When I was real little, I thought that they probably didn't have music in Communist countries because everybody never talked about that.
When I got a bit older, I knew they had music in those countries but probably not rock and roll. They just listened to classical music, jazz, and folk music.
I started reading about famous pop stars from the Eastern bloc a few years ago on the net and began to listen to their music...boy, that changed everything and I have heard some amazing stuff from those places!
(Could you imagine a band singing the Beatles in Croatian in 1964, no doubt?)
