Rock Generation

Brazilian fictional band. Feeling that the "true rock 'n' roll" was over after Elvis Presley was drafted into the US Army, Raul Seixas decided to honor the genre by recording a selection of hits. However, forbidden by the record company to put his name on the cover - because they thought that it could hurt Krig-Ha, Bandolo! sales (also released in 1973) - the label decided to credit the album to a fictional band called "Rock Generation" with Raul assigned with a production credit. The album didn't received much media exposure and ended up being forgotten in stores, but after the sales success of Krig-Ha, Bandolo! and Gitâ the label eventually re-released it 1975, retitled as 20 Anos de Rock. Latter it was retitled and reissued as 30 Anos de Rock in 1985 and as Os 24 Maiores Sucessos Da Era Do Rock in 2001, both crediting Raul Seixas as the main artist on the front cover.
