Yeah I have a x4 cd box set of Brand X and it's ok I suppose if you like 'jazz/rock' which on the whole I don't BUT I'll keep it because it features Chuck Burgi who was in the Bent Out Of Shape Rainbow line up back in 1983-84 with Ritchie Blackmore and to a much lesser extent Phil Collins who appears on one of their albums on the box set.
Yeah not much music wise came out of main land Europe ever!!. The only rock bands that are worth a mention are or were from Holland Golden Earring, Brainbox/Focus from France Trust and from Austria Krokus and I suppose from Sweden Yngwie J. Malmsteen & Rising Force and I suppose Abba.I have no clue on some of these bands.. Alot of Euro stuff that never made it to the FM radio stations..
