Do u listen to these while playing chess?
Legião Urbana

Well i have 3 screens... chess on one... music (or other things) on another... work on the other :))

No, haven't heard about them before but that's not too suprising considering how little I know about the Brazilian music. I have a Bossa Nova collection lying around somewhere and may know few of the internationally big hits and artists but that's about it.
My first impression is that they sound quite similar to many english/american new wave bands of the era apart from the language of course. Should probably really understand what they are singing to get into this.

Yes... they can be counted as part of this movement...

Eu escutei Legião por um bom tempo... Meio que por acidente, a coisa ficou para trás.
Ouvi outras músicas, outras melodias... há uns três meses um amigo trouxe o seu iPod repleto de música brasileira, entre elas, é claro, tinha Legião.
Escutei três faixas e não aguentei mais... Renato desafinou demais e a melodia me soou tão repetitiva...
Realmente não entendi o que aconteceu. Esperava ficar contente em escutar as melodias de tão boas memórias... Realmente gostava de escutá-los, mas agora não.
I'm wondering if people around the world ever heard about this band which was so important and decisive in 80's Brazilian rock music scene...
This last one is my generation anthem...
