So I've removed them from my post as well, and can tell here that my fave Greek albums are:

                        Aphrodite’s Child  -  666  (1972)

                        P.L.J. Band  -  Armageddon  (1982)

                        Ciccada  -  A Child In The Mirror  (2010)

                        Naxatras  -   Naxatras  (2015)


Plenty to look forward to there, and at least I won't have to wait long to feature Ciccada in my alpha to omega listings, although I haven't yet figured out where the letter "C" fits in the Greek alphabet. Wink

Not that I today will claim Greece to be an East European country. Big smile

Me neither. I don't want to reopen that can of Greek worms again, so to speak. Big smile

At least we're all agreed that Greece is at the southern end of the Balkan peninsula. Smile

I'm currently in the process of moving all of the Greek bands over to this blog from my East European Prague Archives blog. Thumbs Up

Well, you'll know a lot more by the time I reach the letter "omega" and if you want to have a listen to a great album from the first batch of Greek prog, then check out the sound of Aries! Thumbs Up
