The best records of rock - Part one (1971-81)



El sentimiento del conocimiento se sumerge en la música, y uno de los brazos de la misma se aferra fuertemente a un movimiento que no desfallece, sigue en pie como la última antorcha que da fuerzas a los miles de seguidores incondicionales. No es otro que el Rock en su máxima potencia.
