Another strong chart! Thanks for introducing me to Hans-A-Plast and The (Leyton) Buzzards.

Hallo Liedzeit,
you did a very good and interesting chart.
A lot to discover and...especially in your top 10.
Besonders freu ich mich natürlich, dass noch jemand an Hans_A-Plast und natürlich an Wolf Biermann gedacht hat.
Ich habe ihn vor 2 Jahren nochmal live gesehen: Er hat sich natürlich geändert und ist sich doch treu geblieben.
Die lässig-arrogante Selbstgewißheit der Jugend (die mir damals so gefallen hat) ist natürlich weg und die heutige Altersweisheit...hatte er ja wohl schon immer.
