best greek band

Message Topic Search Topic Options Post Reply Create New Topic Printable Version Translate Topic

   Have not heard all the bands I listed but if you can 

find them from memory, Ta Tessera Epipeda Tis 

Yparxis (1976) is probably the most keyboard 

oriented from the early 70's(think thats the one).

I would suggest that you look at the Greek scene as 

being Progressive Folk and similar, but 

different(Asia Minor, Indian) to the Italian scene. The 

ones with the electronic bombast with ethnic folk 

rock are real winners.

Its been years since I heard many of these(about 15, 

back in the 80's while in Athens, mostly) so my 

memory is charred. I do remember Dimitrus 

Poulikakos' Metaforai Ekdomai as being a standout 

but may not fit your criteria.

	My favourite Greek band is Sorrowful Winds (prog/power metal), and not only because they are my friends... hey, why aren't they in the archives yet???
