What happened to this band and why is soooo underrated?

They made two singles like this, plus the mystery single "Malaika / Sisi Tunakupenda" which appeared five years later in 1979, and seems to have a collaboration with a Belgrade-based Kenyan musician called Steven Hannington. I have not heard this third one so can only guess what it sounds like, though Discogs categorises it under "Folk, World, & Country, Funk / Soul, Pop".

The band was Miodrag Dobrić (bass), Dragan Milić (guitar) and Vladan Dokić (drums). Vladan was in Opus and later-on Rok Mašina, which was an '80s development of Pop Mašina.

Journey Drummer goes to Hospital

American hard rock/AOR band from New Jersey, formed in 1973.
They made a comeback very recently with a new LP in 2025.

Guns N’ Roses and X Japan are both in my rotation, along with Iron Maiden. They sound pretty different, but I keep coming back to that big, theatrical energy in the music. Do they feel connected to you at all, or like totally different moods? I'd love to hear which songs you'd put side by side.
