Discoveries – June 2019
Find out what artists, bands, and other musical acts I discovered in June 2019.
Eric
Ranking Update 6.0 – The Moody Blues
Do you like The Moody Blues? Better than Boston? How about better than ELO? These questions might be tough, but I have answers.
Ranking Update 5.0 – Electric Light Orchestra
