Shoes -Present Tense / Tongue Twister
More "Power Pop" from the group of Zion probably can't be found. Another splendid pairing, especially "Present Tense" with "Tomorrow Night," "Too Late," and "In Your Arms Again." more
Fabrizio De André
Good job, but long live the uallera! more
Charlie Parker & Dizzy Gillespie
The best couple of the last 750 years more
Fabrizio De André
Well done, but long live Guccini! more
Saturday's Children
Second half of the 60s. From Chicago dreaming of England. Group victim of the British invasion, Beatles above all. "I HARDLY KNOW HER" by Saturday's Children  more
Peter Gabriel -Security
Masterpiece, dreamy and ethereal atmosphere. Monstrous wallflower. more
Ronaldo
Phenomenon. Whether he is the strongest in the world, I don't think so; whether he is the most decisive is beyond question - he has carried his team to the World Cup ALL BY HIMSELF. Just as it is beyond question that he is a megalomaniac like no other (he has already designed his personal museum) and a player VERY prone to simulation. But when you score more goals than matches played... more
Fairfield Parlour -From Home to Home
An autumnal record, in its brief melancholic digressions, accentuated by personal lyrics on the edge of multiple existential regrets. Evocative voice, simple melodic lines drawn by an ever-present mellotron. A Minor Classic from that 1970. more
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
