[Heeplist] New Boston cd out today

[Bob Winward]

You misunderstood my point, I was talking about the 70's bands lasting into
the 80's in rebuttal to what Jay said about Heep sounding like a "dime a
dozen band" (in the 80s)  I was not trying to site the history of every
band, just that there were a few like UFO and Rainbow in the 80's.  So you
could add Black Sabbath and Nazereth, but I do not think in my opinion their
work is as good as Heep's output. (however I am sure you will argue that and
tell me my opinion is wrong lol)

P.S.
I also think that 1970-76 Heep is an OUTSTANDING band.
