One of the first bands I heard of when I was getting into Japanese music was GLAY, but at the time I was on 56k Internet and so it was virtually impossible to get hold of their stuff. I got broadband and still found it was difficult to track any downloads down, finally now that I have torrents I've downloaded the discorgaphy and I'm really quite impressed. Either no-one's thought to think of making a therad for them because simple no-one likes them or well...they just haven't. So...any thoughts?
daigong edit....for EPICness...thank you thank you Kaizer for settin it up
