Hello everybody!!!!!!!!

My name is Rimvydas and I’m also a Hungarian classic rock fan from Lithuania. I started to listen that music in soviet times just didn’t manage to hear a lot of it. Nowadays the possibilities to find something interesting are of course much more better. I write this message and listen to General album “General 1971-1975″ which I managed to download from torrents.ru (there’s a lot of wonderful music by the way).

I’d like to enquire in my message where could I find discography of General. I meet with difficulties when I print General in google……. Also it was great that my mentioned discography was with names of albums and names of pieces there.

Of course I have some albums of Hungarian rock giants Omega and Locomotiv GT. Recently I even found discography of LGT which I shal certainly download. Also have some albums of Illes (sorry for possible wrong transcription of words), East, Neoton, Metro. Just would like to ask whether it is possible to download something from Hungarian web sites? Where could I read and get information about Hungarian bands which play good classic Hungarian rock?

With best wishes,

Rimvydas

Hey Matt!

I’m glad to see that my country is represented in your musical journey!
I’ve always loved to listen the tunes on bennloxo so it’s very pleasing to enjoy our beloved melodies on your blog.

Best wishes,

Gábor Varga from Budapest, Hungary

Bonjour Matt, i have heard a hungarian singer (he sings in english here).It’s jazz and i think he played with another hungarian jazzman, Gabor Gado.
You can hear samples here:
