A Plague of Lighthouse Keepers, Killer, Octopus, Arrow, When she Comes,
Nutter Alert, Man-Erg, The Emperor In His War Room, Sleepwalkers,
Lemmings, Still Life, Pioneers Over c, After the Flood, Ship of Fools,
Every Bloody Emperor, White Hammer, Meurglys III - the Songwriter's
Guild, House With No Door, Scorched Earth, Childlike Faith In
Childhood's End.
There you are. And the band? Well, guess.

I think he was surrendering because you were able to find 20 wonderful songs by a different band, not because he didn't know the name of the band... I think... otherwise he should be banned from this forum after being tortured for a while!!!
