So wadda you gonna do with too much time on your hands?. Well, why not build the ultimate Flamin' Groovies resource...?.
Dunno of how much use this is for you foreigners, but I just located a on-line date base for the Dutch Top 40; Hitoverzicht 1965 - 2004, but it might just be the perfect tool to check if bands were really that "big in Holland" as they sometimes claim. As for me, I learned that it was indeed 1972 when I first heard both Prince Buster and Earl Bostic, tho' I still have no idea why they both had belated hits that year, and 'Rock 'n' Roll Highschool' apparently never got higher than the number 8 spot, even tho' I always remembered it as gettin' all the way up to #1, oh well... (Link c/o Dubbel Mono).
