Todays winner is "Leatherface - Mush"
If you don't listen to the stream i would still recommend the album. It's good.
New to the poll:
The Gits - Frenching The Bully
Good album but only relevant after 3 decades because if Mia Zapata.
The singer has a high energy voice that carries the whole Band.
They released two albums, first this one and then a second one called "Enter, The Conquering Chicken".
Mia Zapata was raped and murdered during the production of the second album.
There are professional TV productions dedicated to this rape and murder.
The one i managed to watch from start to end:

Good album.
I listened to a Chrissy Zebby Tembo song for some reason (

Wikipedia says about Zamrock: "Zamrock is a musical genre that emerged and gained popularity in Zambia during the early 1970s.[1] It has been described as a fusion of traditional African music and psychedelic rock, garage rock, hard rock, blues and funk, taking influence from popular bands like Black Sabbath, Blue Cheer, the Rolling Stones, Deep Purple, and Cream."
Of course it's just a made-up genre to describe more rock oriented music from Zambia, but listen to a "best of Zamrock" doesn't hurt.
Baby Woodrose - Third Eye Surgery
Good album.
A somewhat psychedelic rock band for Denmark.
If Wikipedia doesn't lie, the band has released 11 albums, with the first album being a solo production by founder of the group.
There actually doesn't seem to be much more to say. Some albums where even the weaker ones are at least okay and they've been released over more than 10 years, but they never had any huge success.
An article on Vice that interviewed musicians who also have to work regularly also mentions the band Baby Woodrose.
Here is the link
https://www.vice.com/en/article/pp4dqm/we-talked-to-great-danish-bands-about-having-to-work-part-time-jobs-789But so that you don't have to go to the Vice page (who wants that anyway) I'll copy the interesting part:
"10 years ago we had some moderate success with Baby Woodrose and at that point we actually lived off our music for a few years," he says. "Denmark was a bit different back then because the main radio station was open to playing other music than mainstream pop. And the royalties from radio actually made it possible to make a living. We actually did quite well for a little bit."Since then, Lorenzen has been working at a Frederiksberg bar for 8 years.
Their last release has become the best selling vinyl record in Denmark of the past 20 years according to Guf. But he still must rely on extra employment to make ends meet. This is a man who has played shows of 14.000 in attendance with SN, and entertained even larger crowds with Baby Woodrose.
"The music business is up and down and things become quite commercialized when you reach a certain level. In order to make a living off your music, you have to start viewing your songs as a product, selling them for commercials and products, essentially turning it into a commodity. We didn't want to go down that path."
Oh, and there is also this
