You want us to list 20 but you get to list 50? Talk about breaking the rules. By the way, that Moody Blues album was released in 1969. |

no wonder we dont have any French or German or
Italians on the site!. Well one italian we'll fix him! 
Its our duty to the world as international caretakers to be educated on these cultures, No? these guys have as much talent as any anglosaxheads.
do you realize how difficult it is for people from other cultures to read over and over about these english bands and a bunch of modern day half pints from america. Its like, well its kinda like, its like listening to DB!
