POI-E at No 2 in the Rocked the Nation 100 countdown? I don't think so. Just as well they didn't make it to No 1 or the tongues would have wagged something wicked with the whining on talkback radio.

Where were Gary Thain from Uriah Heep, Richard O'Brien who wrote and starred in The Rocky Horror Picture Show, Chris Thompson playing in Manfred Mann's Earth Band and Billy Christian who had a long history of playing with international bands, including the Moody Blues?
