...there is a band called Gandalf? And I haven't heard them yet!? O_O

[Guest]

And there is one called The Hobbits?! O_O My 60s listening experience has had a severe lack of Tolkien. I was having to rely upon half-hearted references by Led Zeppelin! Thank you, good sir, for your enlightening chart. XP

[Borve Baunehoj]

Yeah, greatest collection of band names in a BEA chart

[thejoj96]

Peppermint Trolley Company is the best name ever.

[gussteivi]

It's not a collection of band names, the first 60 or so albums are all albums I consider good, the rest just have one or two songs I really like.

There are also some curiosities, Spirit has the song that Led Zeppelin ripped off the intro to Stairway To Heaven from, and in case you didn't know about it already here it is:


Link


Then there's The Churls, who made the first ever grunge song:


Link


But the album I've been enjoying a lot lately is "It's all about" by Spooky Tooth.

It's sort of like Vanilla Fudge without the proto-prog and with some splashes of baroque pop.

Here's a link if anybody wants to check it out:

Favourite tracks are: 1, 5, 6 and 10.


When I look at the chart I see Pet Sounds is a bit high on it btw, might have to do something about that.
