Legends of Greek Rock 'n' Roll
Posted: Fri Jun 19, 2009 5:17 pm
New topic, and one which I take great delight in opening for your benefit. I fell in love with Greek Rock about ten years ago during my travels, and found so many brilliant artists in this genre that I'm tempted to say that Europe's best pop and rock music is coming from Greece.
My first post is from the early Eighties and features Pavlos Sidiropoulos, who lived and died like a true RnR legend. Song title translates to "Rock 'n' Roll On The Brain", or something close to that.

Second post is Greece's most beloved rock band, Trypes (Holes). Title translates to "Here".
