Sanullim is, of course, the biggest Korean rock band from the late 1970s. Their first album was released in 1976 and was a classic. Their second album was probably their best. After Shin Joong-hyun and the rockers of the 1960s and early 1970s got into trouble with the government for various reasons, Sanullim was considered a much safer band, mostly singing about love and food, nothing political. Later on, they made several albums for kids, too.
Sanullim's albums were all issued in CD format years ago. I bought a couple but always put off picking up the rest of them for one reason or another until it was too late -- everything was out of print. Some details about Sanullim's albums are here and here. Best essay about them is here.
Hey! Someone even set up a Sanullim Myspace page. That's kind of cool.
And Shin Joong-hyun at Myspace, too. I fear I am about to be sucked in to a long spell of distraction...
