    Some good stuff here. My standouts are The Sef Lemelin track, which is just lovely and tge Delta Goodrum song, which surprised me because I usually think that her material is never quite as good as her voice. Billionaire is excellent though.

    Love the Esa Holopainen song. Any relation to Tuomos or is Holopainen Finland's equivalent of Jones :)? Do you know who the singer is? the listing I found for the album wasn't much help.

    This post has reminded me to look up Maustetytot, too. Interesting duo.

    Sorry to be so late in this thread, but as a Pole I'll try to deliver some answers :)

    First of all, Metallica has always been huge in Poland (and I really mean HUGE). Possibly the most popular foreign band. In the 80s they were the favorites of metalheads here (second only to Iron Maiden), but "Black Album" helped them to achieve enormous popularity among more casual public (just like it did anywhere in the world). From 1991 to 2018 they had 18 songs in the top 10 on the most popular Polish radio hit list. 7 of those songs reached number 1. Metallica's cover of When a Blind Man Cries spent 40 weeks on that list. I hope it sheds some light on how massive this band is in Poland.
    Secondly, I'm sure that with the release of the S & M2, the already huge interest grew even more and made some new fans delve into Metallica's discography.

    BTW I'll be glad to help if you have any questions regarding Polish rock, but I should give notice in advance, that I'm familiar mostly with 70s, 80s and 90s bands :)

    Thanks for writing. I know Metallica are huge in Poland but was there something in particular which set off sales in this particular period? Even for Poland, it's unusual to have multiple Metallica albums all in the top 50 at once years later ;)

    I'd love to hear more about Poland in the 70s, especially the prog and hard rock scenes with which I am most familiar. SBB, Niemen, Skaldowie, Budka Suflera are some of the artists/bands I know from that period but I'd be curious to hear more from you about all of that and other periods as well.

    From later periods, I've also enjoyed Exodus, Quidam, Millenium, Riverside, Kruk, Retrospective and Lunatic Soul to varying degrees among others.

    As you know, I'm partial yo a bit of folk-rock so that Tanzwut track was right up my street. Never heard of them despite their long recording career and the act they are apparently linked to Corvus Corax, a band I know well,

    Dota Kehr and Fury In The Slaughterhouse are worth exploring too I reckon.

    Always nice to see the old stagers back in the charts so kudos to Kansas. I've enjoyed their last race of studio albums so I'm hoping that their enthusiasm to record hasn't left the band along with Zak Rivzi.

    Some curious - not in a bad way though- tracks there. I love the idea of a world where lounge jazz versions of Bill the Quill's poetry makes the charts and an act that looks and sounds like the resident band of your local folk club have not one but two albums in the top twenty. :D

    Del Amitri & Blackberry Smoke up to their usual high standards!

    Rise Against is another example of a band that has been going for ages, had a fair dgree of success in my country yet have past me by until now. Strong song! Enjoyed The Elis Mano Band & Wolf Alice too.

    Good to see Flotsam & Jetsam still going. I had no idea.

    As for Metallica, the release of S&M2 played a part, but also their remastering campaign was pretty big around the web here. Every online music shop I visited had banners with Metallica's logo and offers for newly remastered old titles. Really good marketing.

    I'm quite surprised that you know so many classic Polish rock artists :righton: I knew that SBB had enjoyed some popularity in Western Europe back in the 70s, but really didn't expect you'd know any other artists from Poland. In fact, you already know of the most important 70s bands, which were few in that decade, because Polish rock scene was small until the early 80s. Still, I hope I can suggest some interesting titles. Should I PM info to you, or would you like it posted here (info, links, videos)? Don't want to threadc*ap.

    Hi and thanks for the reply. No need to worry about the thread going in other directions; very few people here are interested in music from outside of the usual countries so it won't matter :) As you might have guessed from this thread topic, I'm interested in music from a lot of different places, including Poland, so it's very welcome here.

    Please feel free to mention any groups or albums you think might be of interest. Even if I already know of them, it's interesting to hear other viewpoints on them and of course also feel free to talk about other periods and styles too if you like.

    I'm also curious to know how much music from places like Hungary, Czech Republic, Russia or Serbia etc made/makes its way to Poland (and the other way around) and how much interaction there is/was.

    Thanks!

    I figured you'd be interested in Tanzwut and that was one of the reasons I made sure to post a video :)

    Glad you enjoyed the others; it was a nice range of artists this week!
