Alice Cooper -Trash
Hearing it today fills me with nostalgia and little else, but back then I really liked it a lot, and then in the Poison video there was a model with two pumpkins who deserved a monument. more
The Plimsouls -The Plimsouls... Plus
Rare, purchased directly from the States, it contains a series of irresistible tracks all within the realm of (aridaglie!) Power Pop. Among the tracks, almost all noteworthy, are "Now," "Hush, Hush," "Zero Hour," and "Everyday Things." more
The dB's -Stands for deciBels / Repercussion
In a perfect collection of '80s American rock, these first two albums cannot be missing; fortunately, they were recently reissued on a single CD. Find them and give them a try. more
The Records -Smashes, Crashes and Near Misses: The Best of the Records
"Starry Eyes" ...representatives among the best of English Power Pop between the 70s and 80s. Among the first two albums (a third will also be released), I choose the compilation, which best represents them. more
Let's Active -Big Plans for Everybody
A small forgotten gem from the 80s, a sort of "Jungle Power Pop." Probably the best album from Mitch Easter's band, how can we not mention "In Little Ways" and "Fell"? more
Wes Craven
SCREAM (and I've said it all!) more
Guthrie Govan
From what I've heard, he seems like a good guitarist. What do you think? more
Terry Kath
Among the greatest electric guitarists to have come into this world. "FREE FORM GUITAR was performed on a Fender Stratocaster guitar through a Showman amplifier. No electronic gimmicks or effects were used in the recording." more
Tim Buckley -Lorca
Dark disk like black death. Masterpiece, of course. more
Jeff Beck
Don't confuse it with Beck. And with Beck's. more
Phil Elvrum
"Hi! Even though no one gives a damn about me, I'm a fucking genius. Yes, I'm also humble and modest." more
Bob Dylan -Highway 61 Revisited
Discone, although perhaps not his most beautiful. "Desolation Row" is terrifying. The avant-garde will never cease to amaze us, but in popular music during this time, Bob left everyone behind with an embarrassingly easy ease, in terms of innovation. more
Code Blue
Splendid Power Pop-New Wave trio led by Dean Chamberlain.
"There will come a time We will meet again Face to face Skin to skin..." to be retrieved! more
Mimmo Parisi.
Rock Singer-Songwriter more
Burzum -Hvis Lyset Tar Oss
If I limit myself to saying that it's a great album, not his peak but great nonetheless, no one (I hope) can arrest me for terrorism or possession of firearms... more
Marillion -Fugazi
In my opinion, this is the masterpiece of the Fish era. More mature in sound than the first, more experimental than the nevertheless remarkable "Misplaced Childhood." more
Jeff Beck Group -Truth
A seminal group in the history of rock blues, which alongside their cousins the Zeppelins, kicked off (according to many) hard rock in its early form. Beck showcases all the qualities he already displayed with the Yardbirds, while Stewart spits fire and brimstone with his voice. A really great record... more
Johnny Thunders -So Alone
Tears disc for me. After releasing two of the coolest albums ever [the self-titled by the New York Dolls and L.A.M.F. with the Heartbreakers], Johnny delivers his third masterpiece in '79, his first solo effort. And, to be fair, the last one where he still manages to maintain a semblance of stability before his life and career get completely consumed by too much "living the Rock n' Roll".... more
Web -I spider
A spectacular album steeped in mystery: an R'n'B band transformed by the immense Dave Lawson into a Prog-Act with a dark and enveloping sound, laced with Jazz and the Dark Sound so characteristic of the 1970s. An underground gem. more
The Pretty Things -Emotions
It may not be on the level of the irresistible Get the Picture, but I really enjoyed this one as well. Cleaner, less raw and wild, more mature, more melodic, and vaguely psychedelic—it's the best possible transition between the PT of 1965 and those of S.F. Sorrow. Not everything lives up to the masterpiece, but it has some unforgettable tracks (for example, the opening track, "House of Ten," and "My Way"). For me, a very beautiful record, 4 generous stars. more
