread as mainly concerning those which previously have been called "East European" - some of these countries may today often be called "Central European".

The real name of Blue Effect is Modry Efekt.

Anyway there's a lot of great artists from behind the iron curtain. Marian Varga and Collegium Musicum first of all, then Csaba Vedres and After Crying is great stuff.

That's an old, political definition of "East Europe", and I think it's better with an attempt for a new, geographical one. Smile

You could say this blog has been "Balkanised", because I've included all of the countries in former Yugoslavia too. Smile

I wasn't planning to include Greece here initially, but I've had so many great suggestions for Greek bands to be added to the list that it would have been churlish of me to exclude them. At least I drew the line somewhere by not including Turkey and Israel in the list, even though they're both in the Eurovision Song Contest.  Tongue

Strangely, I haven't yet found any prog from Prague, or anywhere else in former Czechoslovakia. Confused






Well that’s an awesome list even without any mention of bands from Czechoslovakia
