1. Omega is one of the most successful Hungarian rock bands. Formed in Budapest, Hungary in September, 1962 by the winds player László Benkő on vocal, piano and flute and János Kóbor as a lead singer and rhythm guitarist, they initially performed covers of British and American rock songs, with frequently changing the lineup of members. In 1967 Tamás Mihály came on bass, Gábor Presser joined on keyboards and began writing original music for the band (in 1968 György Molnár became a lead guitarist), releasing three LPs before leaving the band with József Laux, a drummer from 1962, to form Locomotív GT. These first albums were heavily influenced by the music of The Beatles, but they also looked forward to the band’s future more progressive, space-rock style. After Presser and Laux’s departure, the band found a new drummer (Ferenc Debreceni came from group Neoton Familia) and pointed Benkő as the main keyboardist, creating the current lineup, which has remained the same for over 30 years:

* János Kóbor (“Mecky”), lead vocals
* György Molnár (“Elefánt”), guitars
* László Benkő (“Laci”), keyboards, vocals
* Tamás Mihály (“Misi”), bass, vocals
* Ferenc Debreceni (“Ciki”), drums

    Ok, Omega from Greece on the separate page. But I want to see this damned dubstep on the separate page much more. Why should I see track named "Love That Pussy" on the page with free tracks for me? It's extremely unpleasant.

    Hahaha didn't expect a reaction so soon :p You know it's just bullshitting. You can't compare them because the genres are completely different. But hating on either the Dominican Omega or the Hungarian Omega or any other Omega is just misplaced. Lastfm should make a better distinction between different artists. There's no point in hating on any of the Omegas.

    Last.fm, why don't you do something? Mixing hungarian rock with such a gay, east coast rape is a terrible sin and dishonour.

    Еще раз огромная просьба модераторам: развести на разные страницы разных исполнителей! Великая венгерская группа не имеет ничего общего с шоколадным мачо! Пусть этот мачо сидит на каком-нибудь попсовом теге и не вносит путаницу в головы непосвещенных!
