[Heeplist] New Boston cd out today

[Igor Shveitser]

 Black Sabbath did. 1969 - 1995, I'd say. And their material overall (before they collapsed in mid 90-s) is more critically acclaimed than Heep's. Nazareth is another name, Bob. As for Rainbow - they were not a band in a Heep or Purple sense of the word. And they lasted only from 1975 until 1984 - when Ritchie called it a day in favour of reuniting with Purple and doing PS. 
P.S.
I also think that 1970-76 Heep is an OUTSTANDING band. :)))))))))))))
