20 is a lot. Some bands don't have that many songs even, at least not relased on album. But let's see. In no particular order: 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. -------------  BaldJean and I; I am the one in blue. |

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!!!
