    Fan Rocks
In summary, a person recently purchased the definitive collection of Hanoi Rocks and thinks they are an underrated band with unique material. They ask if anyone else has heard of them and what their thoughts are. Another person mentions they are from Finland and influenced the Manic Street Preachers. They also mention a fun time with the band and consider them one of the best from the 80's, along with Guns N Roses.
