I like the 70s bands from (then) Yugoslavia remaining under that heading, as a separate country--how, otherwise, will those of us who favor 70s rock ever find them, trying to remember all the names that have come (and some, gone)?  How would we know which new (old) region they are to be associated with, particularly since the political regime at the time had everything to do with this?  The same always applied, and still does, in the world of stamp collecting.  I had a great old triangular issue from Tana Tuva.  It isn't a country, now, so it would be pointless to expect someone to find it under the new geographical designation.  By the same token, I certainly want to recognize newer artists under the country they are now from. 

If an old band recorded on the cusp of the breakup, having a highlighted year function here on PA would be fantastic.  (Is that possible, or being considered?) 

I bookmarked this thread: your list atop is as important to me as the contents Home page here on PA. 

Thanks again!


Thanks for the feedback mateSmile I have this thread bookmarked too; I find it quite useful sometimes. I'm not blowing in my own horn - anybody with a bit of patience here could have done it - but people obviously like it and use it. There used to be (a few years ago) a listing by country implemented in the web site; but I don't know if that feature is ever going to  be back. I hope it will...

I was going to mention that too. I used to use it a lot when that function was on here.Then one day it was gone.


I loved being able search easily by country.  That helped me to discover a lot of French bands when I started using this site, was heavily using it in 2005 though I decided not to register until I felt I knew enough music to seem fairly knowledgable, and found a particular affinity for French Prog across various categories.

It will be great to see the first prog band come out of AntarcticaSmile


This would almost surely feature Henry Kaiser as he is known to scuba dive there.

I'm going to bring this thing up again: 

Why did the links to "artists by country" listings disappear and isn't it really possible to bring them back? 




The desing of this above part has changed so that perhaps it's not possible to have the link appear there (I don't know squat about website programming, perhaps it is possible), but here in the alphabetical listings I'm sure it wouldn't be the slightest problem. At least it would be quite a lot more handy than trying to find one's way to this thread or somehow know the exact url of the country pages and then start guessing the country codes.





Please?
