I remember that Genesis and VDGG were really big in Italy during the 70's at least as touringbands. I don't know if that showed in therms of record sales.

Italy was VDGG's biggest fan base. I think they scored a number one album in Italy, but how many you have to sell there to reach that position I dont know.

(Not really prog related but) Speaking of album sales, should Guns 'N Roses be in there somewhere? I may have misread this, but I'm sure I once read somewhere that "Appetite for Destruction" sold 40 Million copies or something?

Neither can I. I cant stand that band. If I ever hear Hotel California again, and that awful three note guitar solo, I'll...I'll

Probably just moan about it some more..



The funny thing about it is, the Eagles (dunno which members actually received writing credit) actually lifted the main progression of Hotel California from Jethro Tull's 'We Used To Know' from the Stand Up album. Looking at it that way, Hotel California is actually a prog song...

NNNNNNNNNNOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!Censored

Sorry, I refuse to accept that. Its one of the most unproggressive songs I've ever heard in my life.
