I was thinking mostly of songs that had charted.

Syt

Not a fan, either. But they gave an impromptu concert in Vienna when the Ibiza affair broke and people protested for the government to resign. (Their cover of Going to Ibiza was the inofficial theme song of the affair)

Metallica's seminal Master of Puppets album was released this month 35 years ago.



We're as far removed from its release as the album was from (*looks at 1951 top 30, recognizes none of the songs, just the artists*) the movies An American in Paris, Quo Vadis, and A Streetcar Named Desire.

Just learned that Shocking Blue (Venus) were Dutch.  Were there any other Dutch contributions to popular music?

Of course I've heard the song, who hasn't?  Had no idea of the band's name and no idea they were Dutch.

So I YouTubed Hocus Pocus, never heard it before. It's... not good.

Yeah, not one I've ever heard, thank you Jesus.
To sleep, perchance to dream. But in that sleep of death, what dreams may come?

HVC

Sounds like they took random songs and just said fuck it let's mix it together. And yodel too, because why not.

Though I really discovered it later, but then staying power was always there for those releases.

The early 70s were a different time.
