BTW, here's another one in the 'bad' column you might recognize :



OMFG

whats with the guy hair, anyway???????!!!!!!!

He's Peruvian!  Thought maybe he was a national treasure or something (you know, like Orleans is for us, and Triumph and Saga are for Canada )!




Lol, he was pretty famous back in the late 60´s and seventies. But no one really really remember him this days (I mean young people of course).

I think his last studio album was released on 1991. Do people still listen to new wave???

Here are some of rulli rendo´s album covers. Just for you ClemofNazareth!!! LOL



  do you want a piece?   what´s with all the butts??? he is really cool!

no comments

yup.

those are actually 4 album covers. Not very original huh?

Also, as you can see, in all his albums the word "toque" appears (wich means touch). Every single album title has the word touch, it is like his special touch . Rulli´s touch, Andean Touch, from touch to touch etc.

Againm not very original huh?


Prog rocks!!!!!!!

Maybe you're too young to know this but on those days we had a milirtary Government, so the curfews were very comon (The translation for curfew is TOQUE de queda).

So people made parties that started at the time the curfew started (11:00 pm normally) and ended at 6 am when the limitation was over was ove, so it was called "De toque a toque (From start of curfew to end of curfew).

All mediocre artists like this guy (Well, his music is infamous) made long songs that were a kind of medleys so people could dance for 20 minutes, so they used the word TOQUE all the time.
