The term is used in magazine, music and lifestyle pioneer home Bandung is to identify the bands that play loud music with the style of a more `wild 'and` extreme' to measure time. But if want honest, songs played in bands in the top of the track is not the work of their own, but belong to the band-band kind of foreign Deep Purple, Jefferson Airplane, Black Sabbath, Genesis, Led Zeppelin, Kansas, Rolling Stones to ELP . Kontraproduktif this tradition and the historical record
